Green Kid Craft Box Review - Hobbies On A Budget

Green Kid Craft Box Review

My kids love to make crafts. Recently we received a Green Kid Craft Box in the mail with all the supplies needed to make 3 fun eco-friendly crafts. My kids were ready to get started making a mess and creating some crafty treasures with the Ocean Discovery Craft Box.

Green Kid Craft Box Review

This is a monthly program you can join that will deliver a craft box in your mailbox each month. Everything you need to complete three craft projects is included in the box. What I loved about this craft box is the variety of craft ideas. Pin the Tail on the Whale was easy, not messy and doable for my 6 year old with very limited help from me.

The Coral Reef Postcard project was messy, fun and challenging for my 8 year old. It gave her a chance to experiment with paint and soap. We didn?t think blowing soap bubbles in paint would really achieve the look we were after, but we were thrilled with the result. We had so much fun that I completely forgot to take a picture of the finished product. If you blow bubbles in the paint and then pop them with the cards, the bubbles will end up drying up and leaving really cool colored bubble shapes on the card. This was one really cool experiment.

The third craft was a set of pastel crayons and a sailboat. My 10 year old son absolutely loves these pastels. He has claimed them for his drawing projects.

Which of these three crafts is your favorite? Have you ever received a craft box in the mail? Would you like to have crafts sent to you each month so you didn?t have to go out and buy the supplies?

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
