iNbox is in!

Happy day for Nayaka as he received a big box of fun!

Creativity unveiled!

Here's a bit of iNbox, it is a box filled with activities for your kids from 3-7 years old. What i love about it is that, it reminds me of the good old days of the 80s when there were less of cartoons on tv or high-tech gadgets and we as kids just need to extend our imagination of play.

Im surprised that the box is quite big! Opening up the box, there a numerous individual 'mini-projects' that actually linked to a theme. This April theme is Colour Scientist. My Nayaka is soon to be 3, so we tried to follow the instruction, however in the end he is more entertained by his own way of play.


THE COLOR LAB
The objective is simply just to learn about colors by mixing it. This one is definitely Nayaka's personal rave, he was screaming "Look mama, its purplee! Look mama, its Pink! Look mama, its blaackk, yaayy! and on and on and on. He had fun even being charged of changing the water. We havent got enough of this till the next 2 days.
Love the cute test tubes and its holder















THE SPRAY PAINTING
This really reminds me of my childhood days! But Nayaka is a one clean freak (for instance: he requested his mouth to be wiped out after each scoop of soup) He asked me to do the toothbrush paint spraying so he don't need to dirty his hand. In the end, mama do the job, he just glance at it.
Can you see the 2 butterflies and the flower?















THE MAGICAL KALEIDOSCOPE
The reason why i chose the April iNbox theme is because of this. i have always fascinated and wanted to know about DIY kaleidoscope, and they did a great job in making it simple yet fun! (now now.. how come mommy more excited than the little scientist?)

Ma, why are you slightly orangish?

Kaleidoscope done!









































FLINTO IN CREAMY LAND
This board game might be too complicated for a 3 years old, however he learn quite a few things about rules and restriction... for 5 minutes. Then Nayaka decides to change the marble figures into his car toys and they gonna have a race day instead.

Boys and his car toys




























WHO IS PAGERA?
A clever storybook is always welcomed in our home! i like the moral of the story and how it has an intriguing plot with happy ending. Nayaka directly relate himself with Quinto, the main character, who is a brave little octopus, and im happy to set Quinto as an example of him being a good big brother to his little sister, Nadia. :)

THE SWEET & SOUR NOTE
1. I love how iNbox provided detailed materials and packed to the individual mini-projects. (i love the Apron too!)
2. The quality of the materials given are well adjusted to try-on, though i doubt it will last for a month. (iNbox comes as a monthly subscription)
3. The content of iNbox is very creative and inspiring, as a mom, i would definitely get a subscription once my Nayaka grow a little bigger, as he will be more appreciative to the arts and crafts.
4. As someone who work in creative industry, i do find the characters and the colours can be graphically more interesting, given the story is well written. We love going to libraries and it is filled with exciting pictures for simple stories that personally inspires me even as an adult.
5. Even though Nayaka is fascinated with the mini projects, i do find parent's participation is really important to narrate the stories. Not just because to explain about things work, but also that sparks of creativity that slowly building up for both kid and parent, you will be amazed how your kid is such an amazing learner and more imaginative than you! :)

and... as an addition, there is a GIVEAWAY going on at R&R site! For mommies who wanna try it out in longer term, iNbox has different subscription with even customised content too, one great idea for a bday party presents for kiddies.

Starts having fun while learning and let me know what you think of it too ya!
