Boxes contain 2-3 STEM/art projects, a 20-page GIRLS CAN! activity book, creative play props, a focus character trait for little ones to practice, a character trading card with a featured character trait for kids to practice, 2-3 practical tips for parents to help foster that trait in their little ones every day and MORE.
The box is designed just for girls.
This card gives details about everything in the box and the different projects.
This month, the featured female is Juliette Gordon Low. There is a card that gives grown-ups information about how you can help girls become more like Juliette.
Girls Can Crate gives information about Julitte Gordon Low.
There were activities, games, and products you can do at home.
There several pages that explained how girls can learn to read maps, and do first aid.
Activity #1: Exploring Outdoors
This activity lets your child make a bird feeder to hang up outside. There is also a nature observation journal to record their adventures and a container to put treasures found outside.
There are step by step instructions on how to make the projects.
This project used the bird seed, kraft rol, sunbutter and ribbon. As a mom of a child with peanut allergies, I was glad to see the sunbutter.
The first step is to put the sunbutter around the tube.
Then your child rolls the tube in the bird seed and adds the ribbon.
The finished project.
The bird feeder is ready for birds! The tube is pretty thick, so it should hold up to weather.
The second part of the activity was a nature exploration journal, with a box and magnifying glass.
The box is big enough for small thing your child finds. The activity book makes sure children ask before collecting anything.
The nature exploration journal has pages about birds to find and other activities to do on a hike. My son can't wait to go exploring.
Activity #2 Explore Knot Tying with a Survival Bracelet
My oldest son has made one of these bracelets in cub scouts but my youngest has never done it. This one takes about 30 mins to complete, low messiness and med/high on grown up help.
I like that there is a guide paper to use to make the bracelet.
Bracelet making! My son need some help getting this one completed.
The finished bracelet.
My son loves his bracelet!
Each box comes with a button that your child can put on a bag, jacket or backpack.
Final Thought: I love the scouting theme of this box. I was a girl scout growing up and I think it's a great program for girls. The bird feeder and nature kit was the big hit of this box. Though this box is designed for girls, it's still a great box to teach boys about important women. If you want to subscribe, use the coupon WELCOME20 to save 20% off your 1st box.
