Crafter's Crate Review and Giveaway

*I received a complimentary crate for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*

Crafter's Crate is a company that puts amazing little crafts in one box for girls ages 5-10 years old.  Each month they have a new theme, we got the spa themed crate to review, and my daughter had a blast with it.  The Crafter's Crate is $19.99 + $4 shipping/month for a monthly subscription, $59+free shipping for three months and $110+free shipping for six months.  You can use promo code craftob10 to get $10.00 off your subscription.

I am always trying to find fun new things to keep Little Miss busy.  When Crafters Crate asked me to review their spa themed crate I was super excited to do so, and I knew Little Miss would love it since she loves to be pampered.



When the box arrived it had an adorable little elephant on the front of the box, which made it look very appealing to my daughter.  She just knew it was something for her, she couldn't wait to open it up and see what was inside. The inside was wrapped beautifully with a pink ribbon and tissue paper.



All the crafts were individually wrapped in plastic with an instruction card for each one.  That made it easy for her to see what she needed to do and she didn't have to try and sort through the supplies to try and figure out what went with what.  The instructions had great pictures on them, which was great for her since she cant read yet.  The instructions were easy for her to follow with very little help.  The crafts included in the spa crate were, Beauty Sleeping Mask, Rockin' Bath Salts, Face Mask, Erasable Door Hanger, and Lipbalm by Me.  They also include great tips on things to talk about while doing the crafts, this one talked about how important it is to take care of your skin and to relax.  I really liked that they put the talking points out there because a lot of times we forget to talk about this kind of stuff with are little ones.



She wanted to do the beauty sleeping mask first, so that's what we did.  I had to help her a bit with this one because she had never sewn before and it was a little tough for her to pull the string through.  she would poke the holes I would pull it through the material then she would pull it the rest of the way.  She loves wearing the mask. 


I think the erasable door hanger was her favorite one!  She was able to follow the instructions and do most of this on her own. Even though painting was involved it really didn't get to messy. 


The bath salts were a lot of fun for her she was able to do this craft completely on her own.  She loved watching the salts turn from white to blue.  She feels so special getting to use these in the bath.


My daughter loves to play dress-up and put on make-up while playing around the house.  She never leaves the house without her purse, sunglasses, and lipgloss, so I knew she would love making her own lipbalm.  I had to help her some on this one because it had to be melted in the microwave and poored into the little tube, but she had fun mixing the ingredients and couldn't wait for it to cool so she could try it out!


I think this is a great way to do crafts with your daughter. Every month you get 5 new crafts to try out which teaches them great new things.  You couldn't go to the store and pick-up all the stuff for these crafts for less then $20.00.  I would recommend this for anyone with young daughters.
