My boys love getting the boxes in the mail and the activities are great for stimulating their creativity. Highly recommend
The Super Fun Activity guidebook included not only easy-to-follow instructions on how to build your glider with the included materials, but also included flight notes where children can record their design ideas, a data collection form where children document the distance and landing of their various designs, and "super fun stuff" which provided space for children to draw creative ideas related to flight and creative thoughts of a kid with superpower (e.g. What do kids with Superpower eat for breakfast?). To my delight, my children were most interested in designing and experimenting with different types of wings for their glider, and with measuring and recording their observations.
Working on our superpowers with this amazing box. I lvoe this box because it combines T.'s vavorite things with personal growth.
These boxes helped a lot, not only did she enjoy the activities, she was able to put words and descriptions to how she"
"was feeling. These boxes were also right in line with what the school counselor was working with her on."
"My daughter loved them and they were right in line with what she needed. Thank you so much.
Had a lot of fun and education yesterday thanks to our Superpower Academy box. Learning how to calm our emotions and mind. Hs is entralled wtih it.
One of the best STEM box subscription options, especially if you are looking to help your child develop socially and emotionally.
The other thing that I liked was the inclusion of a parent guide that links the fun activity with the educational benefits. It was interesting to read about the growth mindset and grit and how it relates to outcomes such as motivation, achievement, and grades (e.g. math/spelling). Superpower academy also gives parents tips on ways that they can promote and encourage the development of a growth mindset and grit within their children. After opening and going through the instructions, the children spent nearly two hours experimenting with various glider designs and recording their observations. They were engaged in critical and creative thinking while at the same time thinking that their mom had given them the day off. Win-win!
Subscription boxes are all the rage, so it can be hard to sift out which ones are truly a win. When my kids met up with their Superpower Academy boxes, we were wowed! These at-home kits deliver hands-on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) projects that encourage a growth mindset and social and emotional learning right to your door. The box of reading and maker activities is such a cool way to support the concepts promoted at my kids’ school. A letter/magazine is also sent to parents to help explain the purpose and use of the boxes!
This morning was one of our best mornings. I was patient, he was interested. We used our Superpower academy box to talk about emotions, learn about Gandhi and how to make different colors by mixing primary colors. It was AWESOME!! So many great ways to teach our kids and he loves these subscription boxes for sure.
The box was full of fun reading materials and hands on projects (DIY glider) to really push the lesson home. A few fun bonus items included branded stickers and washi tape that were huge hits!
"CRASH AND LEARN" - Your child will be invited to join a secret society of heroes and be sent on a secret FLIGHT mission! Freddie Try Again will teach your child to "stick with it" when the going gets tough. Then, your little hero will practice growth mindset and resilience as he or she builds gliders. What works? What can be improved? It won't be easy, but heroes never give up! (Subscribers ages 5-7 receive a variation of this box)
"HERO ME." Little heroes learn to find their best HERO selves. Your hero will read about Martin Luther King, Jr. to discover that superpowers come from within. Then, your little hero will explore his or her strengths and weaknesses as he or she builds a HERO ME robot. A special heart with circuits brings the robot to life and reminds us all that our best self lives in our heart.
"BORN TO BE MILD" - Average Alex teaches your child that superpowers aren't always supernatural as he finds his inner strength to save the world from big bad aliens. Then, your little hero will practice mindfulness as he or she builds a sundial and watches and listens to discover the future.
"SAVE THE TREES" - This box was inspired by Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax." Macho Mike and his friends come across a T-Rex in the woods and start a war with the big beast. But, Mike feels something isn’t right and uses his superpowers to discover the truth. Amidst the chaos, no one notices the trees in the background who are getting stomped and chomped! Trees have no “voice” to speak up for themselves. So, little heroes are tasked with the big mission of saving the trees.
