Most afternoons turn into a play date with friends but some days it’s nice to come home and take it easy. When we aren’t having a play date with friends my oldest likes to sit at the table and do some kind of art project. Usually, she just pulls out her crayons and colors because I am in the process of getting dinner together and don’t want to pull out a million art supplies. Green Kid Crafts, an eco-friendly company that designs creative activities to do with kids through art boxes that spark creativity, build confidence, and cultivate respect and love for the environment. Discovery boxes are filled with supplies and instructions for hands-on learning, making afternoon crafts easier. We recently received a sample of the Around the World II discovery Kit. The kit included materials to make:
A Chinese Hand Kite that really flies
Guatemalan Worry Dolls and a Worry Box
Aboriginal Rock Art from Australia
I LOVED this box because it teaches about other parts of the world. The instruction cards for each project also explain the history behind the culture and the traditions. My daughter,5, had a lot of fun making the projects but needed help on the activities. She loved learning about the different cultures. Her best friend was in Australia at the time and was excited to tell her about the rock art when she returned. Her cousin was adopted from Guatemala. She wants to ask him if he ever received a worry doll. After the Chinese hand kite was complete, her and her sister ran around the apartment trying to fly it for luck. A passport is also included in the box. After visiting each county, my daughter was so excited to stamp her passport. This Holiday I will be purchasing the Around the World I which includes projects from Japan, India, and Africa!
