I remember as a young child being completely drawn towards color and, although I loved interacting with other children, the idea of crafting something from scratch on a rainy Arizona day, fueled my spirit. Colorful crayons, magic (no co inky dinc) markers, brightly hued construction paper and a fresh pair of sharpened scissors created the perfect canvas for an indoor playground – physically and mentally.
I remember thinking that adults were soo boring and often wondered why they chose dull colors for their clothes, homes and workplaces (pre-Google, of course). After all, it’s not as if this is some kind of adult imprisonment inflicted upon us at a certain age. Dull colors are not less expensive, less attainable or even better for planet earth. Why then, do we lose that inner child, colorful, creative, curious and wondrous spirit as we age? Guess what? We don’t have to! And, being a parent is not a requirement. You can create crafts for relatives, your community, schools, parties and of course, your own kiddos! And, the best part is, these crafts can inspire and educate without taking a toll on the environment.
Alas, we are thrilled to introduce you to a phenomenal concept for kids, parents, aunts, uncles…heck – everyone! Let’s face it, we’re are not all channeling our inner Martha Stewart and we get that having a perfectly tidy, non-toxic home, nutritionally balanced organic snacks and the award winning rainy day craft for your kids may be a bit…stepford parent-ish. This is where the peeps at Green Kids Crafts come in. They do all the hard work for you! Whether you are looking for a gift, a monthly subscription for your own ‘lil tike, party favors or group activities – they’ve got you covered (in renewable, recyclable and/or biodegradable materials in fact)! Isn’t time to transform you child into an eco-kid; help them explore their environment; and develop a love for nature by integrating eco-awareness into their crafts whenever possible? Yeah, we think so too (ARV $139.95)!
