Does your kid love crafting as much as mine?
Do subscription boxes appeal to you as much as they do to me?
Are you looking for something for your darling gem to do while you run and cross train for hours at end?
Okay, you may not be able to answer yes to all of the questions above but I would think at least one fits you. And if you are still reading this post, I bet it is that your kids love crafts. Now imagine crafting fun that is:
- Good for the environment
- Educational
- Easy to get
- Affordable
And what you have is....Green Kid Crafts! Boxes start at $19.95 a month if you do a monthly subscription but if you commit to more than one month, you save. Commit to a year and the price goes as low as $17.95 a month. PLUS they have the option to add on an educator-approved book each month and/or extra sets for siblings for families with more than one craft loving kiddo.
I know at first you may be thinking, geesh, that is a lot for a craft box. But trust me, as soon as I opened the box with darling daughter I saw the value. It has everything your kiddo will need to complete the 6 or more educational projects.
Darling daughter is still enjoying her Arctic-focused box and even the Polar Bear mask, which I thought would only take minutes, took much longer than I expected. While doing this, she learned about the Inuits and their culture.
She has made homemade window clings for our windows that are still up and it has been weeks! In this project, she learned about animals that inhabit the Arctic.
Plus, she made a homemade postcard for me to mail to my buddy, Toby. And that reminds me...I gotta mail that!
She used what I thought were normal crayons for that project and as soon as she started she exclaimed, "Mom! These colors are so much more vibrant than my other crayons!" and she started reading the container and by golly, they are eco-friendly soy-based crayons. How cool is that? I never knew that existed and she was right, the colors are much more vibrant. It is amazing!
I am truly amazed by this box and am seriously considering getting her a subscription but first, she has one more box to check out but that is a post for another day but to be totally honest, it is completely different and this momma may end up getting two boxes!
