Crafting & Exploring With WummelBox {Review}

Disclosure:  I was sent this product to review in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have said it before, but I am not crafty.  Now yes I can follow directions and am obsessed with re-creating my pins from Pinterest, but I need guidelines to follow.  I wish I was that crafty mom that can look a cardboard toilet paper tube and a plastic lid and come up with a whole craft from that, but I can’t.

WummelBox is a company that has made it easy for moms like me that want fun crafts and activities for their kids, but need some help getting started.  Each WummelBox contains everything needed to immediately begin creating and exploring.  It is a kit that is full of 3-4 themed projects, such as Nutrition, Music or Color & Light.  They are designed to inspire kids and spark ideas.  It is a subscription service too where you can sign up so your child (or as a gift) can receive a WummelBox each month to get going, but you can buy just one WummelBox if you want to try it out first.

I got the chance to try out a WummelBox with my kids (6, 4 and 1) and they had a blast!  Now first I will say I did have to help them get started, but then again its a great way to spend time with your kids.  I showed them how I did the different steps and I could tell they were soaking it all in.  The kit we tried was themed around music.  We made a drum, a chiming set, and played a game where we tried out different sounds of things.  It is a simple kit with nothing too fancy, but it is very well put together and encompasses great ideas inside.

The kit is not something either that we will use once and never again, the pieces can be used over and over like regular toys after we create them.  Without our WummelBox though I would have never thought of making the items we did.  The box inspired me to look around and show my kids other ways to create music and sounds.  We basically spent the entire day talking about different sounds and noises.  I plan on putting this box away when their done with it and breaking it out in a few weeks and going through the music “lesson” again.  That’s if they even let me put this set away!

Overall, I think WummelBox is a great idea and any child would love to have it.  I know my boys were super excited to get it in the mail and already asked when the next one would come!  I love that they are not throwaway craft ideas, but rather ones my boys want to play with again and again.  The first kit even came with scissors, so we have them for the crafts!  WummelBox is designed for children ages 3 to 8 years old and created by experts.
