Peaceable Kingdom Sticker Kits & Activities ~ Review & Giveaway

Whether it's for birthdays, stocking stuffers, or toys and activities to do on the go...I'm always looking for great products I know my kids will love. When it comes to things like this and "just because" treats, I am looking for fun and affordability. Thankfully, Peaceable Kingdom has just what I have been looking for!

What began in 1983 as a company with a single product (a poster featuring art from the classic children's book Goodnight Moon) has since grown to include more than 5,000 items. Peaceable Kingdom is now a leader in juvenile stickers, greeting cards and games. With a mission to "make good, do good, and be good"... they are dedicated to the following:

• we create fresh, fun, award-winning products that educate, inspire, and tickle funny bones
• we donate frequently to charitable organizations that support the well-being of children
• we are committed to working only with socially-conscious manufacturers
• we use sustainable and eco-friendly materials like FSC and recycled papers, soy-based inks, and corn-based plastics whenever we can
• we maintain integrity in all business relationships
• we have fun while we work!

I was introduced to Peaceable Kingdom and their fantastic children's products a few months ago. Having had the opportunity to review a product from them and being very impressed with the fun, quality and educational value...I was excited to learn more about their new Quick Sticker Kits, Reusable Sticker Totes, Color Me Stickers and Scratch & Sniff Stickers that are all under $10 (with most under $5) and go way beyond an average sheet of stickers.

Peaceable Kingdom sent us a variety of samples to review and I had a feeling they would be right up Kaelyn's alley. I was right! When the sticker kits arrived, Kaelyn couldn't wait to check them out.

We were sent The Sparkly Critter Purses Kit, Lunch Munch! kit, and a few of the scratch and sniff sticker packs!

Kaelyn was immediately drawn to the Sparkly Critter Purses Kit and was begging to try them out. Of course, I couldn't say no. I was just as curious to see what these cute "decorate & play" kits had to offer.

Upon opening the box, we found 3 pop-open purses and 88 adorable glitter stickers. They are so cute! Simply pop open and decorate the three animal shaped paper purses. It's really that easy! Recommended for ages 3+, it's really perfect for Kaelyn's age. She has had a great time placing the stickers and making her own creations.

What I love most is that she's not only working on her fine motor skills, but also creating something that she will then be able to use again and again. I can't tell you how many times I've found her carrying around one of these cute purses as she plays dress-up. They are perfect for the preschool age!

Kaden even enjoys it...
As I mentioned, we were also sent the Lunch Munch sticker kit. This allows children to create an appetizing meal with 90 different food-related stickers included. The four lunch-themed scnes are a fruit bowl, paper hamburger container, pizza and banana split dish.

I love that everything needed comes in one kit. Not just that, but it's it's been so fun watching Kaelyn as she matches up the foods to the different lunch-themed scenes. With it being so open-ended she is able to make a fruit pizza if she wants, or even put some ice cream on her pizza. The sky is the limit and I've enjoyed watching her creativity shine.

One of my favorite features of this set is that the sheets contain reusable vinyl cling stickers. That means the fun does not have to end. She has already enjoyed much time playing with this fun sticker set, and I'm sure will be pulling it out to play with frequently as the weeks and months go on.
Peaceful Kingdom has also perfected Scratch & Sniff stickers with smells that aren't overpowering or sickly sweet. Kaelyn and I sit down and do all kinds of activities together. One of her favorite things to do is put stickers in patterns or create a picture with them. Having stickers like the the scratch & sniff ones we received from Peaceable Kingdom have made learning and doing these types of activities that much more fun! I mean, who wouldn't like stickers that smell like popcorn, pizza and Tutti Fruitti?! Yum! Each set of the Scratch & Sniff stickers comes with many stickers...way more than you'd find with a single sheet of stickers. Not to mention that they're SO much more fun!

Having had the opportunity to check out a few of the great sticker kits and activities from Peaceable Kingdom, I can tell you that we'll definitely be turning back to them for more fun as the months go by. At under $10 (and many under $5), sticker kits and projects from Peaceable Kingdom are pleasantly affordable and provide hours of creative play! I would highly recommend checking them out to any parent with young children.
