November (yes a little late) Crafters Crate Review

It was so busy that it took us and our little one a while to get through this awesome box, especially due to the holidays. However, In no way does my own delay in posting reflect on when this box came to me, just wanting to get that out there first. It has been a couple months since we have gotten a Crafter’s Crate box since, but but we were so excited to see it on our doorstep when it came.

What is Crafter’s Crate?

 If you have not heard about Crafter’s Crate, please take the time to review my post HERE. Rachael, the curator of Crafter's Crate, and mother of a little one as well. Rachael has designed Crafter’s Crate for little girls to not only have fun spending time crafting with the grown-ups in their life, but also to learn and gain from having fun doing these activities as well.  Each Crafters Crate includes 4-5 wonderfully thought out projects, and includes everything needed to complete that craft. The monthly cost is $19.99.

November Crafters Crate

November’s Crafter Crate was just awesome. And, we got this Crate a little late because we moved, but it was delivered in November still.  However, we did not get to dig into it until the end of November, and then the holidays…. But the theme of the November’s Crafter’s Crate was Giving Thanks. This box really spoke to me because it focused on spending time with each other, and really encouraging growth in our little one.  Since our little one is now a little older these Crafters Crate boxes are becoming so much more exciting and fun.

#1 Leaf Mobile

This Leaf Mobile was just so much fun. Our little one loved the paint. Since our little one is still young I did most of the cutting, but the finished product was fantastic. It is now January and it is still hanging up in our kitchen. The little one was pretty proud of it!

#2 Friendship Bracelet

Since our little one is still only 3, we held off on making this just yet. I think that in a couple months we are going to try and make it again. We are trying to find a part time preschool right now, so I am sure after she starts she will be making tons of friends and will appreciate this more.

#3 Family Wall Hang

This was just the best part of this box in November. I really would like to complete this as soon as possible, add a picture as well, and then hang it up in a frame. This is another activity that is just part way done on my part, and the little one cannot really get this done on her own yet. But it would be a wonderful keepsake to remember her at this age when she is older, that is why I have decided I want to incorporate a picture as well. One great thing I love about Crafters Crate is that they also incorporate how to teach your girls and to get them to really thing about things. Like for this activity Crafter Crate recommended talking to your child about things she loves about her family .

#4 Bird Feeder

Our little one loves animals, so this bird seeder was perfect. And she loves helping in the kitchen. She got to mix and add all the ingredients, and it was a great way to teach her about the 1, 2, 3 steps of making something. And, we talked all about the birds and how much they were going to love her bird seed feeder.  Even though it was cold out I have seen birds out eating on it!

TICKLED PINK OPINION

I have had nothing but a wonderfully great experience with Crafters Crate.  And our little one loves it too. I know she always is pretty excited to see a box for her (lots are for me, opps). I never can put a monetary value on a craft/learning box for children, however, I think that the convenience it brings to me, and the fun it brings to our little one is greater than any monetary value. One other great thing about Crafter Crate is that everything, I mean everything, you need to complete these projects are included in the box, and best of all  Crafters Crate also incorporates a learning tool into each project. Although Crafters Crate is geared towards girls, I do think that boys could do many of these crafts as well.  It is definitely exciting to see Crafters Crate grow, and if you have not looked yet the January Box looks to be pretty exciting… The Princess Crate!!! You can see HERE.

Pretty in Pink, Crafter's Crate May Review and Promo Code

I have to tell you that I am just loving Crafter's Crate subscription box. I have to say I think it is one of the best kids craft boxes out there right now. Crafter’s Crate has provided a fantastic box, that has given parents and their little ones the best opportunity to spend time together, craft, and have so much fun. 

If you have not heard about Crafter’s Crate, please take the time to review my post HERE. Rachael, the curator of Crafter's Crate, and mother of a little one as well, has designed Crafter’s Crate for little girls to not only have fun spending time crafting with the grown-ups in their life, but also to learn and gain from having fun doing these activities as well.

Each month Crafter’s Crate has a theme, and for May the theme was Pretty in Pink. I, as well as our little one, are loving this month’s theme and especially the pink elephant, as pink is one of our favorite colors. Our little one was so excited about digging into this months box, you will rarely see but a hand in my pictures, as she was a ball of energy and I could not get an un-blurred picture of her. 

Crafter’s Crate May Pretty in Pink Box

Parachute Power

I love activities that not only are not only fun for the whole family,  but also teach our little one something.  This Parachute, which is pink (we love pink), allowed us to teach our little one as much as we could about the science behind how the parachute floats and falls with the wind/air. Even though our little one is still little, and maybe too young to completely understand, it is never too early to teach something through doing something fun!

Pretty Purse

I loved in the Grown Up instructions how Crafter’s Crate explains how making a purse is a very valuable learning tool for our young ones.  I agree that it is never too early to teach young ones on emergency contract information, and the tool of being responsible, and this can be done by using this activity of making a purse.  We also gave our little one a piece of paper with our contact information on it, and she immediately put it in her purse, such a big girl. I was happy to share my love to purses with our little one, all while teaching her a valuable lesson as well.

Button Ring (or in our case bracelet)

Our little one is always intrigued by my jewelry. I was so happy to see that this craft was included in this month’s Crafter’s Crate, as we were able to work together to make our little one her own beautiful flower jewelry. This was great way to for her to be creative . We ended up using this kit and making a flower bracelet instead,  and it turned out fantastic.

