During last week our free trial Toucan Box arrived. Toucan Box is a company that sends boxes of creative activities for children aged 3-8 years old by post. You can get the petite box which is the free one I have received which contains one activity or you can upgrade to two bigger boxes which contain a few more activities costing a little more then the petite and are sent out monthly. I thought I would give it a go as have heard some good reviews about it.
Decided to keep it to one side until Saturday during the time Aiden has his nap as he is too young for these activities. Was nice to have this time in which me and Keira could do something fun together.
She was very excited when I told her she had some post, we opened it up to see what was inside.
The box contained materials to make two racing jellyfish so we had one each. I started by sharing out the materials between me and her and then showing her how to do each step so she could copy me after. She was fine with sticking the googly eyes on and the dots to decorate (these were stickers) I then cut the straw into 4 bits and the ribbon to thread through the straws. Keira tried threading the ribbon through the straws but found it a little difficult so I gave her some help and also helped her with threading the ribbon for the tenticles and then adding the beads and tying the ends.
Once done we hung our jellyfish up in the conservatory and had fun racing them up the window!
Was a lovely little activity, took about 10 minutes to make and was quite easy. The materials are very colourful and eye catching and it is something that once made we can use again and again. They are currently being kept on the conservatory window and make quite cute decorations!
Looking forward now to receiving our next box, they send different activities each time and also have themes so we may be getting a Halloween one next :O!
