Kids :: Enjoy Summer with the BabbaBox
Have you ever woken up on summer morning, and asked “What am I going to do with my kids today”? Summer break is an amazing time of exploration, growth and bonding for you and yours. But it can also be taxing (ok, even maddening) for parents as we are faced with keeping our kids occupied all day with fun, enriching activities and picking up where school left off. As my daughter is still in kindergarten and only goes to school a few hours each day – there are some days when I ask myself what am I going to do today? My daughter loves to do crafts and science projects so we make frequent trips to the local craft store. But the time it takes me to research different projects and go to the store can be time-consuming and quite frankly expensive! Recently I came across a great company that does the work for you and has ready-to-go fun activities your kids. The BabbaBox Company offers some great activities to enjoy! Check out these serious scientists below!
The Benefits of a BabbaBox include:
1) Solutions built to fit your life. The BabbaBox is designed by parents who understand that different situations call for different solutions. While sitting down and spending an hour doing a project with your kids is fun, the reality is sometimes you are juggling dinner and need something they can do relatively independently.
I love how each BabbaBox includes solutions specifically designed for four different occasions that are part of all parents’ routines: TV Free Mornings, Sanity Saving Weeknight Activities, Purposeful Weekend Plan, and Story time.
2) Have fun while building critical thinking skills. The BabbaBox is about so much more than just arts & crafts. Each month includes a different combination of hands on projects, books, games, sensory activities, kid-friendly science, imaginative play and more. Everything that is included in the box is designed by BabbaCo’s early childhood experts to develop important critical thinking skills – of course while having a ton of fun in the process. So you can feel good about your kids learning and having fun while you do what you have to do – such as cook dinner or other work. I limit the amount of time my daughter gets on the iPad so this is a great alternative to time spent on these devices!
Summer Survival Box Themes:
June: Deep Sea Take a voyage to the bottom of the sea, enjoy a colorful book about some of our favorite creatures, make and plan an adorable fishing game, plus so many oceany activities.
July: Camouflage Animals Where’d who go? Not only is camouflage on animals totally cool, but it also services a purpose – to help protect them. This month we will learn about all the amazing kinds of camouflage, play a little hide and seek ourselves and other well disguised fun!
August: Pirate Treasure Bring your sea legs! This will be aarugably our most fun theme yet, as we set out on an adventure, pirate-style. We will sing songs, meet famous pirates through an amazing book and become experts in life on the high seas!”
So if you are in need of a fun and educational activity for the kids over the summer break – check out what the BabbaBox has to offer! Because a busy and engaged kid makes for a happy household!

I was looking into this for the kids last night. I also am interested in ‘Little Passports.” Thanks for the review! 🙂
