The Tiny Seed literature-based activity kit from Ivy Kids



Ivy Kids is a literature-based monthly subscription kit that comes packed with about a dozen ready-made activities based around the common theme of the book for the month (which is also included). This is truly a wonderful resource, especially for busy moms who don’t have the time to prepare such thoughtful, well-planned, creative, educational activities for their kids. Everything you need is included (even the book). These kits truly make life easier and WAY more fun for parents and kids alike!

 

April’s Ivy Kids Monthly Activity Kit is based upon The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. This Ivy Kids box was chock full of awesome seed and plant-related activities!

Little Brother thought exploring the seeds with his magnifying glass was pretty great. He also loved getting to plant his very own flowers.

This board game is lots of fun and simultaneously teaches both the things that benefit a plant (sunlight, water, and fresh air) and also those things that can harm a plant (insects, people stomping on them, etc).

You simply can’t have a garden without birds! Instead of eating the seeds that you plant, offer them seeds in their very own birdhouse. Little Brother enjoyed assembling and painting this birdhouse.

Again, EVERY SINGLE THING needed for ALL of these activities (from seeds and soil to paint and glue) is included in this box, just like every other box that arrives monthly.

 

We love Ivy Kids not only because of the amazing and developmentally-appropriate activities, but also because it takes the burden off of parents. Instead of having to think of activities (or search for them), plan for the activities, prepare the materials, and then actually do them throughout the month, all you have to do is open the box and start having fun while learning and playing with your child! It doesn’t get better (or simpler) than that!
