Weekend Mini Box Club Review January 2016
DESCRIPTION
I have recently done a review on the bumper box at The Weekend Box but now they have brought out there new Mini Box which consists of just 2 activities which is ideal if you don't have much time on your hands but still want to do a few activities.
The Weekend Box Club is the brainchild behind Andy Stephenson when he was looking for gift ideas for his nieces and nephews: he wanted to find something that was educational (but fun), engaging and something that helped develop key life skills so he came up with the weekend box in his bedroom.
Weekend Box activities are created by child-play experts to stimulate, nurture and encourage development of key life skills.
The Mini Box is available for £4.95 with free delivery.
REVIEW
Our box theme was Rainforests and had 2 envelopes.
Green and Blue which if you have seen my other review is Something Green (to plant or up-cycle) and Something to make (arts and crafts).
Green Envelope - Grow a Rainforest
We received most of what we needed in the packet including these really cool compact dry compost pellets.
Instructions were very clear to follow, Oliver loved putting the pellets in the water and watching them expand he thought it was magic lol.
We followed what we needed to do and Oliver added the seeds, it is now on our windowsill while we wait for it to grow and Oliver is checking it everyday.
Definitely a thumbs up for this activity.
Blue Envelope - Parrot Mask
We got everything we needed to make the parrot mask. Oliver did all the colouring, cutting and sticking, it was really easy to follow and he really enjoyed making it, especially cutting the paper to make it look like feathers, he was very pleased with what he had made as you can tell by the picture.

Oliver loves the cut out certificate on the bottom of the box too.
I think the Mini Box is a big hit especially for parents with very little time who want to do something exciting with there children.
