THiNK OUTSiDE is such a fabulous educational subscription box for kids. I received a Water and Knot Box and I can’t wait to take the kids out with it and learn along with them. All subscriptions start with their Intro box with foldable daypack before advancing to the monthly theme boxes. Let’s take your curriculum outdoors! With some of us having to homeschool this year due to the pandemic, teaching life skills through THiNK OUTSiDE(they ship to Canada and the USA) is definitely one of my favourite subscription boxes. Their lesson plans are excellent.
The items included in your THiNK OUTSiDE is extremely well made and consists of the following:
For the Knot Box, the materials included in the box are, Knot activity cards, a Foldable water bottle, Paracord hank, Paracord gear set, incl. multiple types of carabiners, Activity supplies to make your own knot tying station and a bear bell so they know you’re coming and that you don’t startle a bear.
The objectives to teach your children are as follows:
The basics of knots Some basic knots and their uses
Uses of a bear bag and proper placement
Pulleys and how they work
How paracord can be weakened
The many uses of paracord
Importance of keeping wildlife wild

In this Water Box, we received a Drybag, a Waterproof pouch for your phone, a Fishing kit and Survival fishing resource cards. Go over the objectives and at the end discuss with your child and evaluate what you’ve learned.
