Always Kindergarten: Avery & Austin

I am absolutely in love with the Avery & Austin subscription box! At the beginning of each month, it arrives at our door with 2 complete craft kits and snacks for two kids, plus a host gift for me! December's box did not disappoint and kept my girls busy all month with THREE different winter themed crafts.

Craft #1: Snow Globe Ornaments

This craft was so much fun and so pretty! The girls filled their globe ornaments with snow, sequins, and jewels. All materials were included in the box! The ornaments were plastic and the activity was great for building fine motor strength. And what girl doesn't love sequins and jewels!?!

Craft #2: Paper Snowflakes

A winter classic! These fun templates were easy to cut out for even my littlest crafter.

Craft #3: Snowman Pin

Another adorable and easy craft. My girls loved painting and putting together these snowman pins. Everything needed to create the pins was in the box, including the paint and foam brushes! It doesn't get easier than this.

This month's snacks were also delicious and gobbled up by even my pickiest eater!

Mom Gift: Wine Glass Writer

I absolutely LOVE this month's mom gift! These pens can be used to label wine glasses at a party and much more! They work on all glass and glazed ceramics and wash off with a soapy sponge.

Being a mom and teaching full time is a lot of work. Add blogging, creating, and managing multiple social media platforms and you wonder when you will find time to sleep! Yet, the thought of giving up any of it would be letting go of something I really love or enjoy so what's a girl to do? Then I found it. A way to get some work done and give my kids some quality fun time together!

Avery & Austin is a monthly subscription box and it has totally rocked my world! Each month, the box arrives at our door with two complete craft kits and snacks for two kids, plus a host gift for me! (Wait, I get a present, too?! Yes, please!)

This month, I was struggling to find time to get my report cards done in time for conferences. I tried working on them once the girls went to bed but by that time I was just too tired. So one afternoon, I pulled out our Avery & Austin box and viola! I had over an hour of nearly uninterrupted time to work and the girls got to do what they love (create!). The best part, I didn't have to come up with the craft or gather the supplies. It's all there!

The November Box

This month's box included THREE different crafts! My girls love to paint and I don't let them do it at home nearly enough. So the camera craft from Woodshop Wizards was perfect!

Look at that concentration!

The other two crafts were perfect for Thanksgiving. A frame and photo prop for our Thanksgiving decor!

I can't wait for next month's box! It will be great to have something for the girls to do during Winter Break!
