Scrapkins has done it again! In case you haven’t heard, ScrapKins aims to teach children how to be creative and resourceful, utilizing recycled materials in their arts and crafts. Now Brian Yanish, author of the Build-It Book and the founder of ScrapKins, has made thrifty crafting even easier with his latest endeavor: a crafting kit!

The ScrapKins Ship Builder DIY Craft Kit is the thriftiest crafting kit you’ll ever find. At first glance, it may seem like the kit doesn’t include many supplies, but that’s the beauty of the kit: it allows you to utilize materials you already have in the house, which instills resourcefulness in your children. Because you already have just about everything you need to make the project in this kit, you could easily use the instructions to recreate this project again and again, so you get more bang for your buck than you would with a traditional crafting kit.

This amazing crafting kit includes detailed instructions accompanied by step-by-step illustrations, so it’s incredibly easy for kids to follow along. The kit also includes stickers of the ScrapKins characters, as well as accessories for the pirate ship, so kids will have a blast decorating their ship and creating storylines with the ScrapKins gang.

This eco-friendly crafting kit is the perfect boredom buster on rainy afternoons. Once you and your crafty kiddos are done making this project, they’ll have a fun homemade toy that really floats! Teaching your children resourcefulness while inspiring their creative side is one of the best things you can do for them, so once you are finished with your ScrapKins kit, challenge yourselves to make other amazing art projects from your recyclables and turn junk into treasured time together.
