(tot school tuesday) wooden bird feeder craft kit

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post.The kit was provided free by CraftProjectIdeas.com and Horizon Group USA for review purposes. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

If you haven’t heard me complain about the weather here in Arizona yet, it’s HOT HOT HOT! Summertime here in Arizona means you are either inside or in a pool, which isn’t so much fun when you have a toddler to entertain all day. I’m sure most of you cold weather folk can sympathize when you are snowed in and the kids are restless. Luckily, Logan and I were sent a fun wood garden craft set to help ease us into triple temps.

Many of my friends who read my blog always comment on how they wish they were creative or had the time to put together a craft activity for their kids. That’s what makes these craft kits are so awesome, everything you need to be creative is right there in the box ready to go! No time spent scouring the craft store trying to decide which supplies will be age appropriate for your kiddo. Just grab a box and start creating!

This particular wood garden kit included materials to build a wind chime, bird house, windmill bird house and bird feeder. It even came with stuff to decorate those creations! We worked on the bird feeder for our first project from this kit and it was simple and fun to create together. It states that it’s for ages 6+, but I just built the projects ahead of time (no hammer or nails required) and my 3 year old painted his little heart out. I’m always amazed at how calming painting is for him. I helped embellish the bird feeder with the gems and glitter glue that was included in the kit. The perfect activity for working on those fine motor skills!

Tot School is all about encouraging creative play in your children, because kids learn and communicate through play. I recommend getting in there with your kids, picking up a paint brush and learning how to play again as an adult. You might just find crafting with your kiddos to be incredibly relaxing and therapeutic. We can’t wait until our little bird feeder dries so we can add bird food and hang it outside (another great nature lesson)!
