The Weekend Box Update

Around this time last year I was given the chance to review The Weekend Box. This box was packed full of activities aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 8, the idea was to stop bordem from setting in on those weekends when perhaps you have nothing planned or bad weather stops play.

A year on and Weekend Box are still going strong, so good that in November of last year they won Start Up Of The Year at the Start-Up Loan competition in London.

Since reviewing last, there have been a few changes and I happen to think these improvements are very effective but the good news is that they still remain at the great price of £7.50 per box and you receive one every fortnight.

So what's changed? Firstly the actual box has had a small make over. The box can now be closed meaning activities can now be transported without getting lost, fantastic if your children plan on staying at say nannie's house and want to take their box with them.

Secondly each weekend box now comes with a theme. Rather than 4 random activities, each activity now relates in some way to the others. My box followed the theme of Chinese New Year. The activities included making fortune cookies, paper plate drums, Chinese dragons and Chinese lanterns.

Weekend Box Review

I don't know about you but there are definitely times when I struggle to think of things to with my children, especially when the weather is cold, wet and windy and your stuck indoors. We always end up doing the same things, watching a DVD, baking cakes. Don't get me wrong, we always have fun but sometimes it is nice to find other activities to do and that is where Weekend Box can help.

Weekend Box is a new company that deliver activities for 3-8 year olds right through your door. Each box contains something to eat, something to make, something to explore and something green. And because they fit straight through the letterbox, you don't have to worry about being in for delivery.
