This Is How to Keep Kids Busy and Happy All Summer Long
With their wild imaginations and a desire to create on the daily, kids are seriously inspiring when it comes to harnessing that #iamcreative mantra. And since we are always looking for ways to encourage and cultivate that imagination, you can only imagine how stoked we were when we stumbled across Seedling. Full of educational activities and fun DIY kits, Seedling is like Brit Kits for kiddos.
Seedling was founded in New Zealand in 2007 and began with just a few activity kits that sparked hours and hours of imaginative play. After merging with Soleil Moon Frye (aka Punky Brewster!) and Kara Nortman’s party supply company P.S. XO, they have expanded to over 350 products and have gained an international following of parents, teachers and, of course, kids. One thing that makes this company so great is that they offer unique kits that encourage creativity and independence. “Young users are invited to use their own initiative at every stage of the activity — from the materials they’ll use to the ways they’ll play with it. Once they start, there’s no end to the possibilities young minds can come up with.”
Seedling’s kits are available for all ages and are guaranteed to inspire creativity in any maker. You can shop by age, price or theme to find the perfect kit for your little (or not-so-little) one. Whether you are looking for a DIY tutu kit ($60) or a DIY superhero mask ($24), or even a DIY piñata ($40), you will find it all here. And if you’re looking for something a bit more educational, they have all kinds of activity kits that include exploration, science and geography. From growing your own “dino” egg ($10) to excavating rocks and minerals ($34), these activity kits will have your favorite little scientist amused for hours.
For the supermom or superdad, they also have themed party boxes with decorations, kid crafts and party essentials like favors, costume stuff and fake tattoos. With themes like Jungle Safari, Winter Sparkle (Frozen party, anyone!?), Pirate Adventure and Slumber Party, these goods are great for all ages. One pre-made box for our next kid’s party (or our own)? Sign us up!
Don’t know about you, but we’re thinking Seedling might become our new one-stop shop for all things fun, creative and awesome for our kiddos. If you agree, check out their site for all kinds of amazing kits. You can also find their kits and more at toy stores across the country and in shops like Nordstrom and J.Crew.
