NOTE: We are designing our own activity kits for this purpose based on what we think will be fun and creative experience for our kids especially considering our hands-on experience with hosting PlayDates before. Most available online are the themed decors box packages—we’d like to provide something different as our focus for themed playdate-in-a-box & have these designed with the Filipino child in mind

"WHAT TO DO AT THE PARTY?" is the question we’d like to provide an answer for…hence, we’re introducing this as a creative alternative AND supplemental activity for us all. (including myself since I have a son too and I’m finding it hard to keep up with unique ideas for his upcoming parties hehehe)

We understand how challenging and time-consuming planning for our kids’ parties nowadays are—these in-a-box options may not only be used for birthdays, but other events as well—it could just be for a Saturday or after-school playdate with your children and their friends in the comfort of your home or neighborhood…

GETTING MARRIED SOON? Worried about having bored and antsy kids at your reception? Want a creative way to keep your kiddie guests entertained? Here’s a solution for the bride who also wants to incorporate kids in her most important milestone and give them an experience that they will enjoy as well.

*Note* We can also host on-site. Pls inquire rates of packages. THANKS!

We’ve also been talking about our search for accredited PlayDate hosts out there since last year and we’ve already gotten quite a list of interested individuals in this unique concept. Aside from established party planners as possible candidates—we can’t think of better hosts than our supermoms out there!!! You can do this as a business on the side as well while your kids are also at play your own "tupperware party" business so-to-speak.

sooooo excited!

10 Compelling Reasons To Use Arts And Craft For Kids by Dalene Joubert

The merits of arts and craft for kids are regularly argued…especially for the real impact they have on child development.

If you have a kid or are involved with them, the following list of compelling reasons will dismiss any doubt you have merely seeing arts and craft for kids as some pleasurable activity.

Indeed, you will also realize that arts and craft can be a valuable aid to improve child development. And if carefully selected, will give longlasting and splendid rewards.

1. Creativity

Most people spontaneously state creativity as the first personality characteristic arts and craft will develop.

And it is correct.

Everyone has natural skills and talents. And it is possible to radically improve and boost them… even if you only have a little natural talent.

Creativity enables your child to try out and benefit from new ideas, options and alternatives in any future career. Kids learn to do things in new ways and literally profiting from thinking
"out of the box".

2. Perseverance

Perseverance is regularly stated as the single most important quality for any successful business person, sportsman, professional or individual.

In fact, most well-known breakthroughs in life have been attributed to perseverance alone.

And fortunately, arts and craft improve everyone’s perseverance.

Kids learn to keep trying until they finish any task. And if something goes wrong… they simply persist by trying new ways and means.

3. Concentration

Similar to having perseverance, developing concentration is probably the second best quality any successful individual can have.

Arts and craft will definitely teach your child to focus on one specific task at hand… ignoring other distractions. In short, concentration will definitely improve.

4. Delayed Gratification

Delaying gratification is an exceptionally important characteristic to reach meaningful long-term goals… especially in future careers.

Many studies have shown that lack of this characteristic continues even in adult life. People focus only on short term results… making it very difficult to reach meaningful long- term
goals.

Without this quality, kids will always want a result now!

It may even influence your child’s career decision.

5. Social Interaction

Arts and craft teach social interaction when working and interacting in smaller groups.

Communication among friends is also improved.

6. Task Completion

All arts and craft help kids develop a sense of satisfaction on task completion.

Not only is this ability important for scholastic performance, but you’ll also reap the benefits in adult life.

Together with perseverance it eliminates giving up before a task is completed or even being distracted to focus on other interesting things.

7. Planning

Many experts have emphatically stated that careful planning is the basis of all great achievements.

Arts and craft also teach kids to…
- follow a recipe or plan to completion
- systematically and logically do things, and…
- formulate new ideas and thoughts.

8. Expression Of Emotions

Experience teaches us that things do not always work out as planned. And most of us then find it hard to express our frustrations.

But, here’s the most important part. Arts and craft will surely go a long way to teach expression of emotions. They learn to handle frustrations and to just keep on trying.

9. Openness

Many adults have great ideas and solutions to many problems. Yet, for fear of criticism few ever do anything with the ideas.

This is sad and definitely avoidable.

Parents can equip their children to effectively handle this problem.

A great quality all arts and craft for kids develop is allowing and opening up for feedback, critique and comments.

A vital, yet often lacking quality in those adults that never try out their ideas.

10. Self Image

Arts and craft improve your child’s self image. Finding success in the other qualities, it is inevitable that some sense of self-worth rubs off.

Frankly, it’s a quality that will do anyone’s self image and confidence a world of good.

These are only a few compelling reasons why you must consider arts and craft as a critical part of kids’ development.

With benefits ranging from mere enjoyment to developing long-lasting, superb adult-life qualities, take the time to fully explore and benefit from arts and craft for kids.
