Testimonials

This is our second year with Shirley’s Prepackaged Crafts. Originally, we met Shirley and her husband at the MACHE conference. (I believe they were both wearing a craft on their head.) With four boys at home, ages 4, 6, 9 and 11, I needed something for the “youngers” to do with me while the “olders” finished their seatwork. Well, the crafts are so great that the older boys asked when their kit was coming in the mail. When I told them that the crafts were for the younger two, they said “AWWWW! Why aren’t there any crafts for the older kids?” Well, now we do the craft kits as a family. I pair up 1 older/younger and they help each other complete the crafts. Sometimes I also have the olders look up more information about a holiday, animal, etc. based on the craft. Many of the projects end up taped to our front door. The Armor of God is still their absolute favorite. Bless you for making our christian homeschool experience a little easier!!!

I am very impressed at the detail that has gone into the first month’s kit. The way you have encouraged us as parents both spiritually and emotionally as well as included many, many items to keep the kids busy. I am so excited to see what next month brings. Do you have any leftover packages from previous years that you are looking to sell? I would love to get a few for next summer – take care and good luck with your first week of school with the boys.

marin-small Shirley—

I was impressed with your ideas and organization when I visited with you at the MACHE convention, but I am even more impressed now that I’ve received my first box of materials. I love the suggestions, the reading and snack ideas, etc. Very easy to use and perfect for my situation! I am schooling our oldest 3 (grades 4, 3, and 1), and we have a 3 year old, a 1 year old, and new baby due 1/4/09. This is just what I’ve been looking for to use with my 3 year old. She needs some “school time” with Mom, without it being too academic. It’s really more about time together than getting a jump on her academic education. Thanks for a great product! I’ll be recommending you to my homeschooling friends!

I so enjoyed the October crafts! They are simple, thoughtful, organized and give room for the story of God. Thanks for your efforts. I hope to be able to order often.

PS – I finnally got smart and put “Order crafts” on my calendar so that I don’t miss the “cut-off day.” Yeah! Hope your sweet home business is going well. I definitely value it. (you have me hooked) :)

Shirley’s Prepackaged Crafts are terrific! What a wonderful way to spend meaningful time with my preschooler, that didn’t take me hours to orchestrate. While planting seeds of God’s love and an appreciation for all He has created, my daughter made some exciting crafts and at an amazingly affordable price. After just two days she announced, “I love doing crafts!” Thanks so much!

A grateful mom,

We just got our box and are very excited to start our crafts – it all looks great and very orginized. It’s fun to have a product which has me anticipating my sixth round of preschool/toddler activities. In fact my five older daughters envy “the box”. What an encouragement for the school year!

Thanks again,

Wow! This is great! It is very easy to use and everything I need comes in a box. It requires no planning, yet my children get a fun, creative project to work on. My two little girls (ages 3 and 4) both love the variety of projects. An added bonus is the booklet we made together with all the treasured memories; what a great keepsake!

Before this, I didn’t have the time to do special projects with my two youngest children. All my time was used in planning meals, schooling my older chldren and keeping up with day-to-day activities. I just couldn’t plan one more thing. This is the answer. Thank you so much for the smiles on my girls’ faces as we complete a fun-filled project together. We love it!

My two year old loved Shirley’s Prepackaged Crafts! After only two days she was asking and looking forward to ‘doing crafts’. It’s been a wonderful way to open up the door to scissors, paint, glue, coloring and other basic concepts with her. The instructions were thorough and easy to understand, and the contents for each day were clearly labeled and easy to find. On top of all that, we had a great time building and exploring together.

Thank you Shirley!
