Hello! It's been a little while, hasn't it? I've been super busy getting the new website ready and dealing with some other issues, but I'm happy to tell you that the website is almost ready! I'm so excited to show you, and my plan is to have it ready to share by the end of the week. If you have been reading my blog for long, you know that I love to craft with children. I always have been passionate about crafting with children. I was doing projects with my own girls as soon as they were old enough to sit up in a high chair, but I also worked with mentally ill children for many years and often in art therapy, and now, I love to craft with my niece and nephews when they visit. I think it is such an important part of any child's life, so I am ridiculously excited to let you know about the new crafting with children section of the shop.
In the past, I have designed some kids crafting kits under my "Mommy and Me" label, but it's been hard to keep that section stocked. So I scoured the web until I found other crafting kits for children that I simply adore. The doll above was created from a wonderful kit that comes complete with everything you need to make her; from the printed fabric to the scissors, stuffing, and needle and thread! This line of kits is genius in the fact that all of the packaging can be recycled into something else. For instance, the dolly's kit packaging recycles into a chair for her to sit in! Such a cute idea and eco friendly at the same time! This wonderful kit will retail for only $14.99!
The Momma and baby owl above is another of the sweet kits. Can you possibly resist? This set also will retail for only $14.99 and comes complete with all materials needed. I love the fact that these kits have all of the materials, that makes them perfect for taking on vacation, sitting in the car activities, or even projects for a rainy day at home.
I'll also be adding a series of darling mini kits and they too, include everything needed to create the projects. One of the wonderful thing about these kits (besides being simply ADORABLE) is that they will retail for only $6.99! (yes, I know!) I am completely smitten with the sweet little bear key chain above.
I have more crafting with children kits to share with you soon as well, and of course I will still have my own "Mommy and Me" projects available too.
This is just one of the changes to my shop that I am over the moon excited about and I hope you will be as well!
More soon!
