THE WHAT: www.craftcaravan.com
THE HOW: This Canadian company knows kids love crafts and caregivers love providing craft moments. Order on-line and have the craft supplies (and instructions) mailed. This is a great idea for gifts from family as we all know kids LOVE getting mail.
Colourful craft kits come in themes of birthday cards, scrapbooking, anytime cards and more.
The Craft Caravan Craft Club offers a monthly craft mailed directly to your little crafter. We test drove the October craft kit – where the kids did a make your own wreath. It was opened ended fun.
You can also purchase craft supplies like newspaper pencils, recycled crayons and homemade play dough – all of which are great gifts to have in the present closet.
Age appropriate for pre-school to young school age.
I just cleaned up our art supplies and found a number of unopened envelopes from our subscription. The kids were excited to get them the first few months but the types of crafts and the supplies were very repetitive. Unfortunately, I couldn’t interest them in the last few crafts and did not renew the subscription. Save your money! This was not good value for the price.
