Let's Craft Box

What's in the box: A box holds the materials for a set of themed craft projects, such as 8 creature crafts in the Mythical Creatures month.

Let's Craft Box is a New Zealand craft subscription for young children. Each month has a theme. October's theme is Mythical Creatures, with 8 projects including a mermaid, a yeti, a phoenix and dragon eggs. Past and current themes include Garden Insects, Space Explorer, Rainforest Animals, Things That Go and Fantastic Birds, along with seasonal kits for Halloween and Christmas. The site says the kits are for ages 4 to 9 and are meant to be hands-on and screen-free. The monthly subscription is listed at $26 per box plus $5 shipping, and you can pause or cancel at any time. One-off themed kits are listed at $29, so subscribing costs a little less if you plan to buy regularly. The store also sells art supply kits for restocking a craft cupboard at home. Expect simple arts and crafts rather than science experiments. If you are after real STEM content such as circuits, chemistry or coding, look elsewhere. The site does not give a detailed list of what comes in each box, how long the projects take, or how much adult help is needed. The site has a currency selector, but the business and its themes are clearly aimed at New Zealand families. For parents who want a steady supply of easy, themed craft projects, it is a sensible and fairly priced choice.
