When it comes to discovering hobbies in our 20s we’ve found some of our new go-tos have been those we’ve already done in childhood, from swimming, to dance classes, and of course painting by numbers.

Yep those little kits, which have an outline of the design you’re creating and numbered sections which correspond to certain colours, ideal if like us you’re somewhat artistically challenged and need some guidance.

They've had a big makeover in the last few years and now there’s plenty of paint by numbers kits you’ll actually want to hang in your home and not just shove in a cupboard after completing them.

Whether you’re after an easy one to get you started on a painting journey, or you’re looking for inspiration for your paint and sip night, we’ve found some of the best paint by numbers kits to shop right now.
