Green Kids Crafts- October 2013

We have a 3 month subscription to Green Kids Crafts and this was our first month!  They had a sale last month that you could get the box for $15.00 a month so we decided to try it.  :)  We do lots of crafts at our "school" time that we have so you can never have to many craft boxes!  :)


This months theme was Rainforest.  :)  I forgot to take a picture of the whole box...  :/


Here is Eli ready to make his rainforest animals!























This was fun!  Eli loved the bird!  :)



That is his bird face.  lol


Here we are making a Rainforest Theater.  :)


And here is the theater!  :)  Eli put on a show with the animals.  :)

There was another craft...  It was a rainforest pocket book.  But Eli made it into a Butterfly book.  lol.  :)

This is a good box.  Lots of crafts and green items.  :)  We will see how next months box is!  :)

Kiwi Crate October 2013 (Glowing Animals)

Kiwi Crate is our new LOVE!  This is the second month that we have recieved Kiwi Crate and we have been blown out of the water with each month!  :)  They send you 2-3 art projects a month with everything that you need to do the projects (glue, stickers, crayons, markers, etc) and they usually send an extra project with some of the supplies too!  Each project comes with detailed instructions.  Eli can make each project with help (he is almost 4) so older kids might be able to do it themselves.  :)

This months crate was about Glowing Animals...


 
 
 



Our first project was the Racing Jellyfish...


Eli loves to race them and see who will win each time!  I love that it's interactive and makes him think!  :)


Next up was making a Glowworm Friend.


Meet Yoda, Eli's Glowworm!  :)  Super easy to make and fun to sleep with!


The bonus project was making a Glow Stick FireFly!  :)  Another fun glowing animal!

Cost: $19.99
Value: PRICELESS!  So much fun with my son!  Makes him think and create and it helps me help him learn!  :)
