Canadian Craft Kits Brands

Loopy Wool cuts rug-hooking kits in Salisbury, New Brunswick. Beaver Creek Honey in Sherwood Park, Alberta packs a mead kit from its own bees. Tu-Bees in Saskatoon sells a beeswax wrap kit from its honey house. Play-Doh and Crayola lead the toy aisle and are not made in Canada. Spin Master in Toronto owns Melissa & Doug and Cool Maker, but those kits do not name a Canadian plant.

Which brands of craft kits are made in Canada?

4 of the 9 top brands of craft kits we scored are made in Canada, across 15 products on fyiCanada. Brands with the strongest Canadian roots come first, so a famous name with weak Canadian ties doesn’t get the top spot. How the fyiCanada score works.
