How it works
How Creativity Spark works: Each box comes with a practice sheet to teach your child fundamental skills that they can apply to their own creative projects. From there, we provide both prompts and materials to guide your child, allowing them to chose what level of structure suits their creative mindset for the day.

Explore: Explore the colors, textures, and tools inside your box. A single piece of felt, shoelace, sticker, or prompt can become the beginning of something new.
Practice: Use the practice sheet and photo guide to practice weaving, lacing, connecting, and cutting. More detailed guidance is available on our Kits + Guides page.
Create: Choose a prompt card or follow an entirely different idea. Experiment, make changes, and create something uniquely yours. Don’t be afraid to undo and restart!

Wait… there are no instructions?
Not exactly. Creativity Spark uses photo-based guidance instead of traditional step-by-step instructions. These guides will help students build fundamental skills to guide their own creative visions, and our prompt cards provide available structure for students to use as idea initiators.
How do kids actually learn?
Creativity Spark provides various opportunities for students to expand their skill set.
- A practice sheet is provided in each box to help students build foundational weaving and lacing skills that will help them expand their creative reach
- Our photo guide system introduces students to learning how to interpret and understand simple instructions
- More than anything, our boxes are designed to teach students how to think for themselves and create with their own personal direction. You can learn more about our philosophy here
What if it’s frustrating?
That’s part of it. Creativity Spark encourages kids to struggle a little, ask questions, revise, and keep going. Sometimes the best ideas come from mistakes, and we believe that it’s important to learn this, especially at a young age. However, we understand that sometimes frustration can come at the expense of fun, so we have created informative videos and instruction guides that we encourage you to check out!
What makes this different?
Most craft kits are designed so everyone creates the same final product. Creativity Spark gives just enough guidance to help kids begin, while leaving room for imagination, problem-solving, and originality. These guides also utilize photo guides as opposed to normal worded instructions, allowing you child guidance over their own learning process.

As a caregiver, what’s my role?
Creativity Spark is designed to give each child ownership over their creative process. However, caregivers can supervise scissors use and ask guiding questions such as “What could you try next?” in order to prompt your child past potential frustration.
