Green Kid Crafts subscription boxes use an earth-friendly approach to packaging and materials. Compared with other kits, they minimize plastic packaging by combining multiple crafts into a single package where appropriate, using recyclable material, and giving materials more than one purpose. As an example, in the kit reviewed here, there are instructions for converting the box it arrives in into a weather vane using additional materials you likely already have such as construction paper, scissors, and a pencil. In addition, one tree is planted for each order, so your purchase supports global reforestation efforts while educating your child.
