Glitter Globe Craft

More than anything, my kids love creating. Whether it’s a quick craft using supplies we find around the house or something we buy to work on together, creating is a huge way that I bond with my boys. Because of this, I was excited to learn about Cottonwood Home and their activity kits.

Cottonwood Home is the dream-turned-reality of mother-daughter duo Alice and Kari. Alice’s background includes over 20 years of interior design, while Kari is a former Kindergarten teacher of 8 years. Cottonwood Home is the product of their passions and experience. Together, they created a company that strives to build meaningful connections between parents and their children through daily life and celebration.

Cottonwood Home’s three core values are live, party, and learn. Alice and Kari sought to find a way to make these values easily come to life for busy parents. From this goal, the idea of Cottonwood Home’s “kits” was born. Through these kits, including birthday kits & other creativity-focused kits, Alice and Kari take care of the planning so parents are able to spend more time making memories with their children.

Through parenthood, we all learn to look for the silver lining. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Alice and Kari were able to find theirs by shifting to a stronger focus on education. With children now doing their learning at home, Cottonwood Home is grateful to continue to share their Creative and Activity Kits with families so children can channel their creativity and be more engaged in their learning. 

The Cottonwood Home project my rascals tackled was the glitter globes. This was such a fun project for us to work on together and it was a great activity for my boys’ age group: 5 – 8 years old. The project was easy enough that they could be in the forefront of our mission: creating dinosaur and astronaut glitter globes. My boys loved this project, and I know other families who discover Cottonwood Home will love it too.
