If you are like me, you might be scrambling to think of good quality gift ideas right about now. You don’t only need to find presents your kids and husband but possibly your neighbors, friends, parents, your nieces & nephews… maybe even cousins, aunts & uncles, therapists, coaches, teachers…hmmm… who did I forget? Finding the right gift shouldn’t be so difficult, right? I recently discovered a company which I think might take some of the stress out of holiday shopping.
The company is Green Kid Crafts. It is a subscription service for children and offers a wide variety of products. Do you have a science loving kid? They have STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) Subscriptions. How about an artsy-craftsy little one? Got that too – just look at the Creativity Art Box or the Legends & Folklore. You can choose from the subscription gift box or a one time purchase of a specific themed box.
My kids were thrilled when we recently received our box which was one of the Holidays Around the World Box. Containing six crafts, each one wrapped in its own small plastic bag, it came complete with info about the project and the country. The written instructions even include pictures to assist the kids who are making the craft.
The crafts were both easy for the kids to do and fun for them to play with afterward. They were able to learn a small nugget of information about the country and how the citizens of that country celebrate their holiday.
The box includes a full-color map of the world AND a recipe book which includes a recipe for each of the countries represented in the box. My 8-year-old daughter was thrilled to see the recipes. She loves cooking and baking anything yummy and new!
The kids enjoyed their projects – even my 3 & 4-year-old decided to participate. My daughter made her own African mask and decorative tea-lights. My son chose the Chinese kite project and had fun flying his kit around after he made it. He also helped my 4-year-old make the little Indian tea-lights.
After we were finished, we took a look at Green Kid Crafts website, my 8-year-old daughter told me she loves the gift making kit. My 10-year-old is excited about the robot kit and volcano kit. I think my 3.5 & almost 5-year old would love the Legends & Folklore box, too.
As a homeschooling mom, I personally LOVE the idea of having the subscription science kit coming once a month which will not only entertain my kids but help them better understand science, engineering, and math! I also love that this is a gift that is consumable. It is the winner of multiple awards – including Dr. Toy’s Best Green Products of 2013, PTPA Seal of Approval, a recommendation from Parents’ Choice, MACT Excellence and MACT Green Awards and Red Tricycle’s Award for Most Awesome Subscription Service. The boxes are available in individual Discovery Boxes, birthday party activities and favors along with the subscriptions which are month-to-month, 3, 6 and 12 month durations! The website is easy to navigate and you can even add on siblings to your subscription!
With it being consumable, unlike typical toys, it will not take up a huge amount of space in my home. This gift is educational, consumable, made from sustainable and recyclable materials, and is a wonderful addition to any home.
This is the gift that will truly last the whole year through! You can’t go wrong with Green Kid Crafts to complete your holiday gift giving this year! Use code AD25 to save 25% off your order.

My grandson’s year long cooking box subscription ends in 2 months and he will be done with the entire program. I’ve been thinking about what to get him next because he loves getting packages in the mail. This crafts box looks like a great one.
