Salty Owl Studio Review

As horrible as this pandemic has been, we have been trying to stay positive, count our blessings, and appreciate our health and our family. One thing that we’ve appreciated is all the extra time as a family and are always looking for fun things we can do together to make memories.  Salty Owl Studio has developed the perfect way to have all the fun of family night, with someone else doing all the planning for you! Owl Box was created to make it easier for families to spend time together.

What comes in each box?

Each box comes with a project (with materials for 4 or 5 participants ages 9 and up), snacks, a game, recipe and a movie suggestion.

What did we get?

We received the Welcome Box!

One of the household items we have appreciated the most during this pandemic (besides toilet paper, of course) is SOAP!  We go through it like crazy so this was a fun craft for us to do together.

The soap making kit had everything we needed including…

Soap molds, craft sticks

Goat’s milk soap base, soap dye, scent, and even a natural loofah that we cut and put into our soap.

As important as it is for kids to get outside, it’s also important to get your teens out there! I’ve had so many friends complaining that their teens are constantly on their phone…especially since we are stranded at home during this pandemic. I know that YouTube and Tic Tok can take over  my house if we’re not careful.  I swear…it can be an obsession. However, if my girls get outside and have some fun, they don’t feel the need to jump on their phones.  The key is to help them find things to do outside that they love.
