Here’s a Tried and True review of a great gift for kids by Guest Blogger and mother of two young boys, our very green, CarrieLou W.
If you’re looking for a great holiday gift for kids, think inside the box, or in this case, inside the kit. The kit, made with recycled materials and printed with water based inks, is actually the EARTH KIT FOR KIDS.
Packed with inspirational ideas and useful items, this kit will motivate any eco challenged kid, or adult, for that matter. The kit contains: THE EVERYTHING KIDS’ ENVIRONMENT BOOK, a 100% organic cotton GO GREEN t-shirt, GO GREEN dog tag, BPA-free water bottle, a seeded download card w/2 free songs that can be planted after use, a GREEN AT HEART bracelet, a KIDS GO GREEN certificate of recognition, and my favorite, a planted tree on your behalf by American Forests.
My two boys (ages 5 and 10) certainly enjoyed receiving this green gift. When the kit arrived, (no excess packaging here) they were excited to discover all of the contents. The older one gravitated toward the T-shirt, download card, and water bottle while the younger one liked the dog tag and bracelet.
They both thought the book was cool as this book really does have EVERYTHING! Included are earth friendly puzzles, pictures to color, a glossary of definitions, resources for environmental groups, web sites, and too numerous to list ways to help save the environment. I wish this book were part of my 4th graders school curriculum as this book helps kids understand the concept: THINK GLOBALLY, ACT LOCALLY.
Overall, the Earth Kit was a big hit! My 10 year old son now doesn’t go to school without the water bottle and even wanted to keep the box for “treasures” (baseball cards, ticket stubs, etc.) THE EARTH KIT FOR KIDS will definitely be on our TO GIVE list this holiday season.
