Activity ideas for kids

My son looks forward to receiving his box each month and is always keen to open it and find out what theme is going to be.

The quality, creativity and attention to detail are exceptional. The products are beautifully made, thoughtfully designed and have provided so much fun for my daughter. It’s so refreshing to find something that is not only genuinely enjoyable for little ones, but also feels special and encourages their imagination and creativity.
The whole experience has been fantastic, from the beautiful products to the care and thought that clearly goes into everything My Mini Maker does. You can tell there is a real passion behind the scenes, and that makes such a difference.
We couldn’t recommend My Mini Maker highly enough.

These monthly kits are a joy. My 4 year old grandson and I absolutely love them. It’s wonderful having exactly what you need for each of the activities arrive perfectly packaged and with clear instructions and information on each of them. We open each monthly parcel with much anticipation and excitement.

i love getting these every now and again for my son especially in the holidays - he really looks forward to them especially the sensory trays

Alex had such a great time digging for buried treasure. And taking turns to hide it again, and find it again. He loved making the parrot as we'd recently been to a zoo and seen one. And now he has his own. His favourite activity from this kit was the pirate hand puppet, he was so excited and proud of himself, he wanted to take it to his grandma's to show her. Great kit and fab activities. Thankyou

We love our monthly kits. I get these for my four year old but regularly find my older teens will engage with the sensory tray. They enjoy setting them up for their little sister and it’s a lovely open invitation to play, my 15 year old commented this week that they get better and better.
The crafting activities are also perfect and a lovely easy low prep way to engage with my little one.

My little one always loves the sensory trays, we combined a couple to make a super sensory extravaganza and she loved it! She has been practicing her scissor skills with the lions mane and looking forward to doing the other activies soon.

These kits are such a great idea.
We have finished our first box, and was a hit with my 5 and 3 year old.
We can’t wait to see what comes next.

We loved setting this up and having a play, any wait for next months 😘

My daughter is 4 and loves crafting. Having everything bespoke for each activity is so needed for us mums and such an amazing idea. We did all 4 in one go and we’re loving watching the beans grow.

My daughter absolutely loves crafting and these kits make it easy and enjoyable for both of us. No faffing around for ideas or making sure I have organised all the right bits and bobs. We just open up the box and she can choose what activity she likes and everything is there and ready for you. Highly recommend

My grandchildren love the craft activities and are excited to open each new box to see the theme for the month. Everything is provided and sorted for each activity. The task cards are easy to follow. I like the flexibility of the subscription, I can skip boxes that I don't think will appeal or order more. Communication is timely and informative.

Great product overall, well put together . The bags that the rice/beans etc come in aren't very robust and I can never open them first time without damaging them, meaning I can't reuse them.

I love these activity kits I’ve wanted to start doing more sensory play / crafting at home but we have limited space and I struggle to come up with ideas so this has been a real game changer for us. really lovely 1:1 time with my son.

I have always been sceptical about monthly subscriptions, especially when it comes to children, am I going to get my money’s worth? is this just another thing targeting parents and children? My mini maker is hands down the best money I spend each month. My toddler loves these kits and asks when the next one is coming. I love the different themed kits and the work that goes on behind each activity in terms of learning and understanding for the child. I will be a customer for a long time!

These kits are put together with so much love and care. My son gets so excited when we receive them each month and the crafts are really fun for him.

Packaged and organised beautifully with everything you need. 3 year old granddaughter with a little help with the cutting absolutely loved making the sheep and greenhouse and watching the seeds germinate. She was so proud giving them to her Mum. This week we doing the rabbit and sensory tray after reading a rabbit book I bought .
I loved doing it with her .Wish they'd been about when I looked after my other grandchildren.
Fantastic product can't wait for the next one

Not really anything I couldn't get together at home but due to time constraints will collect for a year (as it's something I did for Christmas for my little one) and then will cancel subscription for sure.

I think perhaps the sensory item doesn’t have to be included every month. It could be substituted for another creative project which I find with my grand children is of much more interest.

Well worth it for fun without the hassle. My 3yo son loves these kits and we usually do one activity a week. Quite a bit of cutting involved so I do need to help a lot in some activities but he'll get the hang of it soon enough. The sensory trays are always picked first!

Have been subscribing for a few months now and both me and my 4 year old get excited for delivery day. This is amazing. Simple to follow, everything you’ll need is included and it allows great family time.
Thank you for making this unique kit - it is amazing!!

Thank you so much for making these wonderful kits. My daughter and I look forward to them arriving every single month. It is so incredibly helpful to have one of these on the shelf and to know that we have a lovely, collaborative, creative activity together after school or at the weekend. We honestly couldn't be happier. As a busy working mum, having these kits make all of the difference! Super grateful. The kits are also very thoughtfully prepared, offer a lovely way of being present whilst simultaneously allowing my daughter and I to have conversations about cultural moments and seasonal changes (as each kit tends to speak to the particular month it is in). We really love this element of it. Also the customer service is absolutely exceptional! I had a tiny issue with rice spilling out in one order and the customer service went above and beyond - instantly sending more rice and a gorgeous Halloween sticker book. THANK YOU!

I was impressed with the friendly, helpful customer service. The kit itself was ok, easy to use and had some nice things to make, but we were disappointed that the plastic zoo animals were very small and cheap looking.

Absolutely love our my mini maker kit, some aspects are a little too difficult for my 3 year old daughter but we do it all together and I can see how much her skills have improved. These kits are lots of fun and offer good variety. The only thing I would have to comment about would be the sensory tray aspect there seems to have been a lot of rice elements and would like to see something used for a change to mix it up a bit so they don’t feel so samey. All the lovely little bits with the sensory are very lovely would just like to see something other than rice as from creating my own sensory trays know there’s a great deal of choice.
Would 100% recommend anyone to purchase lovely thought out varied crafts in the making aspects

gives me inspiration for the month ahead. as a childminder it creates a great base to add to and enhance even further . it woukd be gandy to know in advance what the following months theme is but its not a necessity
