Not to toot our own horn, but we're just SO excited about our latest news! Three of our awesome National Geographic craft kits have been singled out and awarded prizes by Creative Child Magazine! This means so much to us because these awards are chosen by moms, music educators and early education professionals rather than stuffy old judges with no knowledge of what kids LOVE!
Receiving the 2012 Seal of Excellence, our Sumi-e Artist Kit explores Japanese painting techniques. Your child can create a one-of-a-kind scroll masterpiece using an authentic bamboo brush and ink. They can also stamp their finished piece with their own personalized chop! This kit takes refrigerator art to a whole new level!
Next up is one of my personal favorites! Our Confetti Sculpting Paper-mache Kit rocks and Creative Child thought so too! They awarded it the 2012 Preferred Choice Award. Included is an instruction guide to create an erupting volcano, but if you're not interested in fiery explosions, we also showcase a bunch of other ideas to get your imagination going.
And lastly but by no means leastly (leastly?), only one product per category can win the coveted Toy of the Year Award and WE DID IT! Our Dinosaur Fossil Sand Clay Sculpting Kit is just so cool! You can create your own dinosaur fossils using clay that looks just like sand and if you really want to show off, you can make a dinosaur tooth necklace that will wow everyone you meet!
Check out these and many more National Geographic craft kits at your nearest Walmart or JoAnns Superstores!
What crafts do your children LOVE to create? Answer in the comments below for your chance to win one of three fabulous National Geographic craft kits.
Up for grabs are the Stencil Artist Kit, Junior Botanist Set and the Dinosaur Fossil Kit.
Contest ends August 22nd, midnight est.
Good luck!

My son would love to sculpt with the fossil kit, but my daughter enjoys painting. They love to craft and create, but the kits often get them started on new techniques or ideas that help them stretch their skills.

My nephew loves anything that can be classified as art. He has even scrapbooked with me. He is more interesting in drawing right now than paper crafting though.
