This was the first kit I’ve bought and it’s been great. Gives us something to do on a rainy day.
I bought this Halloween kit for my 2 year old. She absolutely loved the sensory Halloween tray and it kept her entertained for ages. I also have an 11 week old so it’s been a god send whilst I’ve been breastfeeding. Although she was a little small for the activities, it was a good thing that we could do together. She loved painting and sticking and I was able to cut things out and help her when she got stuck and she loved the quality time that we got to spend together doing that. I will be 100% purchasing again.
We had our first mini makers activity box which was the Halloween themed one. My little one absolutely loved the sensory tray bits and has played endlessly with this. She’s loved the different crafts too and we’ve had lots of fun making them together. Not only is it fun, but it also works key developmental skills and the instructions and explanations are so clear and well thought out! Highly recommend!
Might sound thrifty but I actually split the box. My 16 month old loves sensory play and my 5 year old loves crafts. It's perfect because they rarely have something to do together but at the same time. Usually, activities are too old for my youngest or too young for my oldest but splitting the box this way meant I got a warm cup of tea. Thanks
I'm really pleased with my first subscription. It is such good value for money! I've had so much fun with my little one. She's only one so not officially old enough, but I've adapted the activities so they are suitable for her and she's enjoyed crafting along with me. I'm looking forward to developing her skills with these packs as she gets older and can start making things independently and I can't wait for our next box!
Great variety of activities that keep young children engaged! Definitely recommend
Both my kids (3 and 5) loved their kit! They did all the crafts and it was a lovely break from screens for us all.
Fantastic! Both my children (5&7) loved it! Have recommended to a friend already!
We love my mini maker. Daughter gets so excited when it comes through the post and generally asks when the next one is coming. Really fun arts and crafts
I am currently unable to do much with my children due to a sports injury that has left me in debilitating pain & I have started doing arts and crafts with my children to ensure we stay connected..this box is fabulous, gives us something to do over different days and gets us talking and working together 💖 it's fabulous & I don't have to think of the activity 😂 winner winner!
I’ve been getting these boxes for a year now . I started out with just one for my neurodivergent sensory seeking child . But after watching all the fun her sister was having my second daughter wanted in on all the fun . I now have a sibling package and the girls absolutely love it .
On a wet weekend when no one can get outside it’s so great to reach for the box and get crafting . Every box has been brilliant and has kept my children happy and entertained for hours . It brings the kids together and stops the arguing while they help each other through the tough bits. It’s wonderful to see the fun they are having .
The box is full of quality products and clear instructions . We just love it . Thankyou guys for the Break that “my mini maker “ gives me.
Highly recommended and will be returning for a long while yet .
I'm disabled and struggle to find things to do with my daughter which don't require lots of upright movement, leaving the house or planning things by myself which are things I really struggle with at the moment. These kits are amazing because the materials and instructions are already there and ready to use. We do one craft or sensory tray a week and my 5 year old daughter loves it and gets so excited when I suggest we do a craft. She also enjoys playing creatively with the sensory kits and we keep the latest 4 on rotation in boxes and she goes back to play with them from time to time.
My son is not yet 3 yo but he absolutely loved making the craft set which included Halloween wreath, broomsticks and spiderweb.
As always he loves his sensory tray which he does every month.
As well as giving a calm playtime he is also learning dexterity and new words due to the colours, shapes and items included. We also use the foam stickers every month to decorate our tray once we are done
My 5 year old daughter absolutely loves these kits! She is able to make most of it on her own too :) my 3 year old son also enjoys engaging with the sensory tray bits. Love them!
We only just received our first one but the kit was so beautifully put together and we've already done three of the activities. One of which was an autumnal sensory bowl and my son wants to play with it every day. Really beautiful products, carefully packaged and a lot of care put into them. Instructions are really easy to follow as well and most of what you need is inside the box. Can't wait for the next one. Thanks
Absolutely fantastic box, the children were excited and engaged well in all the craft, the messy play is the perfect amount for our trays
It's definitely worth it for the chick peas, etc. Not so much for the rice. I now have more yellow rice than i ever thought i would have and much more than we need really with it having come in a few boxes now!
This most recent one had grass to cut out for under the mushrooms which was difficult for me to cut out, and i'm almost 40, so it was definitely pitched above the children's level.
Generally, these kits are great value for time-poor families who can afford someone else to curate the activities and parts. As my youngest gets older, we will move toward more of our own assembly at home using books for the ideas, but for now, these being grab and go is great
I'm so glad I signed up for this. I was initially hesitant, but having all the work of thinking of the activities, and having each one ready to go, with simple instructions and each activity seperated in a little bag is so worth it. My three year old boy has loved every single craft, and they've been so fun to do together! I wasn't sure how interested he'd be with the sensory trays but I was pleasantly surprised at how long he played with them, especially when I added a scoop and cup. The themes each month are cute and fun, and you can really tell how much thought has gone into each box.
My two love it. And I love the fact it’s ready for them to used and causes minimal mess! Over ordered three extra packs as they loved it so much.
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
