We've all had those
days where the kids are bored with all of the toys they have in the house and
nothing can seem to keep them interested for any length of time. As a parent, I try to keep things new and
exciting to them to keep their minds stimulated and make learning fun for
them. This can be difficult on some
days, especially with the cold rainy weather now they are cooped up in the
house too.
Surprise Ride is a
real life saver for parents on days like these!
Surprise Ride is a subscription service that sends a box packed full of
educational, hands-on activities for kids ages 6-11. These activities are specifically chosen to
encourage creativity and imagination.
The Surprise Ridebox we received for review had so much we split it up over a couple of
days. It was geared more towards my 8
year old son and 6 year old son and daughter but my 3 year old loved joining in
too.
The first activity,
we built the clock my older boys. The
kit came complete with the paint, paint brush, apron, wood backing, clock kit
and the ruler to mark the numbers on the clock too. It even had a fun fact card about time and
how telling time has evolved over the years.
The boys loved the idea they were building their own clock right down to
adding the hands themselves.
The second activity
I worked on with my daughter and my youngest son, was the telescope. They decorated the telescope with the
stickers in the Surprise Box and they were given a fact card to teach them
about constellations and galaxies.
To add to the fun,
our Surprise Ride Box also came with and Ad Libs book, a compass and a flying
alien. It even included a snack
too! It was freeze dried pineapple -
just like the astronauts eat when they are in flight. How exciting to get a taste of what it's like
as an astronaut with what they eat and see every day!
You just may have
heard of Surprise Ride in the past.
Especially if you're a fan of Shark Tank or The View as they have been
featured on those shows. They are also
partnered with Award Winning Country Music Star, Sara Evans and Hidden Valley
Ranch to include nutritious recipes in their boxes too!
This subscription
would make a great holiday gift this year too!

ReplyDeleteSuch a cool idea for kids! Even my 3 year old was loving it. :)
DeleteI learned that the Surprise Ride boxes themes are different every month, and themes are gender neutral.
ReplyDeleteYes! Gender neutral is a biggie here. I have 3 boys and 1 girl and we can't leave anyone out. :)
