We were lucky enough to review a craft kit from Creativity for Kids. The boys were so excited when the kit arrived because they LOVE to do crafts! Honestly, they may be messy and a lot of clean up but they are so fun for the kids, and they keep them busy for such a long time! I would much rather have my boys sitting at the craft table drawing or doing a fun craft that sitting in front of the tv or video games.
This is a really great company because when they ask which craft kit we would like to review and give away we told them the Monster bank kit (which the boys picked out.) After looking at my site and seeing that I have 4 boys they asked if we would like 2 of the kits because they each come with 2 banks and this way each of my boys would get a bank to decorate! That was so nice of them and we really did appreciate it!
The kids had so much fun decorating their banks! The banks were actually nicer than I had thought they would be because they were smooth and with a shiny finish. I had kind of expected them to be like the unfinished ceramic that you get if you go into a local ceramic shoop. They aren’t huge, but that’s ok because the boys really don’t keep a lot in their little banks. They are big enough for our boys at their ages.
The only negative thing I have to say is that the paint was hard to get off. However, we did get it all off after a few washings. The older boys were fine. They didn’t really get much paint on them, but our 4 year old had it ALL over himself! He didn’t like us scrubbing to get it off, so it took a little longer to get it off, but we did get it off. If we use the paint again I will just make sure he has sleeves and an apron or something on.
Other than that the kit came with everything they needed and was great! I think we will definitely be purchasing some more kits as Christmas presents!
