I even took OAC Art (okay, now I&#8217;m just dating myself). \u00a0For some reason or another though, once I started University (with a focus on\u00a0business), my creativity stopped along with my focus on the arts. \u00a0Unfortunately, I stopped drawing and creating.<\/p>\n<p>Having kids gave me renewed hope that I my passion for the arts will return with a vengeance. I couldn&#8217;t wait for my son to be old enough to do arts and crafts. \u00a0At two years, I signed him up for an art class that we&#8217;ve been going to ever since. \u00a0I was so proud of his first painting that I had it framed in his room. Earlier this year, he learned how to bead necklaces and bracelets in nursery school.<a href=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/602956_10151663217222393_1516099513_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4699\" alt=\"kyle's painting\" src=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/602956_10151663217222393_1516099513_n.jpg\" width=\"612\" height=\"612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/602956_10151663217222393_1516099513_n.jpg 612w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/602956_10151663217222393_1516099513_n-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/602956_10151663217222393_1516099513_n-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 612px) 100vw, 612px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While we hit up the local dollar store on a weekly basis for new art supplies, I&#8217;m always looking for new craft ideas. Something original and unique that we haven&#8217;t done before. \u00a0That&#8217;s why I was excited to try out PeekAPak, a new monthly box subscription program that&#8217;s all about crafting for your little ones. Each box comes with a story book and the three craft ideas based on the story. \u00a0The best part? All of the materials are included. From the safety scissors to the glue, fabrics, beads, ribbons and more. \u00a0It&#8217;s truly amazing because all of this material alone would cost more than the monthly subscription price.<a href=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/CAM00901.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4694\" alt=\"Peekapak\" src=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/CAM00901.jpg\" width=\"2340\" height=\"4160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/CAM00901.jpg 2340w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/CAM00901-168x300.jpg 168w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/CAM00901-576x1024.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2340px) 100vw, 2340px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/peekApak-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4696\" alt=\"peekApak turtle hat\" src=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/peekApak-1.jpg\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/peekApak-1.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/peekApak-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mayahoodblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/peekApak-1-1024x512.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><\/a>My son loved every aspect of the box including the story book itself. \u00a0While he enjoyed the crafts, he couldn&#8217;t do all of them by himself. \u00a0It&#8217;s important that parents do the crafts with their kids (especially if they&#8217;re around 3 &#8211; 5 years of age) as some require adult help and \/ or supervision. \u00a0That being said, he was able to do enough to feel included and independent. \u00a0We enjoyed doing this so much that I&#8217;m looking forward to next month&#8217;s box already.
