Happy Earth Day and a Giveaway from Artterro Eco Art Kits

Earth Day is coming soon and it is very appropriate that I am having a giveaway from Artterro.  Artterro is a fabulous Eco Friendly company that creates wonderfully Gorgeous Art Kits.  I am giving away a Wonderful Bookmaking Kit to one lucky reader to celebrate Earth Day or any kit of your choice. Check out my Review of their Wool Felt Bug Kit and of their Wire and Bead Kit here. I truly have loved all their kits because they are high quality and are designed to promote open ended art experiences. 

The Bookmaking Kit is simply beautiful....gorgeous handmade paper and beads. All that is needed is glue and scissors to start creating.

I had my daughter select the papers for her book and I sewed them together to create a book of her own.  She enjoyed cutting the handmade papers to collage inside her book.

Here are our finished books with so much more leftover supplies to create more books or fancy greeting cards.

Here is a collage page of C's book.  I gave away the other two books for special keepsake Birthday gifts. Everyone really thought they were so beautiful.

Here is your chance to win the Bookmaking Kit from Artterro or any other kit of your choice!:

Giveaway: Box of Projects from Craftprojectideas.com

Craftprojectideas.com sent us this Wonderful Box of Projects for us to review and one to give to one lucky reader!  Craftprojectideas.com is a sponsor,  but is also taking part in The Heart Project to help donate money to The American Heart Association.  Check out this post from last week to find out more about The Heart Project!

When we received this Box of Projects we couldn't believe our eyes! So much to make and create!  C had a wonderful time creating everything.....there are still activities we still haven't gotten to create!  This box has kept her busy for the past couple weeks! There are sticker play sets, mosaics, coloring rolls/markers, puppets, modeling clay, tissue paper animals, foam beads, and so much more!

Here is C working on the Foam Heart Mosaic with self sticking foam....no sticky mess!

Here is the Beautiful finished Heart Mosaic!

C enjoyed the sticker play sets and scenes.  There was also a bear you could dress up too!

The coloring roll was a big hit too!  Something about it being a roll made it extra special!

The monkey and dog paper bag puppet were pretty cool and colorful!

Thee tissue paper animals were really colorful and full of sensory exploration!  Again, no glue and no sticky mess!

Overall,  the kit was really a HIT and like I  said there is still tons to create....clay animals, foam bead necklaces!  It is great for ages 4 and up and would make a wonderful gift for a crafty child.  If you want to purchase this "Box of Projects",  it is available at your local Walmart!

Maybe you just want an extra dose of creativity and surprise for your child each month?  I know my daughter loved receiving the bright green envelope in the mail and was curious what would be inside!  Everyone loves receiving something in the mail and the added plus of a FUN craft kit to make is a plus too!  Craft Caravan sent us their February Craft Package to review and we had a FUN morning creating some Valentine themed projects. Craft Caravan is providing one of my lucky readers a 3 Month Subscription to their craft club! Find out the details after this post on how to enter this Fab Giveaway!

We created the two projects of the treasure chest and bank provided....and more!  We were also able to make a Heart Person and I made a card with the extra supplies left over.

Here is C happily working on her projects.  She loved the idea of the bank and treasure chest! The bank is going to be a gift for Dad.  Craft Caravan provided (along with the cardboard bank and treasure chest) a variety of collage materials to create the projects: metallic hearts,  pretty printed papers, colored scraps, punched papers, and glittery confetti! All we needed were glue and scissors to complete the projects.
