Lullubee Provides a New Way to Enjoy Crafts

Kids have so many leisure activities —computers, gaming, sports, and elaborate toys — that many tried-and-true diversions have fallen by the wayside. Crafting is still on the activity menu for many families, but unless you have a particularly patient and creative brood, you may find it a challenge to get them happily involved in this time-tested art.

Crafting, like many computer games, boosts hand dexterity, imagination, and attention to detail. Unlike computer games, it is usually slow paced and requires a different type of learning process to master. It also enables kids to make something that they can treasure as a family heirloom or keepsake. Families who craft can save money by creating their own home decorations and holiday gifts; a skill that would be a blessing for many in today’s economy.

While many families would love to craft, not all find it easy. Not everyone has the time, inspiration or ability to pick up tools and materials and make something new. Luckily, there’s a company that can help parents and kids with crafty ambitions. Lullubee is a New York-based craft company that takes a unique approach to crafting. Rather than simply selling supplies, Lullubee provides customers with detailed directions for projects, complete with pictures of the finished product. The crafting supplies are high-quality, and projects are dreamed up by Lullubee’s resident craft artists.

Designs include seasonal projects based on nature and the holidays. They also include beautiful designs for dolls, costumes, and homemade jewelry. There’s also a “Craft of the Month “club that allows members to receive a fresh batch of projects every 30 days. Customers can choose which kits suit them best. Once the kits arrive, the customer simply needs to follow the detailed instructions to make the finished products which can be displayed or used again and again.

There’s also the option of ordering ready-made crafts from Founders Tiffany Dekel and Laura Burch. They saw a need for a business that provided exciting and interesting craft ideas, as well as top-notch supplies. Both Laura and Tiffany enjoyed successful design careers before branching out on their own to form Lullubee. Laura is a former illustrator who teaches craft classes at Shenkar University in Tel Aviv. Tiffany is an entrepreneur who enjoyed success as a clothing designer. Their hope is to get parents and kids excited about the crafting experience.
