Being a hands on mom of 4 and, homeschooling at that, could be quite a challenge and I strongly believe that we need every help we can get. Stumbling upon Crated Memories on social media was quite exciting since I knew that it was definitely something that could assist me in creating fun moments with my kids through unique activities. I've been seeing a lot of educational subscription boxes in countries abroad and I was quite glad to discover that we have one available in the Philippines as well.<br />

Based on the items that I saw inside the box, I knew that my 3-year-old daughter would be the best choice and that she would love what Crated Memories' February box has in store of us this long weekend. There are 8 fun activities all in all, that came with complete instructions. 3 of them to our delight were art projects, we actually got to decorate a heart-shaped paper mache box with washi tapes and jewel stickers for one. We even got to design a blank canvas bag and apron using a brush and poster paint.<br />
<br />
My daughter zoned in on the vegetable and fruit toys for the "Cooking with Mommy" activity and played kitchen for more than half an hour. At first she would only identify each toy by color, then started naming the fruits and veggies she was familiar with. I just helped her with the ones she doesn't know about yet, like the bitter melon or "Ampalaya" and some mushrooms.  We couldn't really play the board game because she'd take the dice and pawns and do her own game without the game board haha. Same goes with the "Travel in Tricycle" activity because the minute she figured out that some of the pieces were magnets, she took them all and hurriedly arranged them on the fridge! We'll have a go at it again when she's older. The activities are recommended for children ages 3-10 and are focused on honing a child's  math, reading, socio-emotional, creativity, imagination, language, science, social and fine motor skills through art, books and interactive games. <br />
<br />
Retail price of their box is Php899 (FREE shipping within Metro Manila) which in my opinion is quite a steal considering the value you get in each box you receive. Oh and they also give 10% OFF for first time buyers.<br />
<br />
I love the whole idea behind Crated Memories and how it encourages parents to get more involved in their child's learning through creative activities. Their subscription boxes are perfect for busy parents who don't have time to come up with projects they can do with their kids on their own and of course, homeschooling families like us! This'll definitely stretch our peso!<br />
