Way back in my blogging journey in the early days, I thought even around 2 years ago; we received a Weekend Box to review. We loved it, in fact, we loved it so much I ended up getting Olivia subscription as a birthday present (click here to read our first review) This month we received one of their mini boxes. This was something that wasn’t available when we first subscribed, so let me tell you a bit a little bit about the boxes.

Weekend Box is a subscription-based activity box for children aged around 3-9. You can set your subscription level to suit your lifestyle or budget opting for either the mini package, which we reviewed or the regular one.

A mini box is a fortnightly box containing 2 randomly chosen activities from either the MAKE, BAKE, EXPLORE, and MORE categories priced at £4.95 per pack.

The regular box contains 4 activities, one from each category and costs £7.95 per box and can be delivered either fortnightly or monthly.

Both subscriptions can be paused or cancelled at any time, and all boxes are letterbox-sized, so there is no worrying about having to retrieve it from the post office if you are out!

Now for our review.

Olivia still loved it! She is a fan of all things crafty, and this is something that really appeals to her. The crafts are easy to do, more straightforward the better for me, and pretty much everything you need is included in the box so you can get started straight away. Our activities had made a mask, and a rainforest in a bottle; all we needed was a rainforest bottle. You get full instructions, easy to follow steps; even I could help!

I really like these boxes because pretty much everything is included and instructions are simple to follow with pictures too so you can see it visually step by step as you progress. They really are great for the rubbish weather we have been having lately when chances are you will be stuck in quite a lot! For younger kids they will need more help with some activities, e.g. we had to cut a bottle in half to make our rainforest, but with Olivia being older, she happily got stuck in on her own.

They are really thorough with the activities, and all the added extras included stickers for completing each craft, a box you can colour in too and the chance to win prizes by sending pictures of your creations into the Weekend Box Team!

If you fancy trying one out for yourself or as a present, these make great birthday presents! Pop over to Weekend Box Club and enter this code TRACEY129 to get your first one for free.
