DIY Kids Craft Subscription Kit

December 4, 2014 By Julie Anne 10 Comments

DIY craft of the month kit

I have seen many monthly subscription kits around for kids lately. I guess this must be kind of a trendy thing right now?

Whenever I come across art subscription boxes I think to myself man, my daughter would love to get something like this. However, when I look at the annual price tag and what’s included in the boxes I also can’t help but think you could put together something similar for much less.

So I decided to make one myself. I also put together a printable pack with easy to follow instructions so that you too can easily assemble a kit for the craft loving child in your life.

Do-It-Yourself Craft A Month Kit

Monthly Craft Ideas

January Sock snowman Kit

February Valentines card Kit

March Puppet Kit

April Flower pot kit

May Bird feeder kit

June Bug catching jar kit

July Firecracker flag craft kit

August Paper doll and fabric kit

September Decorate notebook Kit

October monster glove kit

November Scarecrow Popsicle stick craft kit

December Snow globe kit

Here is the printable packet you can use to put together your own craft of the month kit.

The first page is for you to print and add to the box with your craft kit bags. It tells the gift recipient what crafts are included for each month and what additional supplies they may need.

The next two pages list everything you will need to assemble each months kit.

The last two pages are instructions for you to cut out and add to each bag. This will allow the recipient to be able to properly assemble the craft.

Here are some images of the bags as I was putting the kits together.

I think this would be a super fun gift for any craft loving child to receive. Also, it would be super easy to customize for each gift recipients taste and abilities.

I hope that this helps you create a DIY craft a month kit for your child. Enjoy!

If you have a chance to make your own kit I would love to hear about it! Please comment and let me know.

    I love this idea. I have also seen those monthly subscriptions. But there too expensive. I will be trying your idea. I would like to give a box to my daughter and my two nieces. I have arranged a budget of $20 for three craft boxes. I can get all the material at dollar store. and will only be spending $6 tops per box. will see how it works.

    What Age group(s) do you think these crafts are for? I’m thinking about doing this for Christmas. I’m wracking my brain trying to think of ideas for 9 (with another on the way) grandkids. Ages from 15mo to 13 yrs. The 8 & ups are so much into electronics but, still like doing crafts and I thought this would be a great idea to do family activities and not break the bank for gifts.

    Thank you so much for posting this. I was searching for ideas to make DIY monthly kids for my grandkids for Christmas. I love the thought of the monthly subscription boxes but not the price tag and We have 10 grandkids. It’s hard to figure out ideas for them. I plan to make up packs for all ten (slight changes for ages) for Christmas presents. Then have their parents take pictures or videos to send me each month as they complete them. 🙂
