How can Achildswork.com save me time?

You no longer have to plan your craft activities. Once a month you receive 4 crafts complete with materials and instructions. Planning craft activities can take hours to research, write instructions, and printing them out.

You no longer have to go to the store to buy your crafts. They are delivered directly to your door every month in your child's name (or as long as you choose). No more hassle of standing in line to pay for your purchase, and loading the items into your car.

No need to sort though tons of "extra" craft supplies that take up way too much space. We package all of the materials in one bag for ease and convenience.

Our crafts are portable - you can take them anywhere (even on vacation or Grandma's house). Stop wasting time searching for things for the kids to do while you are visiting relatives.

Saving money with our Craft Susbcriptions:

Why is Achildswork.com so much cheaper than the other craft sites? You are probably wondering how we can charge significantly less than our competition and still be in business since 1999.

First of all, we run a tight ship. We choose our promotions carefully and ensure every advertising dollar pays for itself; we streamline our business processes; we don't have any frills; we use plain envelopes to mail the craft kits. Better yet we give our customers free shipping on all orders. That's a $60 value in free shipping we take care of on our end.

Second, we're an honest company. There are no tricks in what we do. Your low monthly subscription rates will never increase! (the only exceptions would be if you took advantage of a limited-time, special offer).

The end result is that we're happy to tell you that we're a small but profitable company that expects to be in business for many more years to come. All this, of course, is due to value-conscious customers like you.

Monthly Subscription Questions:

When will my first craft of the month order be shipped?

- Your first package will arrive within 1-2 weeks of your order date

Can I mix and match my craft subscription?

- Yes, you can. Lets say you order a 6 month Holiday subscription; you can choose to do 3 months Holiday and 3 months Sea Creatures. Please send us an e-mail with your name, choice of mix & match craft theme and order # and we will make sure your order is updated.

Making Special Requests:

We can accommodate special requests. When placing your order please specify additional information such as:

- no holiday crafts (please list this if you do not want any holiday crafts)

- Mix and match crafts (please list the themes you want. We will send out crafts of your choice).

- no religious crafts (please list this if you do not want any Jesus, Christian, or affiliated crafts included in your premium or surprise craft subscriptions).

Please Note as of April 08:

Some Sticker and craft subscription may be shipped out every other month! Each customer will still be guaranteed each monthly subscription they ordered. This is due to higher shipping costs and availability. Thank you for your patience.

Privacy Questions:

Will any of my information be shared?

No. We respect your privacy and will not share your information with anyone.

A Cheaper Cut -

Cutting your family's hair at home can save time and money. You will have to invest in a good pair of scissors and perhaps clippers, but keep your eyes open for these items at yard sales. Books and videos are available at the library to teach you the basics. If your first attempts are on a wiggly toddler, prepare a box of 'goodies' for him to sort through while you snip. I've filled a bucket with costume jewelry and various harmless trinkets that emerges only during haircuts so the novelty doesn't wear off. Its likely that your first few cuts won't be flawless, but as with everything, practice makes (almost) perfect. If you just can't imagine taking up the scissors, check out a local beauty school for drastically reduced rates.

Treasures in the Library -

Have you visited your local library lately? You might be surprised by the wide variety of activities that are offered free of charge. Story hours, mock pajama parties, crafts, and demonstrations are now commonplace. Many also organize fun reading incentive programs that reward young participants with parties, prizes, and even free books. Beyond the great activities, libraries offer videos, CDs, cassettes, CD Roms, periodicals, and of course the latest best sellers all free for the borrowing!
