Carefree Crafts is a monthly kid’s craft subscription club aimed at kids 3-10. Each month you’ll get a curated package of fun crafts that you and your kids can assemble. Each month is centered on a holiday or seasonal theme, and once completed; the crafts become toys or decorations for your kids. The subscription starts at $9.95 with $4.95 for shipping. So the total for subscription is $14.95/month (some months cost less, I did not find any that cost more). You can also get crafts a la carte so if you only want a few, or want certain crafts you did not receive you can buy them.
Carefree Crafts came in a padded envelope via USPS. I got a confirmation that it was shipped on Friday and got it in the mail Saturday. It was addressed to S, so it made his day to get a package in the mail and not just an envelope.
When S and I opened the package it was stuffed full of crafts. Here are the crafts included for this month. There were 5 Father’s Day related crafts enclosed in the Thanks, Dad kit. It also gave a brief description of each craft and some tips on explaining ways to say thank you to dad on Father’s Day.
No-Sew Football Pillow-This pillow is such a cute idea. It came with the stuffing which I was curious if it would (It says everything is included, but I wasn’t sure). B is not into sports at all, so I thought this would be perfect for S’s cousin F to make for her dad.
Father’s Day Can Hug-This cozy is so cute. How easy is this going to be to make? They are just foam stickers you attach to the cozy. We got a orange cozy instead of the blue one pictured. S will be able to do this no problem, I just wonder how well the stickers are going to stick on the cozy.
Update: S loved making this cozy. It was a very easy project for him to do. After a few days the stickers are starting to peel off of the cozy, but S enjoyed making it and that is all that matters. S decided he is going to give this to his Grandpa Bob for Father’s Day.
“You Rule” Tape Measure-I loved the idea of this and knew S would love to make it. I mean a tape measure for him to use. The box is made of cardboard so I am not sure it will make it past one or two playing’s before it is smooshed. At least S will have a ton of fun making this.
Floating Foam Ship-This ship looks like it connects without using any glue. This is like a puzzle fitting the pieces together correctly will make a ship. It says this boat will float in a kiddie pool, or bowl of water. I am debating do I save it with the pirate party supplies I have been collecting for a future pirate party (I am sure we will have one eventually.) or do I let S make it now and play with it? Not sure what I am going to do.
Father’s Day Photo Frame-This is a cute foam frame that is made by sticking together with glue dots and foam stickers. S should have no problem making this for S. Now to find a picture. That may be a problem. I have not printed off pictures since the last Costco sale on 4×6’s.
Update: S made this for B, and I let him pick the stickers out of this collection and the cozy cup stickers that he thought described B. Notice there are no sports stickers because that is not B at all and S does not associate that with B. When he talks about his dada it is tools and cars. S had a great time making this for B.
This month no glue stick!!! Although everything did not come in a big Ziploc bag like past months, it was all individually packaged. I think this is great to have everything you need to complete 5 really cute crafts. I love that they all had one theme. S and I will have fun doing all of these crafts and I liked not having to search for the glue dots or stickers to complete these projects. All of the crafts look like S can make them no problem. He may need a little help with assembly but can decorate all of the crafts himself. I will post pictures of the crafts when they are completed, along with how S liked them so check back to this posting to see the final products.
