What’s Special About Green Kid Crafts?
Found by a Mom With a Mission
Penny Bauder wanted to spend time on creative and meaningful activities with her kids – but so many crafts seemed so wasteful and time-consuming to organize.
Boxed & Kitted With Love in San Diego, California
Each Green Kid Crafts box contains 4-6 activities and are carefully kitted by hand by our warehouse team in Sunny San Diego
Sustainable by Design
Green Kid Crafts is a green and sustainable business, drawing from Penny’s experiences as an environmental scientist, pictured here researching in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.

Lindsay –
Affordable great projects. We’ve been subscribers for over a year.
Jodie –
This box was a lot of educational fun for my girls. We still have the fizzy lamp, they loved putting it together I think they added some extra bling we had around the house. The magnet friend was super cool, my 2 year old was particularly enthralled with it. It was such a great idea that we found a large set of magnetic toys to buy and added that one in the mix. I don’t remember the slime monsters so they may have done that project with Dad. My kids are thrilled every time they see their craft boxes have been delivered. The hard part is getting them to not do all the projects in one day!

My kids are older (11 and 13) and they liked the projects but they just blew through them. I think these are more appropriate for kids under 8. But really fun ideas – I was pretty impressed with all the extras.
