We’re convinced that half the reason we send kids to pre-school is the craft projects. It is far easier to send our little ones off than it is to have a decent supply of glue, glue sticks, construction paper, glitter, popsicle sticks, scissors, feathers, pom poms and whatever else. And who has the space to store it all? And clean up? Forget it, especially if you aren’t born with the ‘craft’ gene. And studies indicate that 40% of moms and 98.7% of dads are craft gene deficient.
Fortunately, there is a solution to all your craft problems courtesy of Fun Well Done run by the very clever, more on that, Jennifer Giattino.
Jennifer spent 10 years in the financial world before deciding to stay home with her kids. To help support her family, she hit upon the idea of creating self contained craft kits that contained everything needed to create a single craft project.
Today Fun Well Done provides kits for children 1 1/2 to 4 and 4 to 11. For the younger crowd, kits come in a very stylish box filled with all the supplies needed and easy to follow instructions (huge for Mom and Dad). For bigger kids, the kits include fun facts along with the project materials. All the kits come very nicely packaged in boutique-style gift boxes with all the trimmings. Kits can be purchased individually, in bulk for parties, or, as part of Craft of the Month Club packages which includes 2 crafts sent each month for 3, 6, or 12 months. Crafts can be purchased individually by season, age appropriateness, or by holiday.
Pretty clever, huh? We thought so and are happy to announce that Jennifer is joining Clever Parents as a contributor. Her monthly column is called Fun Well Done and will focus on craft projects you can do with your children.
