Each month, we include a monthly magazine in each one of our OwlCrate Jr boxes which includes great, exclusive goodies just for our subscribers. These include author interviews, community interviews, and of course, our Creativity Corner where we include activities, fun facts, or games specified to our monthly theme.
But why keep all the fun to ourselves? With schools coming to a close for a much needed summer break, we thought we’d revisit some of our favorite Creativity Corner activities that gets the creative juices flowing. With drawing and writing prompts, there’s something here for everyone!
Each activity is available as downloadable PDFs for your convenience.
