Creativity For Kids Review and Giveaway

I am always looking for new and fun things Kaelyn and I can do together that encourage learning and creativity. I think a bit of this comes from my past work as a Preschool Teacher....but more than anything...like any parent, I just enjoy seeing her learn and having fun while she's doing it! Although young, she is learning constantly. Whether it be through the books she reads, the children programs she watches, or interaction with kids and adults...I can always see that she's learning something new! It's one of the most amazing things to witness as a parent!

I was recently given the opportunity to review one of the craft kits from Creativity For Kids and was thrilled to do so! Their mission as found on their website is: To provide children with experiences that stimulate and encourage their natural creativity. Our open-ended products offer fun-filled opportunities for children to create, pretend, explore and learn! I found this statement to be very true of their products as we reviewed the Make Your Own Animal Puppets kit. I liked how the kit made it possible for kids to be creative. There wasn't a specific way you had to do something....in fact, there weren't even directions. It gives children the opportunity create and explore in a way which is meaningful to them.

The Make Your Own Animal Puppets kit comes with three socks (to be made into animal puppets). There were also felt shapes, fur, pom poms, yarn, and wiggly eyes as well. Using these materials....a child can create any animal they want. They show examples on the box of a shark, cow, pig, etc....but the choices are endless with a little imagination! This kit is made for children 3 years of age and older because of the small parts. I found that although Kaelyn is younger than that...she still enjoyed it immensely...with adult supervision of course since there are small parts! It was a great sensory and fine motor experience for her....and a wonderful opportunity for her to become more familiar with different animals and colors as well! We had so much fun! Another great thing about this kit was that no glue was needed! It wasn't messy at all....so clean up was a breeze!
