When I first met my stepdaughter, she was a very shy three year old. I would always bring a craft with me to do with her. By using a simple activity like making a craft, it helped her be more comfortable with me, and allowed us to get to know one another. Now, over four years later, crafts are still a special bonding time we share.

Once I was introduced to
Darby Smart’s DIY kids projects, I was very excited to try out their fun and unique crafts. We were able to try out the
Project Kid Deluxe Craft Box and the
Neon Mobile. Both of our kits came in super cute
Darby Smart packaging, and were ready to use right out of the box.

For the
Neon Mobile, the instructions were easily-accessible online. The craft was fun for my seven-year old to assemble by herself. She had fun working with the different color patterns that were made as it was being put together, and enjoyed being able to complete the entire project with pretty much no assistance from myself. The mobile came out great and looks wonderful in her room! It just so happens that the colors of the mobile match the colors in her room as well!

The
Darby Smart Project Kid Deluxe Craft Box comes with a TON of great items to help you create a myriad of crafts. I felt like I was opening up Mary Poppin’s purse as I pulled out paint brushes, embroidery hoops, decorative edge scissors, pom poms, and much more. You could easily stay busy with these crafts all day.

The
Project Kid Deluxe Craft Box also comes with the
Project Kid book. This book includes instructions on how to make over 100 different crafts using the materials contained in the box. From a juice-box owl to a stuffed animal sleeping bag, the
Darby Smart Project Kid book will help your little one create to their heart’s content. The easy-to-follow instructions are also paired with excellent images to help your child complete their project.
Darby Smart also offers a
Butterfly Wall Art Kit, a
Dolly’s Sleeping Bag Kit, and a
Project Kid Craft Starter Set. The
Project Kid Craft Starter Set also comes with the
Project Kid book.
These wonderful kits are great whether you need to keep your little one busy, for use during a school break, or just if you need some quiet, one-on-one bonding time. The
Darby Smart DIY kids projects are easy to assemble, cute, and fun. Your child will enjoy creating something they can be proud of.
Buy: The DIY kid project kits range in price from $12 to $39 and can be purchased from
