Spring Crafts with Mila & Pheebs
If you’d have asked me a year ago if I enjoyed doing crafts with the children, I’d have told you, without a moments hesitation, hell no!! But over the last few months, as the girls have got that little bit older, it is no longer the glue massacre that it once was, and actually we enjoy doing crafts together at least once a week.
When Mila & Pheebs asked my girls to be brand ambassadors for their beautiful subscription stationery and craft boxes, we were over the moon! Everyone knows just how obsessed I am with stationery, and the girls have definitely followed in my footsteps!
Having tried other subscription boxes previously, I was interested to see how these would be different and, at £10 a box (plus £2.99 UK postage), whether they would prove to be something that we would purchase throughout the year.
When our first box was delivered I loved that it was able to fit through the letterbox. As a blogger I spend half of my life down at the post office depot collecting parcels, so this was a pleasant change. Our first box was the Spring Box and contained –
- Chick pencil and eraser topper,
- Spring colouring-in sheets,
- Daffodil vase craft kit,
- Greeting cards and envelopes,
- Spring foam stickers,
- Ladybird eraser,
- Spring wordsearch,
- Duck mosaic wand kit,
- Memo pad craft kit,
- Colouring-in spot the difference,
- Butterfly foil stickers.
It’s safe to say, the girls were over the moon with all of their goodies!!!
Although the boxes are advertised as being aimed at children aged 6+, I feel that at 4 and 5, the girls were more than capable of enjoying the activities. Eva particularly enjoyed making the bee note pad with the sticky backed foam shapes and simple instructions to follow.
Megan chose to do the daffodil vase craft, which I did worry may be a little difficult as it was the most complicated of them all, but she really got stuck in and with a little help she was more than capable!
I love that how all of the pieces are ready prepared, all sticky backed so no need for glue, and the instructions are so easy to follow.
Lastly Eva made the duck mosaic wand, and told me that this one was her favourite ever craft due to the sparkly stickers!
With so much many more activities still left to do, the box could easily last the full month if we were to spread it out. I think for the cost of all of the craft supplies and stationery, for £10 these boxes are excellent value for money, and even for those who do not wish to commit to a monthly subscription, they would make a lovely treat for the children at various points throughout the year.
Thanks for sharing Laura, this looks like a really interesting box for kids, Eva and Megan seem to be loving the activities! My cousin would relish something like this! x
Lots of love,

They adore crafts of any kind, this box is particularly lovely! xx
Amazing crafts. Would love to try with my 3 year old.
They are so much fun! The girls love this kind of thing! xx
What an amazing subscription box, we used to love doing crafts when mine were little and I was always on the look out for cheap crafts to do. I really wish these would have been aroud at the time x
There was nothing like this when my eldest was young either, I had to trawl around craft shops and come up with my own ideas! xx
Ah what a lovely Spring craft I’ve not heard of this box before but it looks gorgeous so will definitely be keeping my eyes peeled!
It’s a fab subscription, and so many lovely crafts included! xx
This looks like so much fun! I love that it fit through the letterbox, perfect!
Definitely a bonus! x
What a lovely post. I can’t believe how popular these sort of crafts have got over the last few years!
I know! They are everywhere! It’s great that they are delivered to your home and everything included, makes life so much easier! xx
How cute! I love the daffodils. I might have to give them a go to brighten up my kitchen x
Good luck! x
Aww wow this looks amazing! What incredible craft activities for children to do, when my daughter is a bit older I’ll certainly look into subscribing to this – it looks like something we’d enjoy 🙂
The girls loved it, they are so excited to try another! xx
This looks like a great box for kids. Now that I have a little one I’ll definitely have to give it a try when she gets a little older. Thanks for sharing!

It’s definitely a fab activity to do together, the older they get the easier crafting becomes! xx
I love that the subscription box is filled with crafting items. There is nothing better than being creative!
It’s fab! The girls went crazy for it! xx
Haha I am with you on that one. Because I work early morning into the evening, I spend my life picking up millions of parcels so it is great that this one was compact enough to fit through the door. I love how colourful and bright the crafts are x
I’m on first name terms with the guys down at the post office depot! Haha! xx
This is such a great idea! I love doing crafts with the boys!
I love anything that is delivered through the door and makes life easier! x
This is pretty cute! I do have to agree with you though. When I was little I remember glitter flying, glue in weird places, papercuts. Eventually it calmed a little lol. I think it’s about the time when I started coloring inside the lines.
Haha yes! When they are very young crafts aren’t fun at all! I love that we are past that stage! xx
What a great way to teach them about the seasons as well as fine motor skills.
They are lovely themed boxes! xx
Love the daffodils and the look of concentration!
Good luck! xx
I love craft kits like this. Perfect for little people, and having some rewarding craft sessions. £10 is a good price to pay for some decent craft goods.
It’s a great price for what’s included! xx
This is pretty nice. I think I can use some of these for my youngest students in class!!
Its a fab craft set! xx
Opposite to you, I loved to do crafts when I was little but unfortunately we only had one hour a week to let our imagination go wild, in school. My parents would work until late afternoon each day and a subscription box like this would have definitely made me a happy kid.
Ahh yes, I would have loved to do this as a child too! xx
I am loving all of these ideas! I think these are really adorable and fun to make with the kids. I should really take note of these for when the kids come to visit.
The children love to do any kind of crafting! xx
I know my kids would enjoy doing this, I’ll have to keep these craft ideas in mind for the next rainy day : )
I can’t believe all of the different craft options there are these days, makes life a little more easy and enjoyable as a parent!
I know! There is so much available to entertain the kids these days! xx
Aww all these look super fun and your girls are gorgeous! I used to love crafting as a kid, I bet they really enjoy it!
Thank you Britta! xx
I’m loving these boxes! I’m going to order a subscription for each of my children’s families. It will be fun to see what creations the kids come up with
They are so much fun! xx
What lovely sets, i can see why you and the girls love them
They love stationery just as much as I do! xx
Thanks to everyone for their lovely comments and Laura thank you for such a lovely review. We’re so pleased the girls enjoy them 🙂
We loved the sets! Thank you! I just saw your email earlier, I will reply this evening! xx
