Earlier this month I shared an interview with the founder of Bayo Bundles and Mompreneur Riley with you. Riley’s creative idea of sending out Monthly Activity Kits to families is pure genius! Riley was kind enough to provide my two kiddos with one of her kits to try it out for ourselves, I mean themselves. My first impression was how fast the delivery service was. Shipping is free with your Bayo Bundle order, but that did not mean it was slow. My next gasp of surprise came when we opened up the box. Here is what we found:
All of this came in one box! And it was not just one craft inside, but two, plus the activity part itself. I was blown away with the amount of stuff that each Monthly Activity Kit contains. The theme for our kit is “Make Your Own Organic Garden” and it held everything you could possibly think of to make a garden. There was pots and paint, dirt and seeds, a kit for making a scarecrow (so smart!) and a wonderful instruction booklet with each step included. It also has a few recipes to try out ways to use the result of your organic garden. I was so excited to go through this with the kids and they were eager to start.
With such a wonderful array of activities to keep the kiddos busy we did not complete all of them, but that made it even better. Now we have another craft to work on and then the actual garden to plant. Talk about value! You can not go wrong with a Bayo Bundle Monthly Activity Kit. The kids will have something new to look forward to each month and as their parent or guardian you can get involved for some quality time or relax while they create. It’s a win win!
Check out some of the photos I took of the kids painting their pots. You can see how “into it” they were. Such concentration! There was plenty of paint to go around and Riley even includes the brushes. 🙂 I’m telling you, lots of value to be had in this kit..
Stay tuned as the kids and I continue to make our way through our Bayo Bundle Monthly Activity Kit. More pictures to follow soon! In the meantime head over to see Riley at Bayo Bundles and see how easy and affordable a monthly subscription is. You can find Riley and Bayo Bundles here on Facebook and also on Twitter.
What do you think of our creations?

It’s great to hear that shipping is for free. But would that also hold true to international shipments? I would love to buy a box for my cousins.
Riley says
Hi Rochkirstin,
Thank you for your interest. We currently only ship within Canada, however, international shipping is something we hope to offer soon. Sign up for our newsletter on our website (www.bayobundles.com) or follow us on twitter @bayobundles for updates.
MapleMouseMama says
Unfortunately they are not available internationally yet..

I love your kiddos activities and maybe, I could share to the kids here. But maybe for time constraints that I can’t do it physically. Fernando Ceballos Lachica
MapleMouseMama says
I am sure you can come up with something cool for the kids!
Patty | MrsC says
Wow there’s so much fun inside that one box! My son would love to have arts and crafts kits at home, for sure. These would make for great weekend bonding activities.
MapleMouseMama says
The box was full to the brim and we still have not finished all the crafts..
3xhcch says
My kids are already too big for this activity but if they were the right age, I think they would like to do this, especially my daughter. – Fred
MapleMouseMama says
You would be surprised at what ages would love this. I totally had fun painting the pots!
Vanessa Ally says
Your creations are full of life and colors, I am amazed how many pieces came together in just one pack! It seems as Bayo Bundles perfectly occupies the kids, challenging their imagination!
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
Thank you, Vanessa! What a lovely comment 🙂
MapleMouseMama says
yes, Riley has done a great job with these..
joyfelizardo says
Pottery painting is so fun for my girls. I remembered having them paint pots at The Manila Collectibles. I hope we can also purchase those kits here in Manila though.
MapleMouseMama says
I am sure that you can..
Anne Taylor says
This looks like a good time for a rainy afternoon! Thanks so much for the info!

You are most welcome!

