Spurbox Joy Box - Do It Yourself Arts and Crafts

I didn't know that Spurbox has shifted to a new location. They used to be at POMO, Dhoby Ghaut. I brought Ethan to attend a baking-storytelling-artsncrafts class during March holidays, and he enjoyed it a lot.

Spurbox has this Joy Box craft box where it gets delivered directly to your home / office. Each box comes with eight types of arts and crafts. There are different themes as well suitable for boys and girls from two to ten years old. You may try out the trial box first and decide if you would like to go for the six months subscription.

I bought a trial box for Ethan which has a bugs / insects theme. We loved it as the arts and crafts are so simple to make. Most of the materials are packed together without us having to buy any additional items.



Bee

We tried painting the bee's body with black paint to make the stripes. But because of the material of this yellow coated paper plate, we were unable to colour even when using a marker. Our last resort was to paste two white papers on to the body, then colour it with black marker. 

Sometimes, we just need to tweak a little bit with whatever materials we have on hand. Or when things failed in this case. Ethan added a pair of eyebrows for the bee too. 


Lady Bug

What a great way to craft using a disposable plastic spoon. I have never thought of this. We did not have a paint brush so we used a toothbrush. Cool huh?


Paper Plate Snail

I dislike the idea of using glue as it tend to get messy. So all the arts were made using double sided tapes which was still not too bad.


Spider

Thanks to Ethan's poncho or he would have painted all over himself. The paint provided was washable anyway, so it was still okay.


Clothes Peg Dragonfly

We used magic pens instead of paint to colour the clothes peg.


Ants

What a great way to make use of an egg carton.


Butterfly

Look at the yellow butterfly which was folded by Ethan. Both our butterflies were completed using different methods. I love his creativeness.


Clothes Peg Caterpillar

The easiest task of all. Simply apply some glue or stick a tape on the clothes peg. After some touching up on the colourful fur balls, googly eyes..and tata you are done!
