PROJECTS INCLUDED:
  • Tropical Skies Mixed-Media Art
  • Black Glue and Watercolor Ocean Shore
  • Island-in-a-Bottle Sensory Craft
  • Tide Pool Discovery STEAM Project
  • Kinetic Sand Visual Recipe
TROPICAL SKIES MIXED-MEDIA ART
Young artists will create their very own deserted island in this colorful mixed-media masterpiece! Pompoms become coconuts, cupcake liners turn into palm leaves, and real shells bring the sandy shore to life. Kids will also learn a clever color-transferring technique using foil and markers to make a stunning watercolor-style background.
BLACK GLUE AND WATERCOLOR OCEAN SHORE
This striking art project pairs bold black waves with a soft watercolor ocean. Kids will mix glue and sand to create a textured beach, then stir up homemade black glue to draw dramatic, wavy lines across the page. A wash of dreamy watercolor brings the whole scene together.
ISLAND-IN-A-BOTTLE SENSORY CRAFT
This tropical-themed sensory bottle is bursting with little treasures! Kids will scoop sand, drop in treasure pieces and shells, and tuck a rolled-up secret message inside. Give it a shake, and there's something new to discover every time.
TIDE POOL DISCOVERY STEAM PROJECT
In this science-meets-art project, kids will create their very own tide pool habitat! They'll learn about real tide pool creatures, draw their favorites, and use a paint-resist technique to add shimmering water. Real sand, shells, and pebbles bring this mini ecosystem to life.
KINETIC SAND VISUAL RECIPE
This hands-on visual recipe is all about sensory play! Kids will follow along step-by-step to mix sand, cornstarch, and a few simple ingredients to make their very own batch of squishy, moldable kinetic sand; a sensory experience little ones will want to repeat again and again.

Create Together Art Box is designed for ages 3-7.

Younger children will benefit from hands-on support, while older children can participate more independently. Projects are designed to grow with your child, with a focus on sensory, process-based play for younger ages and more detailed outcomes as skills develop. Also, depending on the age of the child, the results will look different; it is much more process and sensory oriented for a younger child.

Each box also includes step-by-step project video tutorials, providing additional guidance and making it easy to follow along at home.

Each activity is designed to be flexible and approachable.

Some can be completed in one sitting, while others can be spread out over multiple sessions. Most families use the box across several days, making it easy to fit into their routine.

  • Monthly Subscription: One box per month, billed monthly
  • 3-Month Subscription: Prepay for 3 boxes, 1 box delivered monthly. Renews every 3 months
  • 6-Month Subscription: Prepay for 6 boxes, 1 box delivered monthly. Renews every 6 months
