Green Kid Crafts​ is like an eco-friendly art & STEM lesson for littles in a box–including ALL the supplies you need to complete three separate crafts. (No hunting around for pipe cleaners required.)

We enjoyed this monthly subscription for over two years until my kids recently outgrew them. And right now you can try it at a whopping 25% OFF with the code SHS!

Do you hope your kids will become skilled and passionate readers? If so, look into Pen & Ink Learning, where Amy has put together helpful reading resource packages to use with ages 9+ to ignite deeper understanding as they read.

And right now you can access her character study package for free!
