Activities for 4-6 Year Olds - Weekend Box Review

Come the weekend I often struggle to find things for Little Prince to do. Being offered the chance to review the Weekend Box was just what I needed.

When I first heard of the Weekend Box I thought it was just a cooking/baking activity but as LP and I opened up the box on Saturday morning I was pleasantly surprised. Inside the box were four different coloured packs, each containing a different activity.

LP stood in the kitchen and opened up the first pack, an Aztec Parrot. I have to say he wasn't impressed with having to paint, he doesn't like painting. After a little encouragement he began to enjoy it and painted the parrot's body. We put it to one side to dry and while we waited we moved on to the second pack.

This pack contained the things we needed to make a mosaic coaster. LP chose a pattern and I helped him cut out his shapes. I drew his pattern on the card and LP set about sticking down his mosaic pieces. He really enjoyed this activity and didn't want me to help at all.

Once the mosaic coaster was finished we checked on our drying parrot body. It was dry and LP chose googley eyes and feathers to stick onto the body. He struggled a little bit with sticking the feathers onto the body and I helped. He was impressed with the result and hurried into the lounge to show it to his father. 

Next was the hot chocolate, LP had been looking forward to this because there was chocolate that needed to be tested first! Following the instructions was easy and LP loved that he was making something. When the ingredients were mixed together and the chocolate had melted I poured the mixture into mugs. LP tried his hot (warm) chocolate and said it was yummy. He took the mug in to show his father, he was very proud of himself. 

LP really enjoyed the activities in the Weekend Box. Even though he didn't like painting he got past that and had fun with the activities. For 4-6 year olds the Weekend Box is a great little activity pack with varying activities. I'd recommend it to anyone with children this age.
