Do you Monster?

Busy moms like myself and many others love doing craft projects and activities with our minis!  However finding the time to piece together everything you need for the craft in advance is sometimes impossible am I right?  When I started putting together different boxes for review I came across M is for Monster and I was impressed!  What is M is for Monster? I will be happy to tell you! 

M is for Monster Pre-k and Toddler boxes $32.95/month (they have combo packs if you want to buy more than one month at a time!) Have more than one Goofy Goober?! They do additional boxes at $26.95
Direct from their website:
M is for Monster is weekly educational activities that are delivered right to your door every month! No need to sit and plan and go shopping for the materials, everything you need for one months worth of activities will be shipped right to your front door!
What’s in a monster box? Each month will be different. You will get four weekly themes with 2 to 3 projects for each theme. You will also get the glue, crayons, markers, paint and all the other supplies needed for that month.

Ready to see whats in the November box?! (First I must tell you that I was EXTREMELY excited to get this box! I had seen spoilers of previous boxes from M is for Monster and I automatically knew I wanted it! )  


When you open the box you see this!  (okay it looked much better but in my excitement I opened it before I took the photo so I resealed it!)

This is everything that was inside this months box!

A closer look via collage:

 I must must say this box is PACKED, with FUN activities oh and have I mentioned yet their educational activities?!!!   It even came with a book! Oh My, Pumpkin Pie!

Inside each box is an instruction sheet.  It explains how to do each activity and which week it is for as well! 
Seriously that right there makes life a bit easier too! I mean the works done for you, all you do is sit down with your Goofy Goobers and help them LEARN while having FUN! 
(side note: While I was setting up photos my Goofy Goober pair came up and started doing the activity they were so excited!! )
 This activity was find the missing letter in the sequence!  A HUGE hit for both of them! 

Okay so do I think the quality/value ratio is right on this box? YES!!!!   As a homeschooling mom of 3 Goofy Goobers its hard to find the time to piece together FUN activities so something that delivers educational games to my doorstep is a HUGE winner!       The materials felt really nice.  Most are printed on card stock, so they don't feel 'cheap'  again a plus! 

Learning is always more fun when its in a game style format, especially for little kids.  The fact that they got to play with putting the alphabet in the correct order today, and then play with shapes to make a scarecrow face as well, made it fun for them.  I don't think either really understood they were learning and not just having fun! 

So final thoughts  on a scale from 1-10 (1 being do NOT buy and 10 being RUN and buy) this box gets a 10!
Seriously its hard to be perfect, so I will not say this box is perfect by any means, but it looks like M is for Monster will great addition to our line up!  If you want to try them out for yourself using the code new2monster will get you 10% off your first order! 
Pros:  Everything you need is delivered right to your door in a box.  An entire months worth of educational activities just shows up!  A surprise in every box for your Goofy Goober!! 
Cons:  The only con I have is that the age doesn't go very high!  If they had a box that carried through elementary school too that would be amazing! However I wont let that deter me from keeping our subscription to this box!
