Whether you're planning to ease out of quarantine this summer or not, there will come the inevitable moment in every parents' life of trying to find new ways to keep kids entertained. It can be a challenge to stay on top of keeping playtime fresh, fun, and educational when you're being pulled in multiple directions, and that's where activity boxes for kids come in to save the day. 

Not only can they take the guesswork out of playtime, but many like our Craft Club subscription boxes are curated to nurture creative learning and development in little ones. 

Benefits Of A Craft Subscription For Kids

Playtime should be the prime time for littles to explore their imagination and create without limits. Limitless creativity is the catalyst for kids to discover things that build the confidence and independence that support their development as tiny humans. The list goes on and on, but here are our core benefits of why creative learning and development is so important:

• Emotional Development: Creativity allows littles to express and understand the many emotions that they experience. Imaginative play or "make-believe" is a great way to see emotional development play out in real-time. 

• Social Development: Interacting with siblings, friends, or classmates has a lasting impact on a child's ability to navigate social settings. It will help give them better tools to communicate, process the actions of others, and establish their individuality. 

• Physical Development: Sensory, motor skills, hand-eye coordination are just a few of the physical skills nurtured by creativity. 

• Intellectual Development: Creative play opens up the world around kids. They can start to connect the dots between words and objects, feelings and images, or even problems and solutions.

A Peek Inside Our Subscription Boxes For Kids

Craft Club was born from our belief that creating shouldn't have limits, making a partnership with process art (going with the flow of creating) enthusiast Meri Cherry a no-brainer. Through our collaboration, she curates open-ended arts and crafts activities that celebrate and challenge every kid's imagination. Each box is designed to fit the developmental needs of kiddos as young as six and beyond. 

So, what's inside? Tips, tricks, and of course, tons of high-quality arts and crafts supplies for each activity. Oh, and you'd want to hold onto the boxes, they make for great storage to keep up with all of the goodies inside, and if your little is feeling extra creative, they can always color it in! 

Here's a sneak peek into what kids can look forward to every month with Craft Club. 

Box 1: Diorama House

The first box is jam-packed with a variety of craft supplies for kiddos to create the home of their dreams. Inside they'll find fun prints that can be used as wallpaper, beads that can be transformed into funky chandeliers, wooden pieces that can be turned into little peg people, and so much more. 

Box 2: Pom Pom and Tassel Crafts

These classic crafts are elevated in our second Craft Club box. Meri Cherry provides a guide covering the basics of creating pom poms and tassels that can lead to kids taking a shot at more intricate creations like dolls and mobiles. 

Box 3: Crazy Contraptions

The Crazy Contraptions box is where creativity and STEM come together to create a fun activity for little ones to express themselves while also learning invaluable skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication. It's jam-packed with materials they can use to dream up a cool (or crazy) invention. 

Box 4: Jewelry Making

The Jewelry Making craft box is for the kid who insists on dressing themselves and never misses a moment to accessorize. Stocked with over two hundred pieces, kids can look forward to endless opportunities to make whatever their little heart desires and hours upon hours of fun. 

Box 5: Clipboard Collage

If there is any piece of art that says, "just go with the flow," it's a collage. The Clipboard Collage box encourages your little to create without boundaries. Cherry included some tips and tricks on how to bring any creation they're dreaming up to life.

Box 6: Small Worlds

Kids will light up when they get this box in the mail! The Small Worlds box is perfect for creating their very own planet using clay, fuzzy sticks, beads, and more. They'll even have the option to make a cool treasure box that can house little gems for their next creation.

Box 7: Felting

Meri Cherry shines a light on the versatility of felt with box number seven. Kids will get a chance to explore wet felting that can lead to the creation of keychains, necklaces, and even hairpins.

Box 8: Beaded Mobiles

Box eight proves how accessible creating beautiful mobiles can be. No matter if your kiddo is a beginner or more of a skilled crafter, this box will expose them to three techniques that'll encourage them to master the art of mobiles. 

Box 9: Painting

Painting will forever be a great way to express ideas and even feelings, and this box is designed to inspire littles to do just that and more. Inside, your kid will discover painting essentials along with frames, a pencil, a little mirror, and a blindfold, all to encourage kids to try different drawing and painting techniques.

Creativity is where self-expression roams free, which opens up many opportunities for little ones to develop invaluable skills that will last long after the need for playdates. Through subscription boxes for kids that focus on creative development, you can feel confident that your kid's imagination is being nurtured in ways that will help them be the best little humans that they can be.
