Creativity inside the box

Creativity inside the box
I love living in Boston, but every once in a while something so great comes along that it gives me serious New York envy. The Moomah NYC creative arts cafe is one of those things.
But for those of us not within taxi distance of their organic cafe, cool classes, and drop-in kids craft station, they're offering some of their craft projects now in handy kits just in time for holiday gift-giving. These kits include everything -- down to the kid's scissors -- so you can bring the arts home, or really, anywhere you go. 
I love the Imagination Creation Do-It-Together Kit because it's perfect for all ages (or at least those that won't try to eat the little pieces) and you really won't know what your kids are capable of making with feathers, an accordion book, glue crayons, stamps and sundry other supplies until they're done. It's also nice that they're meant for parents and kids to do together, because we all know that that's often the best gift of all.

Check out the Moomah NYC Etsy shop for their entire kit selection all created by local NYC artists--from superhero kits to those that let kids make their own sculptures, shadowboxes, and jewelry. It's a great way to make "I'm bored!" a cry of the past. - Roxanna
