Bluum February 2017 Review
Bluum is a children's subscription box for ages 0-5.Boxes are $34.00/month and each box is curated based on the age, gender and skill level of your child. Bluum now lets your customize your box (Bluum Choice) and pick everything in your box. Check out my post here for details. You can use the code MRV3835U16 to save $10 on your 1st box.
Here is how Bluum Choice works:
Under your child, selec”choose product”.
At the top of your screen, you will see your child's name, four boxes and a drop down box.
You can choose from the following categories: Food, Books, Safety, Nesting, Potty Training, Clean Up, Health and Wellness, On the Go, Bedtime and Naptime, Playtime, Getting Dressed, Feeding Accessories, Bathtime, Change Time, Media.
As you pick items, the choices change.
Bluum shipped in a large orange box.
My son turns 5 next month, so there was a Happy Birthday card in the box. You don't get a regular information card with Bluum, because they email you a list of your box contents.
Child's Play Old Macdonald Counting Snap $8.68 SNAP is a fun game where you try to collect as many matches as you can. All the cards a dealt out to all the players. Players take turns flipping over cards. When two cards match, the person who yells “SNAP” and collects the other players cards. We just got another game of SNAP this month, so this deck will go in our camper.
Faber-Castell Jumbo Beeswax Crayons $7.15 This set of 12 crayons are made of beeswax and are triangle shaped. The triangle shape is perfect for teaching proper grip and strengthening hand muscles.
The crayons snap into the container, so they don't fall out when you open the box.
Melissa & Doug Wooden Letter Alphabet Magnets $11.99 This magnet set has uppercase and lowercase letters, so we can make letter pairs and small words. We have some plastic letters, but they have slowly disappeared.
Booginhead Coloring Silicone Placement $4.99 This silicone placemat features superheros and is BPA, PVC, and Phthalate free. We don't have placemats for the camper yet, so I am putting this in my camping stash. Kids can color this with dry erase markers and easily wipe it clean.
The next two items were replacement items from past boxes.
Melissa & Doug Paint with Water Kids' Art Pad – Farm Animals $4.99 This pad has 20 pages to paint and each piece of paper has it's own paint palette. You don't have to worry about mixing paint together with these sheets. We have this already, but T will use this.
Über Mom® The Tissuebox – White Anchor $4.99 This container holds those small travel size package of tissues. I can't say I have ever needed this, but I might use it to store tissues in my son's swim bag.
Bluum February 2017 Review
Final Thought: My box had a total value $32.81. I didn't include the values of the other two items, since they were replacing past items. I liked my box, but I wish the value was higher. Bluum used to have quite high values each month, and they have increasingly gone down. I hope Bluum expands their selections for some higher valued items.
