What parents say
"The 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!"

"We 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!"

"The 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!"
