This day I love.......

Almost a year ago we had a look at the weekend box. You can read our full review here.

A year later we were sent another box to have a look at. The girls a little older, would they enjoy it as much?

The concept to the box is still the same, something to cook, make, explore and green. Our box had an Aztec theme to it and it was great for the girls to learn about the Aztec.

Our something to cook was hot chocolate, this is a firm favourite of the girls and went down very well given the cold weather we have had recently. We added marshmallows into ours, they are a favourite of the girls and a real treat.

We go to explore and learn more about the Aztecs inside the box, with mosaics to make and build our own stamps. The girls loved making the stamps and dipping them in the paint to create stamp pictures. Their favourite activity was making the Aztec birds.

We were provided with powder paint in our box and everything we needed to make our birds, except from a card board tube. I could have rolled the box itself to form a tube but decided to just use a cardboard tube. The girls loved painting and sticking and soon made some great looking Aztec birds.

The great thing about the weekend box is that it provides you with ideas and things to do with the kids. Especially on those afternoons after school or those rainy days. The girls love to get the weekend box out whilst I'm cooking dinner too, it's safe to say that even a year on they weekend box is a huge hit.

There are some products that when they really make you go wow.  The Weekend box was one of these, such a clever idea.  Let me introduce the Weekend box to you.

The Weekend Box

The Weekend box contains something in the following categories

Something to Cook 
Something to Make
Something to Explore and
Something Green

Each activity explores sensory skills and teach them something in a fun way.  My eldest at 3 years old loved it.  As a parent I loved that pretty much everything I needed was included.  I know how hard it can be to entertain a 3 year old with something fun and educational, particularly when you cannot go outside and play.  The Weekend box provided a great solution.  We had an idea of something to make for lunch, green pancakes and after an activity to make.  There was a fun game to play and a little experiment on sound.  Even my 23 month old got involved and had fun.

There is a new box every fortnight and a box costs £7.50, which I think is very well priced.  If you would like to try a weekend box for free including delivery then please use this promotional code LEYLA130.  I personally think the Weekend box is an excellent idea, the girls loved it, I loved it and we could focus on what mattered over the weekend, having fun!