Candy Suckers

We love cooking at our house, and our little one loves suckers. It was neat, after trying our hardest to not eat the candy before making the actual sucker, to share the activity of making our own suckers. This was a perfect activity for our little one and daddy, as they both have a sweet tooth!

Elephant Pillow

This was our favorite project out of the box.. I knew right away that our little one would be ecstatic to have a fluffy pink elephant of her own. She loves animals, loves making their sounds, loves reading about them, and loves talking about animals, and now she could make her own little pink elephant. Absolutely perfect.  We started putting this elephant together however, it has not been completed yet. This project took a little more time than our  little one had the energy and patience for at first, but it is a work in progress. I think as much as it is teaching us about animals, it is also teaching out little one about patience and not giving up on something. 

Pocketbook: This box costs $19.99 per month.  This box is so worth the price, not only do you get all the items to complete the activities and crafts, and instructions, but Crafter's Crate saves the grown up's time. Rather than taking the time to plan and design each of the activities and go buy the items, Crafter’s Crate has done this job for you.  Crafter’s Crate has created a box that allows you to spend more time with your little one.  

Tickled Pink Opinion: I am in love with Crafter’s Crate Boxes. I love the concept of not only spending the time doing these fun activities with your little one, but also focusing on teaching the little ones while doing these fun activities and crafts.  Additionally, not only is this fun for the little ones, but Crafter’s Crate is excellent for the whole family! I think I had more fun at times that our little one.

Promo Code: Right now Crafter’s Crate is offering $10 off your first box using Promo Code TICKLE at checkout.

Crafter's Crate Review And PROMO CODE

The first thing I would like to say is thank you Rachael at Crafters Crate for curating such a wonderful box for young girls. I would have thoroughly enjoyed, and would have spent hours myself with boxes like these when I was younger. Oh, what am I talking about; I thoroughly enjoyed this box now as an adult.  Our little one and I have only had this April Crafters Crate Box for a day, and we have already have had such a great time on two of the five project that we have tried so far.

What is Crafters Crate?

I think it best to tell you who is behind the Crafters Crate. Rachael is first a foremost a mother of a little girl, she is a blogger as well, and is the creator/founder/CEO of Crafters Crate.   After reading about her on the Crafters Crate website (HERE), you can see she is a passionate business woman, but also knows the importance of inspiring, teaching, motivating and influencing young girls.  With this inspiration, and her little girl at her side, she created Crafters Crate.  This box is perfect for young girls to discover and grow into more confident and creative people, and so much more. All while having a ton of fun as well. 

Each box that is shipped out each month costs $19.99, and comes with approximately 5 activity/crafts, which are focused on key learning ideals : science; craft, cook or activity.

APRIL CRAFTERS CRATE

As you can see our little one was immediately intrigued and interested by the pink elephant on the box. She loves animals so that does not surprise us at all. We immediately had to open it up and take a look. After taking some little bits of time here and there to get some pictures, we dug right in. This months theme was April Showers bring May Flowers, and the projects fit perfectly.

 I love that each activity/craft was well labeled, and had instructions. Yes, even though this is for kids, sometimes the adults may need a little 1, 2, 3 instruction as well. Each of the five kits also included tips and a list of supplies included, and other things supplies you need to complete the project with your young one.

Out of the five activities:

Magic Bubbles;

Hair Flower;

May Day Basket;

Pin Wheel; and

Cup-O-Grass

The first pick was Cup-O-Grass. The Crafters Crate even included the soil. I think a project like this is perfect for a young girl to learn responsibility of taking care of something. Yet, it also is an activity that allows a young one to learn the science behind how grass grows. As you can see we had quite a fun time decorating, planting, and watering our Cups-O-Grass. 

The next activity our little one was immediately drawn to was the Pin Wheel.  Like most the activities included in Crafters Crate, adult interaction and help was needed with this activity (cutting the paper). However, during the rest of the activity our little one was able to help with 100%.  Once we were finished putting the pinwheel together, she had by her side all afternoon long.  We were sad it was a yucky day out, but we were still able to get the wheel turning with some big breathes of our own air. Great indoor rainy day activity.

We have not had a chance to try out the other activities yet, but the Magic Bubbles will be a great activity for our little one, as she loves bubbles. We are excited to take this outside and play with the bubbles.  Side note, we have tons of bubbles left over from her birthday, and we are well equipped for this activity even though the kit came with soap to make our own bubbles.

Also looks like we have some cookie baking coming up soon, as there was a great Sugar Cookie recipe in the May Day Basket Kit. This will be a great little basket to hold on to throughout the years to remind us of the younger years, And;

The Hair Flower, I am so impressed  with all the kits in the Crafters Crate. However, this one I was so excited for. The Hair Flower kit came with all the tools to make a little headband for our little girl.  In each  Crafters Crate it includes a grown up sheet, which  give the grown ups ideas on how to tie in this activity in teaching your young girl about something. The Hair Flower kit will be a great way to teach our young one on being confident and boost her self image. We cannot wait to start this project.

Overall, I cannot give this box kudos enough. I would highly recommend Craters Crate, and I look forward to seeing more boxes in the months ahead. I know our little one cannot wait as well.  If you would like to check out Crafters Crate website and sign up you can do so HERE.

BONUS- Crafter's Crate is giving readers $10 off your first box using the Promo Code TICKLE at check out. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Until next time…
