Fun Earth Friendly Crafts with Green Kid Crafts

14 Comments / Food/Recipes, Toddler / By / December 7, 2012 / , , ,

I had the chance to try out a Green Kid Crafts Discovery Box and the first thing that got my attention when I opened it was just how much was included. I received the November Discovery Box, and their was not only 1 or 2 projects, but 4! Truth be told we’ve had the box for well over a month and haven’t completed everything yet. Two of the crafts include growing organic basil and alfalfa sprout gardens – we planted our basil and my son marvels at it everyday, watering it very carefully. We also created the fish game (from recycled felt) which has provided endless hours of fun. We’ve decided to hold off on making the rainbow tile coasters as this will be a perfect craft to do at Christmas time.

I would definitely consider buying a subscription again, as the past boxes look really creative and the monthly $19.95 subscription is definitely good value. You can check out some of their “best of” Discovery boxes on sale here and buy a one-off box for the holidays, as a gift or to take with you over the holidays. These are great crafts, with a mix of fun and learning opportunities.

For this “Food Adventure” themed box with crafts celebrating healthy eating, Green Kid Crafts partnered with Purple Asparagus, a nonprofit educating children, families and the community about eating that’s good for the body and the planet.

In addition, Green Kid Crafts partnered with Mambo Sprouts and some of their favorite (and mine!) natural food companies like Annie’s, Stonyfield, Mary‘s Gone Crackers and Immaculate Baking to include samples and exclusive coupons for free healthy snacks — a $20+ value! Annie’s cheesy snack bunnies went down a treat!

So excited, I wasn't able to get him to stand still with his basil

Every month’s Discovery Box is packed with three unique and engaging activity kits designed to foster a child’s creativity and confidence while developing their respect and love for the environment.

    I like the sprouts idea, because its very low maintenance which is great to teach kids and they are healthy and fresh to eat too! There isn’t a whole lot of fresh greens you can grow in the winter- sprouts are perfect for that!