This post is very interesting for all the parents out there and to me having teaching as my job. This kit is a must have. Can we get any sample? 🙂
MapleMouseMama says
It depends on where you live Enzo, but check the site for placing an order..
Bonnie Way says
Ooooh, this looks awesome too! We just got a Bayo Bundle as well, with a different theme, so it’s cool to see what else might come in the bundles. Like you, I was totally wowed by the activities and everything included. My girls would have LOVED this bundle as well – my oldest is all about seeds and plants right now! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
agarwalsamajbhilwara says
One thing I noticed after reading you lots of post that you also have a child heart into you, most of us forget that thing in this running life, but you are here to not only save that but also express that, thank you suzzane
MapleMouseMama says
Oh you are so sweet! Thank you for sharing that with me 🙂
Tiffany Yong says
Doing such activities will not only allow kids to developed their confidence and creativity, it is also good bonding time for parents (with other kids’ parents), as well as with the kids if you are alone! Like how you share these activities to share and motivate other parents to do so too!
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
Indeed!!
MapleMouseMama says
Thanks Tiffany!
Franc Ramon says
This pots are really colorful. This is a great way to bring their creativity here.
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
They did such a great job painting their pots, didn’t they?! So creative!
MapleMouseMama says
We had a blast!
slickmaster says
This activity definitely helps kids (like yours as posted here) shaped their creativity and imaginative skills. I won’t be surprised if one point in the near future will come and I might spot your kids (over the internet, of course) doing great artworks.
MapleMouseMama says
They are destined for greatness to be sure 🙂
Jason Panuelos says
When I have kids of my own, I will definitely try activities like this! In the Philippines, it’s so normal right now to see kids everywhere with their faces buried in an iPad and it’s just saddening! :O
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
It’s like that here in Canada too. I definitely prefer to see children creating, exploring, getting messy, and using their imaginations!
MapleMouseMama says
It is no different here Jason. The screen wins all the time 🙁
Loudthinkin says
Oh that looks like so much fun! There so many creative things which can be done with that kit! I am sure it will be fun to do it along with the kids!
MapleMouseMama says
It was great for the kids, but I joined a little bit, just a little 😉
evaarce says
I love to see kids do their own crafts because its pure imagination and fun! 🙂
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
Exactly! Me too!!
MapleMouseMama says
Exactly!
Jennifer (momvstheboys) says
this looks fun, I love kits. Painted pots make cute gifts
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
Thanks, Jennifer 🙂 Home made gifts are the best! And what could be better than a painted pot filled with fresh veggies or a beautiful flower?
MapleMouseMama says
Great idea!
Randa @ The Bewitchin' Kitchen says
LOVE Bayo Bundles, the idea of a monthly child’s kit really has me interested. My son (in about another year) would love this!
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
So glad to hear that, Randa!
MapleMouseMama says
Yes, he really would Randa 🙂
MollyMia says
the kits looks fun! and i feel that this really get the creativity in the kids going.
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
Definitely! Kids are naturally so creative and imaginative. I love seeing all the different variations of the same craft!
MapleMouseMama says
It sure does!
Le-an Lacaba says
This looks awesome. I used to love doing that when I was a kid.
MapleMouseMama says
They are so much fun!
1heart1familyJENN says
What a great kit! My kids love doing crafts! We made a planted pot and painted it like that for my mom for her birthday one year! She loved it!
Riley {Bayo Bundles} says
That sounds like a lovely birthday gift idea! Your mom is a lucky lady 🙂
MapleMouseMama says
That is a great idea!
Joanna Sormunen says
What a cool craft for the kids! Something I would love to put in a focal point in my house and present to everyone visting.
Kylie says
I’m sure my kids will love to do all these crafts!~ Thanks for sharing!
phyliciamarie says
I already loved the whole idea when I read about them in your previous article. I love how they have two sets in each so you and your kid can do the activity together. Let me know if you grew anything in the pots!
MapleMouseMama says
I will definitely share the final outcome of our little gardening attempt 🙂
Bailey Dexter says
Our grandkids did these pots for flowers but we planted very small trees in them for Christmas, they are waiting to hang a light ribbon on them! Great review.
barbara langley says
Good ideas
Christinekey says

Steph Bkn says
I love these! perfect for a rainy day, i love how everything is already ready to go:)
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
I remember my children painting flower pots in school, they turned out really well. These look to me like a good investment for kids, lots of fun, use of imagination too.
MapleMouseMama says
I loved this one and it is great for school projects too!
Elizabeth Matthiesen says
ps glad the website is up and running today. 🙂
MapleMouseMama says
Thank you Elizabeth (me too 😉 )
Laurie P says
Definitely something my girl would enjoy! Great to know about Bayo bundle!
leslie crosbie says
What a good idea my daughter would love waiting each month, dying to find out what was coming!!!
One of our favorite things to do together are anything crafty!!
Carina B says
This was a great idea, I will try do this myself with the kids 🙂
MapleMouseMama says
You will not regret it. 🙂
Karen Propes says
This is so neat, we love crafts. I try to make up little crafts to do with my Granddaughter every time I see her. This would be great, everything you need all in the box. I’m going to look into this. Thanks for sharing.
