Hi,
If you have not yet seen my post on Craft kit for kids, take a look here.
Well, It interested me so much that I decided to make such a kit. Something that had been in my heart for a long time.
The objective of the creative kit is not to make a super final product but, to enjoy the process with your kids.
There were various reasons why I thought this kit would be useful to kids and parents. Here are some of them.
Reasons:
1) When we have toddlers at home and the school has not started, that is the period when we spend maximum time with them. What better way than to spend some quality time with them doing some creative activities. Simple, easy and quick activities.
2) For parents who think they are not creative, I would like to stress that everyone and I mean everyone, can be creative. The more crafts and art activities you do with your kids, the better we get in our levels of creativity. The fun is in making something, anything and enjoying doing it.
3) Older children have projects in school. It would be useful to have a craft kit. A ready kit that they can use for keeping their craft materials in one place.
4) Many of these items are not available in local stationery stores. One has to go to a craft store to buy them and then you have to buy a whole packet for each material.
5) Many moms and kids want to sample the different craft materials in order to decide if it is useful for their mutual projects before they buy it in bulk from a craft shop.
6) Kids in the age group of 4-7 years love to create something on their own. The kit not only provides them with materials but, ideas with instructions. I personally believe craft is not limited to any age. For younger kids however, the parents would be needed to guide.
7) For crafters who already have these materials, it would not be useful but, it would make a very nice gift. The crafters would especially know the use of the materials and the value of the materials.
8) I have come across many craft kits available today which are more expensive but, offer only one or two specific activities. With “My craft kit” you could make around twenty activities. Do like our Facebook page because, we keep sharing lovely activities also from other awesome bloggers.
9) The kit is travel friendly and can be carried with you, even on holidays.

This is awesome!! You’ve included every crafting essential!! It’s perfect to stock up for the vacation, especially in places where patterned paper or chenille stems are not available that easily! Not to mention that it makes a great gift!!
Thanks Fabida. I am so glad that you liked it.
This is a fantastic gift for any child, Poornima. It is so comprehensive and all the items in the kit are hgh on quality too. The note which has details of the activities and things that can be made with this kit will compel a non-artistic person like me to try it too. Will share this with my friends too.
