Kid’s Crafty Sub Box: Green Kid Crafts

Another winning box from Green Kid Crafts…absolutely LOVING this box:

I didn’t order the sibling supplement this month. As an experiment, I wanted to see how the boys did with one set of crafty goodness. For this month, it worked out really well. Tyson was so excited to see three candles, he insisted I join them. Diwali Candle making:

The boys sat and worked to make their candles “beautiful” for a long time…love that it was great fine motor skills practice for Tyson as well:

Our finished lovelies:

The next day, with Ty at school, Jake ran to the box and grabbed the mask project. After setting things up for him, he went to town:

And insisted it was a “scary” mask, not “cute” or “beautiful”…

Finished version one, he proceeded to add to it as the day went on…and wore it everywhere:

If you haven’t checked them out, do it!! Super fun crafty projects, awesome philosophy…kid crafty goodness delivered to your doorstep.

We are anxiously awaiting next month’s box!!

Currently have this vision in my backseat: 

Crafty Kid Subscription Box RAVE: Kiwi Crate

I have had my eye on this particular subscription box for quite some time. I came across a $10 off coupon code and decided to pull the trigger. SO SO glad I did, we all LOVED this one. For this particular box Kiwi Crate paired with Carnegie Hall to present a music box:

We started with the xylophone activity. First step: decorate the box…

Love how Ty volunteered to help Jake write his name on his box. Sweet boy.

And THIS picture speaks volumes and expresses our love of this box more than I can articulate through prose:

Jake loved the sticker pattern part of the festivities:

Super fun and clever way to teach kids about composing music and patterns:

Playing his first ever composed piece of music, heh:

These make me swoon. I love everything about them:

We moved onto the bell bracelets. The kit provided pencils with which to decorate the wooden beads:

They were a little too tricky for Jake to manipulate, so we used crayons instead. Just as much fun, less frustration from the three year old:

After making the beads “beautiful” we stringed. Jake liked to shake after each bead to make sure it sounded just right…

And then we had our own little family dance party featuring DJ Tyson…so.much.fun!!

I absolutely LOVE this box and am giddy about what is in store for us next month…

Subscription Box: Crafty Fail

Multiple rainy days = perfect time to bust out the crafty subscription box. Today, we gave the Babba Co. box a shot…

By far, the biggest hit of the entire box was the pair of “noculars” and moon chart:

The boys excitedly waited while I prepped the moon activity:

Ty helped make the glue mixture. His face was priceless. Messy isn’t his thing. This was about as far as he got:

Jake, however, loved:

With Ty out of the picture, I stepped in and helped. One by one, we pieced on the paper squares:

A lot of hardwork later, we had this lovely:

While it dried, we read the book that was provided in the box. Super cute story:

Now, this is where things turn sour. You are supposed to pop the balloon, pull it off the edges, and end up with a round, paper mache moon. Here is our version?!@#$ Not so much. Crafty fail. At least we got the fun little light up candle?

While I love the idea behind the Babba Co boxes: activity, supplemental app freebies, book to supplement activity…it is a little spendy for me. We enjoyed this box but will not be renewing…I have fallen in love with a couple of others.
