I’m pretty crafts challenged. Sure, I browse craft projects on Pinterest but do I ever start them? No, not really.
The reasons are many. I don’t have the materials needed, I don’t know which crafts teach what or which ones are just for fun, I don’t know how to salvage them when they go horribly wrong.
But Education.com fixes all that with it’s Wonder Box. Sign up on their website and each month you get a box delivered to your door with everything you need to turn into a regular ol’ Crafty Mommy.
Each Wonder Box includes instructions and everything needed to complete 3 creative, hands-on projects that explore a theme kids love (like “Once Upon a Time or “The Mad Scientist”).
From Education.com:
- We work with our team of teachers and curriculum experts to choose activities that build critical kindergarten skills.
- Parents and kids test all the activities to make sure their fun-factors get top marks.
- We include only the highest quality materials.
- Every recipient gets access to an exclusive web page full of additional activity ideas.
- We offer a number of different subscription options and several gift packages. (Prices start at $19.99 per month)
I received my Wonder Box from Education.com and was thrilled with what we received. We got the “Once Upon A Time” box with the items you see above. How cool is that? Everything we needed for the crafts was IN THE BOX.
It had INSTRUCTIONS.
It had a THEME.
YOU COULDN’T GO WRONG.
But most of all, everything was just plain fun. My kids enjoyed it and I felt like a superhero and all I had to do was bring the box in from the porch.
Is there anything I’d quibble about? The price, perhaps. $20 a month is kind of steep. But if you think about how much work is done for you (making the trip to the store, finding age-appropriate crafts that teach the appropriate skills, etc.), it really makes sense, particularly for homeschooling parents or those who do a lot of academic work outside of school.
