From Screen-Time to STEAM: The Award-Winning Kit Sparking Real Creativity
We are thrilled to share some incredible news: EyeConnect Crafts has been officially named one of the Best Art Kits for Kids by Parents.com!
This recognition is especially meaningful because it was hand-picked by Jacquelyn Smith, a professional artist, mom, and art teacher who uses these kits in her own classroom. To be included in a list of classroom-tested, parent-approved favorites is the ultimate honor for us.

See it in action! I used this very same book to quickly and easily make a stop motion animation. The hardest part was finding just the right animal sounds to add in! LOL!
🎨 Why This Pro Art Teacher Says Our 3D Tunnel Books are a Classroom Favorite
Our DIY 3D Tunnel Book Kit isn't your average craft project—it’s an immersive STEAM experience. Here is what makes it stand out:
-
"Pop-In" Innovation: Unlike traditional pop-up books that pop out, our tunnel books pop in to create captivating, layered scenes.
-
Moveable Magic: Our "Deluxe" kits feature Totem Poppets—poseable, jointed characters that kids can assemble with mini brads to bring their stories to life.
-
Built for Durability: We use 500 GSM cardstock (the thickest it gets!) so the pages won't flopping or bleed through, even with heavy painting.
-
Screen-Free Creativity: From building nature scenes to creating stop-motion animation sets, these kits provide hours of deep, imaginative play.

A Note From Our Founder
Our founder, Erin Sparler, created these kits because she couldn't find nature-based crafts that sparked her own children's curiosity. Seeing that personal mission recognized by a major platform like Parents is a dream come true.
Whether your child is an aspiring animator, a budding scientist, or just loves to get creative, our 3D Tunnel Books are designed to help them say, "Look what I made!"
