We recently received a Cubby Kit to review. Cubby Kit is a crate containing kids craft and art activities and ideas.
They are designed around themes and ours is an Outer Space one.The kit contains three craft activities. Papier Mache PlanetsFoam RocketConstellations Wall ChartAll the materials and instructions are organised neatly in the box.

Defne enjoyed making this rocket and she loves to play with it.
Cubby Kits are designed for 3-4 year olds and 5-6 years olds. Each kit is designed around a theme which give the chance for playful learning. As I said, everything that is needed comes in the box. Great if you don't have enough time or simply don't enjoy doing craft activities or don't know how to get started. I personally love doing all sorts of crafts and activities but let's face it. It does take quite a lot of time deciding what to do and organizing all the materials.
To be honest when Defne was about two and we started doing crafts, I bought a ready Easter basket kit. It was so tricky even I couldn't manage it. There is nothing more frustrating than sitting down to do something with your child and feeling like a failure. All the contents went to the bin and it was so upsetting telling my daughter that it didn't work out. Since then I never bought a ready kit but from what I see, Cubby Kit is different. It sparks the imagination and you can really "make" something with these materials. Cubby Kits can also make a lovely gift or you can just take them to granny's house or to holiday with you and enjoy with your child.Cubby Kits are sold on a monthly or annually subscription system.
