 Appleseed Lane |
| The Appleseed Lane kid’s activity boxes are great for moms that don’t have time to plan evening activities for your littles. These kits require a little bit of adult supervision and assistance and are great to work on as a family. The November box was focused on crime scene science. My daughter still talks about how much fun she had decoding messages, creating fingerprints and a plaster handprint. Oh, and I can’t forget the invisible ink! Each box comes with everything you need to complete each task detailed in the instructions (also included). These kits are fun and educational. Great for homeschoolers, too! Our December box was a Circuit kit that came with Play-doh, electrical cords and more to learn about static electricity and other forms of electricity. Cost: This box is $19 – $23 per month depending on how many boxes you purchase at one time. I encourage you to order one box and see if you child is into it or not. Visit www.appleseedlane.com to check it out and place an order. |
