The boys love getting these type of craft/activity boxes. The box was full and it looked like there was a lot to do from the first look!
The theme for June is "Surfaces" and encourages children to explore a variety of different surfaces with this box.
The info pamphlet gives you several imagination activity ideas for kids to do.
The supplies:
- Paper Straws
- Rainbow Lace
- Wooden Frame Chalkboard
- Coloured Chalk
- Glue
- Porcelain Tiles
- Stamp Pad
- White Envelopes & Cards
- Elmer's Project Popperz ColorSlicks (Purple & Yellow)
- Chalksters Liquid Chalk Marker
- Stampers
- Assortment of Papers & Plastic Transparencies
We got out all the supplies and let the boys create whatever they wanted. We tried out the Chalksters Liquid Chalk Marker first since they've never used them before and they loved getting to draw on the windows! You can use them to draw on various non-porous surfaces, such as mirrors/glass, metal. dry erase boards, ceramics, and plastic. Despite the name, they will not wipe off once applied to the chalkboard. I think we'll have to get more of them, they're great!
Then they decided to decorate the chalkboard by gluing on cut up pieces of straws, make a necklace out of the straws, and they made pictures and cards gluing on the porcelain tiles and drawing with the ColorSlicks. We still have plenty of materials left over to do more crafts, so they'll be busy for a while.
Overall I thought this was a great box with many fun activities for them to do! I didn't do a total box value, but considering everything you get $24 seems like a fair price. If you go with the longer plan, $19/month is an even better deal! Definitely a fun and creative box for kids!
