Don’t you just love the seasons? Each one being so different and bringing fresh new wonders. Having young children I find this is easy to appreciate as I see the joy each season brings to them. After all, our daughter has only experienced four Autumns! Crispy leaves and collecting conkers are definite favourites!
This Autumn we have been overjoyed to receive a Happy Little Season Box from Ruth over at read create and love me too. I received this box free of charge, however all views are my own.
The happy little season box is an activity box for children inspired by the season, this autumn’s box was full of crafty stuff some fun added extras (snowdrops to plant & leaf cutters). The happy little season box is so beautifully packaged, its certainly delightful. It fits through your letter box so you don’t have to worry about not being at home when it arrives.
Our children have tried a couple of other craft boxes but they have been very prescriptive and quite uninspiring. I totally love the way the Happy little season box is open ended, it’s inspired by the season which fuels creativity . We have opened it up on a few occasions and our son has decided what to create. It really does stimulate hours of creativity and activity.
Here’s what Penguin got up to. A birthday card for his best mate
A peg doll for his sister
A painting of connecting trees
Natural play dough leaf cutting fun
There were so many possibilities with this box even Little Missy got to create a birthday card for her Granny.
All that is left now is to wonder what the winter box will hold! Actually I don’t think we need to wait. Ruth is selling the winter happy little season box over at folksy.
Have you ever received a craft box or an activity box through your door, was it any good? I’d love to hear about it. Please comment below 🙂

What a lovely craft box – it seems to have inspired your children to make some wonderful creations. I often think ‘I could do that’ about craft boxes, but I think the difference is in the inspiration of having a whole themed kit arrive and tempting the children to dive in excitedly! #FabFridayPost

Yes I agree. I think I could totally do that… but it’s the actual doing that’s important. I actually managed to do prep for the kids to make some Christmas cards and it worked really well 😀
