Summer is the perfect time to get crafty. Crafting together over the long holiday is a great way to spend quality time bonding with your kids and the perfect way for them to learn through play even after school’s out.
Parents are often concerned that the summer holiday leads to a “summer slide” where kids forget some of what they learned over the previous school year. Fortunately, crafting with your child this summer helps them to continue developing their fine motor skills, ability to identify shapes and colours and their general understanding of the world around them.
In addition, crafting is just plain fun! According to a study conducted by toucanBox, eight in ten of 556 parents said that their child’s mental wellbeing is their top concern. Through arts and crafts children express their creativity and their feelings, boosting their mental health.
So if you’re looking for educational, screen-free fun to keep your kids busy this summer, we highly recommend you get crafting!
The Branch & Bloom Nature Loom and Mini Greenhouse crafts from toucanBox are a great place to start. Both crafts encourage your child to discover the natural world around them, whether they’re sowing and growing seeds in their very own personalised planter or getting creative with garden materials to make an artistic nature loom display.
Both crafts, plus an activity magazine and stickers, are delivered through the letterbox with absolutely all materials included. So whether you’re getting out in the garden or travelling somewhere new, toucanBox is easy to pack up and take with you for fail-safe family fun.
toucanBox is a flexible subscription encouraging crafting, creativity and learning in children aged 3-8.
