How Teachers and Camp Leaders Are Using ArtsBot Kits in the Classroom
Walk into any classroom or summer camp and you’ll hear it — the buzz of curiosity, the clatter of crayons, the giggle of kids deep in a project. But behind that joyful noise is a daily challenge: how to keep young minds engaged, hands busy, and creativity flowing, all while managing time, resources, and mess.
That’s exactly why so many teachers and camp leaders are turning to ArtsBot craft kits.
Designed for kids aged 3–9, these ready-to-go kits are becoming a quiet hero in classrooms, after-school clubs, and summer camps across the country. Each kit is self-contained, which means no prep, no searching for scissors, and no last-minute glue disasters. Educators love them because they make it easy to run structured, fun, and meaningful craft sessions with zero stress.
Teachers have found that ArtsBot kits are especially useful for those in-between moments — when one group finishes early, when the energy dips after lunch, or when the weather cancels outdoor plans. They’re a great way to reward good behaviour or calm a chaotic classroom. Some teachers even use them as part of their lesson plans, pairing craft time with storytelling, history, or science themes to reinforce learning in a hands-on way.
At summer camps, where days are long and schedules are flexible, ArtsBot kits are the perfect backup plan. Whether it’s a rainy afternoon or a little downtime between active sessions, these kits offer campers a moment to wind down and focus. And because they come with everything included (even stickers!), camp leaders don’t need to spend hours prepping materials or worrying about cleanup. It’s all in the bag — literally.
Even better? Kids love them. They get to create something they’re proud of and take it home at the end of the day, which helps them feel a sense of accomplishment. For younger children, that tangible result is a big confidence booster. For older kids, it’s a chance to express themselves and make something uniquely theirs.
Some schools and camps are even turning ArtsBot kits into community-building moments. Picture a group of children sitting together, chatting while they craft, exchanging ideas and helping each other — it’s screen-free, social, and satisfying. Teachers have told us that the kits often spark unexpected conversations and moments of teamwork, which are just as important as the finished product.
What started as a TSA-compliant travel kit has grown into a trusted classroom and camp companion — and we couldn’t be happier. When we designed our kits, we wanted them to be more than just a fun activity. We wanted to give children the tools to be creative anywhere — on a plane, in a classroom, or under a tree at camp.
Turns out, all they need is a bit of space, a handful of supplies, and the freedom to create.
