Holiday Gift Guide ~ Maria Palito Sewing Kits {+ Free Shipping Offer}

Product was given to me in order to post my honest opinion.

My daughter loves crafts. She plays with paper and glue all the time and is very imaginative with her work. For the holidays and her birthday, I like to get her a few crafts or crafting supplies. I was really excited to work with Maria Palito and her eco-friendly, hand crafted sewing kits. I knew my daughter would love to do this craft with me.

My daughter is only 6, so the sewing was a little hard for her to do by herself. We worked together as a team to complete the kit. My daughter likes penguins, so I chose the Penguin Sewing Kit for her. If it was up to me, I would have gotten an owl! Can’t you tell I LOVE OWLS???? I think my seven year old son would have liked the Monster Sewing Kit. he probably could have figured out how to sew on his own.

Summer is Approaching: Find Activities for Your Kids Now!

This post may contain sponsored material.

Kids love summer because they get all the time in the world to just enjoy being a kid. They may not realize it yet, but they’ll have very few times in their life when they can just do whatever they want for a whole season!

However, kids being out of school also means unsupervised time where they can get in trouble or simply be unproductive. While a little unproductive fun is okay, kids need outlets that are both exciting and beneficial to their growth. That’s where you and your planning as a parent comes in to play.

Use this guide to help you plan great activities for your children this summer.

Dig Up Real Bugs with Dr. Cool #discoverwithdrcool

Product was given to my Discover with Dr. Cool in order to post my honest opinion.

I have another great Discover with Dr. Cool kit to share with you! My kids loved the Crystal Growing Kit! Now they get to dig for real bugs!

Discover with Dr. Cool is awesome company. They have a huge line of science related activities, where kids get to explore and discover the cooler side of science. The earth science kits offer hands-on experience, whether they are cracking open geodes, examining real bugs, or unearthing fossils. These kits were created from scratch by a husband and wife team; one who knows about rocks, minerals, and crystals, and the other, a school teacher. You can see how their combined knowledge makes for great adventurous science kits.

Let Your Kid Explore the Universe with a Space Scouts Monthly Subscription

Product was given to me by Space Scouts in order to post my honest opinion.

My son is fascinated by space right now. He loves learning about the solar system and everything that it involves. We recently got replicas of the planets and have them hanging in our kid’s room. My husband even got creative and distanced them correctly from the sun and each other to give my kids the idea of how it is really set up in our solar system.

Since my son loves science and space, I knew he would enjoy Space Scouts, a monthly subscription club for kids. Each month your child will explore a new place in space – stepping into the worlds of space exploration, space science, and astronomy. Space Scouts is designed to engage your child in fun learning activities, hands-on discovery, and exciting challenges. Your child gets to join Roxy and Jett as they scout about the galaxy through learning adventures aimed at discovering the wonders of the universe!

Personalized Kids Gifts for the Holidays from I See Me! {+Free Shipping Code}

Product was given to me by I See Me in order to post my honest opinion.

As a child while on vacations, I would always search for souvenirs with my name on them. Like license plate key chains, ornaments, and more. Since my parents decided to spell my name B-R-I-T-T-N-E-Y, instead of the more accepted form B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y, I was always bummed when I couldn’t find my name spelled correctly. As a kid, seeing our name on something makes us feel special.

I See Me! took that very same idea and created a company out of it. Children everywhere can have personalized gifts now, with their name spelled just like it is! What is even better, is that I See Me doesn’t just write your name on a keychain, they add you to stories and coloring books, as well as personalize puzzles, lunch boxes, stickers, and growth charts.

I See Me! has a collection of books you can personalize with a name and inscription, and even add a picture of your child. Not only is your child made the main character with their name throughout the whole book, some books include their picture in the drawings.

Learn About Crystals with the Crystal Growing Kits from Discover with Dr. Cool

My kids love doing experiments and discovering how things work. We recently made a volcano out of baking soda, vinegar, and dish soap. They loved watching it spew!

Discover with Dr. Cool has a huge line of science related activities, where kids get to explore and discover the cooler side of science. The earth science kits offer hands-on experience, whether they are cracking open geodes, examining real bugs, or unearthing fossils. These kits were created from scratch by a husband and wife team; one who knows about rocks, minerals, and crystals, and the other, a school teacher. You can see how their combined knowledge makes for great adventurous science kits.

Discover with Dr. Cool - Purple Amethyst Crystal Growing Kit

My kids were very excited to try out the Amethyst Crystal Growing Kit. They took turns mixing in the powder and loved how the water turned a deep purple.

Surprise Ride ~ A Monthly Subscription Box for 6-11 Year Olds

Product was given to me by Surprise Ride in order to post my honest opinion.

As you have seen, I love monthly subscription boxes! My kids have had great experiences with them as well. Surprise Ride is a subscription service that sends kids ages 6-11 fun and educational hands-on activities that foster creativity and imagination! The company was started by two sisters Donna and Rosy, and they have been working hard to create a lasting impact on the lives of children, beyond the latest toys or technologies.

My kids are always excited when something comes for them in the mail. They have gotten craft boxes before and loved the new and exciting adventures they found inside. The Surprise Ride is geared for older kids, which I feel is where there are not many things offered for this specific age group.
