The box has the potential to appeal to tweens, teens and adults who are looking for a fun activity to do at home without having to collect all of the many supplies that are needed for a successful DIY project. The Crayola CIY Box contains [all of the supplies to make](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/craft-starter-kit) two premium crafts, plus an easy-to-follow guide, a bonus crafting activity and other surprises, such as coupons and gifts. A subscription also gives members access to a resource library, which shares how-to videos, templates that can be downloaded for free and more. With this kit, craft lovers can expect to make unique creations with everything from glitter to soft textiles. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Craft Subscription Boxes:** Craft subscription boxes are becoming more popular for those looking for a convenient and creative DIY experience. - **Monthly Activity Kits:** Monthly activity kits, like the Crayola CIY Box, focus on providing consumers with all the necessary tools and instructions to create DIY projects at home. - **DIY Resource Libraries:** DIY resource libraries, which offer how-to videos and templates, enable consumers to expand their creative skills and share their creations with others. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Arts and Crafts:** Arts and crafts companies can capitalize on the subscription box trend by creating monthly kits with unique supplies and projects to engage consumers. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce companies can create a niche market by curating and selling craft subscription boxes, catering to specific themes and target audiences. - **Education:** Educational institutions can use DIY resource libraries and craft subscription boxes to offer creative outlets for students and promote hands-on learning experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [DIY Crafts Subscription Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sampler-club.md) - [STEM Subscription Crates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiwico.md) - [Stationery Subscription Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archer-olive.md) - [Subscription-Based Creator Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michaels-digital-downloads.md) - [Creativity-Inspiring Kids Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazart.md) - [Vibrant Creativity Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-acts-of-color.md) - [Creativity Time Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/campaign-for-creativity.md) - [Crystal Floral Arrangement Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-crystal-floral-kits.md) - [Candy-Inspired Gift Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-candy-club.md)
