The Non-Crafter's Craft Box
I have never been a crafter, so naturally seeing everyone get to work on organized, themed crafts these past couple weeks with their kids while they’re home, has gotten me a little bit stressed. I thought our days (for the most part) would be pretty routine, and not much would change — since Harry and I spend a lot of time at home anyways. Well, it turns out we do a lot more outside the home than I realized, so I ended up putting in a pretty large art supply order last week that will hopefully last us the rest of this quarantine.
I tried to pick things that could be used for many different projects, and skill building where we can. I’m not huge on structured lessons since Harry is so young still, and all his learning is through playing. We first used the box yesterday afternoon, and it was a full hour of uninterrupted play. Harry LOVED it. We built stick men, then glued them down to paper, then drew things around them, then got out ALL the supplies, and started making color piles. I think the options are unlimited, and now I’m really so happy I decided to add this to our daily routine.
While not everything has yet arrived, here are all the items I stocked up on, and the organizer bin (obviously to keep everything in order, and my sanity..):
