First Wonder Box- all about Bugs


After enjoying reviewing 'First Wonder Box, Rainforests' we subscribed to 'First Wonder' subscription boxes. You can read our first review here.
The next box we received was all about bugs! With the warmer weather it was the perfect box.


What's included?

This fab box comes jam packed with

  1. A bugs activity book
  2. Bee sewing craft kit
  3. Ladybird racer toy (pull back racer)
  4. Bee pencil with honey bee eraser
  5. Small Magnifying glass
  6. Two collectable cards
  7. Stickers
  8. Dice

Activity book

We love the activity books that are included in each 'First wonder' boxes. The activity book includes word searches, colouring, dot to dot, mazes, lots of facts, design your own bug and much much more. It's also great to see the mini challenge at the end of each booklet. Once completed the children fill in the certificate at the back and can happily cut that out to stick on the wall/fridge. 

Toys

Each box comes with a toy. The toy is relevant to the theme of the box, so this box includes a lovely pull-back ladybird racer. Kids have played with it non stop, and it's nice to receive a toy...my kids want to know what the toy is as soon as they see the box!

Activities

This box has a collection of great activities to do, and I thought I'd mention some of the activities we've managed to do and those we are going to do very soon. 


The activity book has a colourful chart of insects that you can check off if seen, and it's brilliant that a magnifying glass has been included. Children love being out and about, and looking for bugs is always a hit. 

The box also includes a great game. It's 'Race to the hive' and follows a similar pattern to well known board games such as 'Snakes and ladders'. I really like the fact that the board is the box (printed on the inside). It's always a huge positive to recycle in the home, and this is recycling in our living room! The counters are also printed on the card and just need to be cut out. With a little add ons using the stickers the players are ready to go (dice included). 

I'm excited about our bee sewing craft that we will be doing soon. Little person loves the idea of sewing/stitching so this is perfect for him!

Collectable cards


Each box comes with two cards. We have a lovely album for the cards (from 'First Wonder'). Little person has tried to collect a few things over time, but never really got into the swing of things, however he has found this so much more fun. 

Activities wise, the box is full of things to do, the activity book alone provides hours of fun and games. 

As with the rainforest box, we have enjoyed this box too. It's full of fun and games, lots of smiles and giggles, and a great family time adventure. 
Don't forget there is a Home educators discount available.

Yipee adventure box - bug hunting theme

Yippee adventure box - bug hunting theme box  We  received  the marvellous Yippee  adventure box to trial, and after having enjoyed the  activities  with both 7 and 3 year old,  I  felt a review was worthwhile.  Yippee boxes are  designed  to encourage science,  technology, engineering, art and maths (STEAM), and 'To  facilitate fun and special family  experiences.' Upon opening the 'Bug box' both kids were  overwhelmed   with  the contents and eagerly dived in, so off we were, on our yippee  adventure! What's in the box? The bug box arrived with two categories of activities, 'Bug homes' and 'Go on a bug adventure'.  Bug homes Bug homes activities  were all about that, making, creating and designing homes for  little  creatures. The  first  activity little person dived into was, making his  spider web and spider. The activities can be easily carried out by children, except using the scissors..

Fusha House arabic

I was kindly offered the opportunity to complete a free session using FushaHouse arabic. Arabic has been a language that I've always wanted to learn, and it's also a language I've been passionate about. As little person has taken to writing and reading in English, Arabic was the second language I wanted him to learn. When learning a language, it is important to find resources that are easy to use, especially for younger learners. Over time I have tried so many books, apps and websites, but if the resource isn't exciting or encapsulating, young leaners loose interest very quickly. There is nothing worse than spending so much money and zero use. Nevertheless, I believe we have found a resource that ticks all the boxes. FushaHouse offers interactive learning, it is also child user friendly and the pace enables children to feel at ease, without feeling overwhelmed very quickly into the process. A lot of language resources seem to very quickly move on from basics to

Endangered animals activity pack

We recently received this wonderful fact filled pack from Archiboldclutterbuck (to read more about Archiboldclutterbuck  resources click here). Contents and what we think The pack is made up of an activity booklet and a poster. The poster is a great visual tool; with in depth (but not overbearing-too much to read) information about 6 critically endangered animals across the globe. Each animal is listed with a fact file (for instance type of animal, habitat etc), and reason as to why they are critically endangered. For each animal listed there is a beautiful photograph; I do believe having photography in such posters and texts is important , as it really does bring the whole concept and idea to 'life'. We love the poster as it's a great size, vibrant and easy to understand, with all the vital information but without too much to read, making it a perfect poster!  The activity pack is what you would ideally expect when teaching endangered animals. Learning fo
