Review and Giveaway: $50 Gift Certificate to HearthSong and Big Box of Art Materials Review

Pin It
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?  Well if you haven't, don't panic, you still have time to find some original and thoughtful gifts that the kids will love.  A great place to do that is HearthSong.  At HearthSong you will find a variety of items for every kid on your list.  


We were thrilled to receive the Big Box of Art Materials from HearthSong.  There are so many things in this box, I know my kids will be busy for months to come.  There are different varieties of paper, stickers, foam and felt shapes, picture frames, burlap, leather, buttons, beads, I could go on and on.  The box also came with a page full of ideas for the supplies.  This is the perfect gift for parents and teachers who don't have time to go and buy all the individual components or for those looking for a little inspiration.

Included in our Big Box of Art Materials were all these colorful buttons.  I decided to use the red and green ones and the red and green felt pieces included to decorate one of the frames with glue.

The kids had a great time gluing the pieces on the frame!

What do you think?  These frames  would make great grandparent gifts.  Just tape a picture inside, stick a magnet on the back and it's ready to hang on the refrigerator.
