Kids Crafts Just Got Easy with KiwiCrate.com

Despite the fact that I’m not the craftiest of Moms, my kids love to do crafts.  I’m always looking for cute, easy and cheap crafts options when I’m at Michael’s or AC Moore.  And while I try and keep it affordable, I always seem to spend $30+ every time I walk into Michael’s or any other local craft store.  Who’s with me?

Love this new craft option for kids with KiwiCrate.com.  For $19.95 plus free shipping, you can get a shipment of two crafts for your kids.  Each box comes complete with everything you need for your children for the craft – paper products, instructions, scissors and whatever else you may need.  Each box is geared at kids ages 3-6 (although as you can see from the photos, my almost-8 year old was doing these with his 5-year-old brother and having a grand old time).

Our box contained spinning tops and paper to draw additional spinning tops which was neat.  The kids had a blast making fun creations that looked totally different once they spun the tops:

After the tops, we worked on our framed stained glass creations. My boys LOVED this, it was really easy and clean up was a breeze!

Sign up for monthly shipments or for one box only as a gift at KiwiCrate.com. (Love this for a gift to send the grandkids from some grandparents!) Each month is different so you’ll never get a dup!

Kidzsack: An awesome, reusable, eco-friendly craft activity

kidzsackMy kids love having fun, creative activities to do. So when we were sent a Kidzsack, they were thrilled and so was I! Kidzsack is an eco-friendly backpack that comes with 8 washable, non-toxic markers which makes it a perfect reusable arts and crafts activity.

Here’s how you create with Kidzsack: your child colors the backpack with the included markers, then uses the bag for whatever they want (great for carrying around all sorts of stuff) and then when they want to color it again, just pop it in the wash and start again! How neat is that?!! It’s also made from 100% recycled fabric, made by combining recovered 100% cotton scraps and recycled polyester made from plastic soda bottles. Even the straps are made from natural fibers! Keeping my kids occupied and happy while waiting anywhere is always a chore, but I’ve been whipping out the Kidzsack and they have been so excited to color on their backpack! I’ve even brought it out at home when they are trying to interrupt me when I am on the phone. It keeps them busy for a while and they love coloring on it! The Kidzsack is offered in several different fun screen prints for coloring.

A 2009 Dr. Toy Winner, this cinch sack is made in the USA and is a high quality, multifunctional, and durable bag that kids will love to grab on the go! Perfect for keeping a sibling occupied and happy at their older sister or brothers sporting game, purchase a Kidzsack and bring it along!
