I wish I were craftier, I really do. I have good intentions, but I often end up with a mess or full of frustration or both! Some of the most frustrating moments I’ve ever had as a parent are when I come up with a great idea (a game or a craft) but before I have a chance to get all the supplies ready, my kids completely melt down and I’m so frustrated and stressed out that crafting is the last thing I want to do. Not only can it be a hassle to get everything ready, but tracking down all the supplies can be difficult too! I don’t know how many times my crafts and projects have failed because I didn’t have the right supplies and tried to improvise (I’ve noticed that to be a trend on my Pinterest fail blog, YourPinBroke.com).
I promise I’m not trying to turn you off to crafting! Because I’m going to tell you about an awesome company that takes the stress and hassle out of crafting with your kids!

Both of my boys would like the train whistle, but neither one of them would be able to blow it!
I think the canvas puppets look fun. I really like all of them, but maybe not the Tibetan prayer flag so much, although it’s a good way to teach about other religions.
The centipede is one we haven’t done yet. We’ve been getting the kits for the past year since our son was 2. With a little help he is always successful at creating a finished product. We also find they are a great activity for the sitter to do with him.
We would love the train whistle or canvas puppets!
