I could not have put it better myself.  This wonderful box will spark any child's creativity.  It was a very chilly rainy summer day for us and there would be no playing outside so I pulled out our "My Giant Big Busy Box" from Alex Toys.  Included in this box is everything you need for some crafty and imaginative fun.  The kids decided we should each make an animal so we dumped out everything we needed, I grabbed some old glitter I had in the junk drawer and we got started.  There is a galore of stickers, cutouts, papers, and pom-poms to glue onto your creature.  Everything you need is included in this kit, no need to buy a thing.  Every one of the 16 projects is individually packaged which makes it very easy to decide what you want to make without making a large mess.   They purposefully have not included many instructions or finished product photos inside the box so that there is nothing to compare what you are making to, it makes you use your imagination that much more.  We had a really fun time and it kept the kids busy for almost 2 hours.  We cannot wait for the next rainy day to pull this out and make another project together.

This kit goes for $35.95 on the Alex website
