Green Kid Crafts delights kids across North America each month with fun and eco-friendly craft and STEAM activities delivered right to their door through our company’s craft subscription box program. Kids are sent a monthly box, which is packed with between 4-6 activity kits designed to foster a child’s creativity and confidence.

Each month brings a new theme; past crafting kits for kids have included Mad Scientist, Nocturnal Animals, Around the World, and Outer Space. Our team of kid testers helps design each box as well as the fun activities and projects for our blog like this one!
