Serena & Lily World Repair Kit: Review + Giveaway

Serena & Lily is a wonderful brand of home decor for babies, children and the family alike. They also offer a wide assortment of interesting and unique toys, gifts, fabrics, decor and furniture for the home and your family.  I love getting the colorful catalog in the mail and seeing all of the new and exciting items.  One of the items I saw recently caught my eye. It is the World Repair Kit for kids. I was happy to learn more about it.  With a little guy getting older, it is important to me that I teach him about the world around him, both near and far; and I like this healthy and not overwhelming way to introduce him to some “heavier” topics.

We’re Repairing the World

The World Repair Kit from Serena & Lily comes in a sturdy box with loads of goodies inside. There are a lot of little fun facts concerning world issues and places around the world. It also gives kids and families ideas for making a difference in their own communities. I love the stamps that accompany the guidebook so that kids can stamp the “Did it? Stamp it!” icon in the corner of the pages.  The main book is set up to look like a tour guide book, and is cleverly designed to help kids see that there is so much more to the world than what happens in their neighborhood or school, without being scary or intimidating. That said, I have a 3 year old, and most of this is pretty  far out of his league as far as what I am ready to have to explain to him (world hunger, malaria, etc.). But, there are also pages that I can share with him now such as “Find the good in everyone”, or “find your passion”. Concepts that I definitely want him to learn at an early age. The recommended age for this kit is 8+ and I think that is probably a good fit. I think this would be a fantastic gift for a child around that age!

To Buy or Not to Buy

To Buy… I think this is a great gift idea for a elementary aged child. 100% of the net proceeds go to the Serena & Lily Foundation, which funds youth initiatives around the world, so it is a gift you can feel really good about.

Or Not to Buy… The only reason I can think of not to purchase this is if your kiddos are still babies, you aren’t ready for this kit. But you will be before you know it, and it is a wonderful way to help you kids learn about being an active global citizen.

Shop! Visit Serena & Lily and take a look at the World Repair Kit, which retails for  $24.95, as well as other fantastic decor and gift items. We also love the Serena & Lily Gypsy Tote, in particular.
