I have admitted in the past that I am not the craftiest mom. Plus like most parents I am busy keeping up with many of life’s offerings. I try to keep up with my boys, giving them materials with which to explore and to create. I try to get them outdoors to further build their sense of awe and wonder of the natural world. Let be honest, though, time is often of the essence and I often run out of it. That is why I always have a quick and easy project to pull from our cabinet. It could be a rainy day. It could be the last day of summer vacation and I am burnt out. It could be because I am just not feeling up to pulling materials together.

We were fortunate to be able to review the “Ultimate Box of Projects” that including 30 activities and crafts. My sons had a wonderful time putting these projects together. My boys were thrilled to explore the box of projects. It comes with a handy guide too so the boys could take a look and choose their project.

A few examples of projects included in the Ultimate Box:
