Kids love crafts, and this box provides a ton of seasonal fun. Each month you’ll get up to 5 crafts for your kids between 3 and 9 to enjoy. These crafts range in complexity, but all are safe and fun for kids. Each box has 2 copies of each craft so two children can participate. If you have more kids, you can order more boxes.
Everything is included, and the instructions are clear so that everyone can have fun with their crafts.

Box Contents and Themes
Each box follows a theme, and most are seasonal. December sees winter boxes or Christmas themes, October has fall or kid-friendly spooky themes, and so on. You’ll get materials and supplies to make five different crafts in each box. This gives you enough to make one (or more) per week with your little ones.
Each box contains two copies of five crafts, so you will need to purchase more than one box if you have three or more kids.
Includes everything – except scissors
You won’t need to add any additional supplies to your box in order to make all of the crafts included. Everything is in the box, including any glue, paintbrushes, and coloring tools. However, the one thing that you may need to provide is scissors. The boxes don’t come with scissors, so make sure you have a couple of pairs on hand before getting started.
Past Box Examples
Some past Kids DIY Crafts Activities Boxes include seasonal offerings like the Happy Thanksgiving from Owl of Us! Box or the Thankful Turkey! Box.
The Thankful Turkey! Box was sent out for November. This seasonal box includes materials for two children to make the following crafts:
- Owl in turkey disguise wall hanging
- I am Thankful! Pinecone turkey
- Gratitude leaves garland
- Thanksgiving memory weaving basket
- Thanksgiving beaded necklace
You can purchase past boxes on The Kids Craft website, too. Each box contains enough materials for two people, so you’ll have to purchase more than one if you have more than two children.
Scaling Subscription Options
The Kids Craft addresses some of the issues with their boxes in the subscription model. Since the boxes only have two copies of each craft, you can scale it up to include a second box at a discount. You can choose a box that will suit up to 4 crafters at an increased cost.
Cost and Shipping to Canada
You can choose to pay monthly for your box, or you can choose a prepaid multi-month subscription.
| Duration | 1-2 Crafters | 3-4 Crafters |
|---|---|---|
|
Monthly |

$74.99 |

There are discounts for prepaying in advance, with better discounts for the more months you prepay (up to 25% off for a full year). The cost for a box that accommodates 4 crafters is affected most by this discount.
You can also choose to have your order delivered every two months, which can reduce your cost.
Canadian Shipping
There is no flat-rate shipping fee for Canadian shipping. Shipping is calculated based on location, so it changes for each user. Shipping for every delivery works into the cost of your subscription or prepaid subscription, so expect to pay more than the listed price.

How does the deadline work for this subscription box?
The deadline for this box is the 11th of each month. However, you can still receive the box featured for that month if you start your subscription on a different date.

Can you choose what comes in each box?
You can choose how big the boxes are (in this case, how many children you are getting crafts for), but you cannot choose what comes in each Kids DIY Crafts Activities Box. There is a separate subscription box offered by The Kids Craft that provides a larger selection of activities for different ages, though.
