Introducing wassenBox!
We are happy and excited to own our subscription craft box service. We are bringing the art to your young artist. Let’s face it, WE ARE BUSY and important creative outlets sometimes get shoved to the side. We’re here to help. The Wassenberg Art Center staff are designing unique craft kits that will arrive every month in your mailbox. Each kit will contain a specially designed, craft and art project every month. We source safe products and combine them with a Wassenberg flair.
wassenBox is Super easy.
The wassenBox is a self contained, Wassenberg curated art kit that will arrive once a month for your young artists. The complete kit contains all supplies, instructions and maybe a surprise or two. If you act soon, deliveries will begin in December 2019, just in time for the holidays. Kits will continue to arrive monthly for $22 per month. Cancel anytime. WassenBoxes are designed for both boys and girls. Choose an age range, click below to sign up and you’re good to grow!
