I am a working mother who values spending quality time with my child. As my child grows, I seek more ideas to keep them engaged and interested. My monthly subscription to this kit has been beneficial. Now, we do not have to plan our playtime at home, as it varies each month and maintains my child's interest.
love these kits that contain everything you need except child friendy (safe)scissors
We have just received our parcel of some play kits and my children have jumped straight in to play! I bought these for ease as I am a teacher and after spending my summer planning and resourcing my own classes play based work I wanted something easy for my children to enjoy- without the need to dye my own rice/pasta ect.
I would say the play sets are good, and worth it if you are maybe are starting out with setting up messy type play activities. I did find them a little basic, especially for the amount of money they are with no pouring type equipment of organising equipment included (we have had other potion type kits before that have included everything needed to explore the activity). They have the basis for the set with dyed rice and chick peas and some smaller items to encourage extended play opportunities and fine motor skills. My 2.5 year old loved the bee kit and spent ages exploring, my 4 year old was less keen with the fairy set but once we added our own little figures this kept her interested for a bit longer. I have ended up printing some extender ideas from the internet to stretch my daughter’s interest a bit more too.
So overall, a nice set and perfect to begin building any messy play/continous provision type activities for your children at home. Some further exploration, basic equipment and maybe some suggested play set up ideas would make these kits even better!
We had great fun and hours of play with the grandchildren hunting for treasure, pouring, filling and emptying pots of rice and corn. The extra bits eg fish, jems, gold and tweezers made for a fun filled play and learning experience. We added a few extra from our own resources the first day but on the second day we just used the resources provided and had just as much fun
A brilliant set that is a classic kids theme but allows a mix of play from sealife to treasure hunts
Always amazing, first class service! The crafts are brilliant and creative - we both enjoy making them so much and keep us busy for hours 😃 We are very happy with our monthly subscription and the customer service is brilliant.
My daughter loved this theme, made the items first then used them all in the sensory box (the box it’s posted in is perfect size). Could have done with some more decoration for wand, ended up using some of our own ones.
Second box, my 3yr old loves the activities, they keep him entertained for a bit and he likes seeing the end result, the only problem we have it persuading him not to do them all at once! We're also both a little bit impatient about waiting for paint and glue to dry 🤣
I bought the Fairy Activity set as a gift and from what I’ve seen, it looks like a quality set with everything that you’ll need to complete the activities. I’m sure it will be well received!
The only reason for the 4 stars is, because it’s bought as a gift and the packaging label was stuck on top of the box which contains the kit. I managed to carefully remove the label, but it was still sticky. Absolutely fine if you bought it for your own little ones, but not as a gift.
The sensory tray shown in the main promotion pictures must be using double base, as this is the only way I manage to get anywhere near as much depth for the little drawers I use for my girls.
An essential add on for the sibling box in my opinion
We love this subscription, it’s worth very penny. My son appreciates them so much and the quality time we spend making each one. So much learning too. Really well thought out kits that also support my parenting. Absolutely fabulous!!
My 3 year old love the kit especially the sensory box ideas and played for ages with it. She liked the crafts as well.
I love these kits as they contain everything you need and I don’t need to search the web for inspiration. Me and my 5 year old love making the crafts together.
So impressed. My daughter is not quite three yet but really engages with the stuff and enjoys making all the crafts! Such lovely activities to do together.
My 3yr old boy loved all the makes, clear instructions easy quick things to hold his attention
My 6 years old daughter loves this box. She did all the crafts in one go and had so much fun. She still needed help with the instructions which I didn't mind at all as I enjoyed making these as much as she did! Easy to follow instructions, and I love that everything is provided, saves a lots of hassle.
We can't wait the next month's box! 😊
Great products to use for quick grab crafts with kids. Have had to supplement the base in the sensory trays, but the company were able to supply these and upgrade my subscription to include these for future.
The loss of 1 star is for the misleading photos - i would prefer it made plain that there was extra base in the photos.
These kits are amazing if you want everything that you need for your child to make something they’ll love. I don’t have to think about buying extra items or what to make as it’s all done for you. There’s also the added bonus of the play tray activity. I’m so glad I signed up to these.
Purchased this for my grandson and had it sent to my daughter’s house. She said he absolutely loved it (and this is a child who never sits still so crafts seldom do it for him) but he was very engaged with the Iion activity. She also said it was great that you could split the crafts up so you had 4 separate activities rather than feeling like you had to complete in 1 session. Loved by all it seems!
My grandchild enjoyed her monthly activity packs.
