How often do your children complain about being bored, every day, every other day? The likelihood is they have plenty to keep them entertained most of this involving screen time. Screen time is fine in moderation but excessive screen time isn’t the best for our children. Children as we all know need continuous stimulation to keep them entertained and their brains active. Mine love to do arts and crafts, play with their toys and also get lost in their own little world of imaginative play. Naturally I try to encourage anything that will mean that the children are not stuck in front of a screen for hours so when contacted by weekend box to review their weekly subscription service I thought I would give it a go as I have never had the opportunity to review a subscription box of any kind before and it sounded like fun.
The box fits nicely through the letter box and of course they have thought of everything by addressing it to the child it is for. The items included can vary from week to week with arts and crafts goodies allowing them to make something or baking goodies to get them in the kitchen with mum baking something yummy. You can also choose from mini boxes £4.95 which contain 2 activities or bumper boxes £7.50 which contain 4 activities. This product is suitable for ages 3-8 and is non toxic.
When our box arrived of course mini Miss was super excited – who wouldn’t be! Her box contained 2 different sets of face paint as these guys have teamed up with Snazaroo to include some of their products. One that had stamps with different coloured paint and the other was a set for a child to be make up as a tiger. Of course she wanted to use the stamps.
These can also be used on the hands / arms should you prefer.
Here is mini Miss showing everyone what she found when she opened the box:
Mr Squishy was extremely excited when he discovered we had face paints. He decided he wanted to be a scary tiger. This was the first time he had had his face painted so he was moving around all over the place making it hard to paint him – he’s almost 3 so we’ll forgive him. He loved being a tiger!
Mummy’s Little Tiger
When he had finished running around roaring and pretending to be a tiger it was time to remove the paint. Out came the trusty wet wipes and Mr Squishy wiped for a bit until he got bored. Although I tried to help him, he wouldn’t keep still so ended up running around looking like a minion for the rest of the day which was hilarious.
The box seemed reasonably priced as between the two packs we got 6 face paints, a sponge, 3 stamps and a small paint brush. The children enjoyed using this and have been given the package to use as they wish as it means they can enjoy imaginative play time that bit more. I think the larger pack would be a great option for those with more than one child or that need activities to keep children entertained over the week and weekend.

I love the idea of a kids subscription box as I think it gives them something fun to look forward to x
It sure does plus you don’t know what you will get each week.
I’m so glad that companies have introduced such products that greatly help mothers in keeping their children busy. My son has never got face painting done, so not sure how he would react to it. Your kids look really cute!
It’s one of those things that children love. My girls love to have pretty designs on their faces and hands.
My kids love subscription boxes. Not sure I would want one filled with just face paints though!
They are different each time which is good. Mine love face paints so for us this was perfect as we had run out.
This looks like a fab subscription box for kids – might have to get one for Jack
He’s going to love it!!!!
These boxes are great, what fun the kids have and the fact they contain Snazaroo face paints makes them an absolute bargain. Mich x

It is perfect for creative play.
This sounds like a really good box – I loved face paint when I was younger! I think most children love it.
They sure do. I hope to have a go on Mr Squishy again soon.
Loving the idea of a children’s subscription box! I bet my two would love to get their hands on one of these! 🙂

This is such a cool idea! would be a perfect gift for Christmas / Birthdays
It does make a great gift, children love this sort of thing.
A kids subscription box is such a cute idea! My little bro would love one of these 🙂
It is a great idea isn’t it. I love there are different sized boxes too.
I think this is a great idea and definitely something that would also make a nice gift for birthdays and Christmas. I always try to put stuff together for my nieces and nephews x

It’s a great idea for children, the fa e paint looks really good!

Wow what a fab idea! I love that the subscription boxes are a thing for children now. Makes for a nice surprise and treat for the kids.
It is a great idea isn’t it and is a great way to keep them occupied.
I would have loved this when I was a kid! It’s nice to have the surprise of what’s inside.
It does make it exciting for the little ones.
Totally love subscription boxes so it’s great to see one for children :)x
It sure is a nice idea for the children to have one.
What a great idea! I love the idea of a box to keep the children amused and occupied at the weekend, especially if it is one the whole family can get involved in. This seems like a perfect choice, given what the box contained.
It was a good box especially for my children. They’ve loved using the face paints. They use them themselves now for their own little games.
This is such a fun box and to keep them occupied on the weekends too – especially if it’s wet outside!
It sure is perfect for rainy weather.
We bought a few weekend boxes when they first came out (many years ago) but we weren’t very impressed with them. They look so much better nowadays though! It’s good to see that they’ve improved them as the years have gone by 🙂

They have different items each week so it depends on what your children are into. I think maybe you should try them again x
Such a cute idea! Not seen anything like this before. He looks like he had lots of fun with that face paint!
He sure did. He even seemed to enjoy removing it himself too.
I love this idea! I am seriously considering this as a Christmas gift
The subscription would make a great Christmas gift.
