Markybox: Monthly Creativity for the Family

Markybox is no ordinary subscription service. Rather it focuses on two key parts – fostering creativity and also fostering the relationship between parent and child.

Each box has easy instructions and enough professional-grade supplies so that the project can be done twice. Projects are curated by a team of artists and educators to ensure that the experience is varied and targets different skills and techniques.

The July Markybox will be a paper marbling project.
