★★★★★R. NelsonThe perfect gift of experience, time and learning with our family and to gift others. Since we couldn’t be in Denver for the holidays this year, we ordered and shipped boxes as one of our gifts to the cousins and did a zoom afternoon together. It was so much fun connecting and learning right along side of the kids. I especially loved the green roofs and composting boxes. I think I look forward to the boxes as much as the kiddos! Will find my screenshot and post picture soon!
★★★★★Kristen FlatherWe love the Green Explorers Club boxes! Over the last few months, I've purchased several of them for my 5 year old and 9 year old, and they both love the creative and well thought out activities and coordinating books. Our favorites are the the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and African Savanna project boxes, but they are all great!
★★★★★Brooke LoganThe project boxes from Green Explorers Club are a huge hit in our house! We have nearly all of them at this point, and my kiddos and their cousins are so excited when they get to do them. My son is 5, and he loves sharing all that he knows about dinosaurs know. Each box is thoughtfully put together and unwrapping them is like opening a Christmas gift each time! This small business knows what families need!
★★★★★Laura BambrickWe got the coral box and my daughters LOVED it! I have a 7 1/2 and 2 1/2 year old and they both were so engaged during the book and activities! The 7 1/2 year old especially got into the activities and has read the book multiple times since. I'd highly recommend this box and service. Everything was thoughtfully put together and well packaged. I love how eco friendly it all is!
★★★★★Amit ArwindekarGreen Explorers Club hosted the birthday party for my 3 year old son and about 20 of his friends. They did a FANTASTIC job! They had fun educational events every 20 mins to keep the kids engaged and moving. The instructions were clear and easy to understand. Several parents commented on how well planned everything was and how the kids were engaged. They also took care of the goodie bags and helped with the cake. The team was very flexible and helpful. You could tell they had experience dealing with kids this age. It was one of the best experiences we've had throwing a birthday party. We highly highly recommend Green Explorers Club.
