What do your kids use when they do their arts and crafts? Recently we tried Green Kid Crafts and had an amazing time making wonderful crafts all with green products that came delivered to us in the mail. We had the Green Kid Crafts Ocean Craft box.
Here is more information about Green Kid Crafts as quoted from their website………

I have worked with and help promote numerous Green Companies and Products in the past and I have to say that Green Kid Crafts has my full support. I love the fact that the box of crafts is theme oriented each month, that everything needed for the craft is provided, and that the products are green. I really love that through their initiative to leave a better carbon footprint through their Green Kid Crafts boxes, that they are also giving back to different organizations.
The recommended age rating for the Green Kid Crafts boxes is age 3 to 8. I agree with the age ranking based on the Ocean Box that I have used with my soon to be 6 year old. It is a great arts and crafts project that my youngest loved especially with the help of mom.
My little one was truly excited from the moment the little brown box arrived and she opened it up and saw what was inside. She really loves doing arts and crafts.
Recently, Green Kid Crafts won the Parent Tested Parent Approved Award. A big congratulations to Green Kid Crafts, it is well deserved.
