We are overflowing with gratitude at Constellation Craft Kits!

This week, we received an incredibly generous donation of craft supplies from our Amazon wishlist, gifted by a longtime supporter of our mission, Barb.
Barb, your kindness means more than words can express. The supplies you donated will become colorful projects, creative moments, and meaningful distractions for children who truly need comfort and encouragement. Every item you donated will help brighten a hospital room and remind a child that people in their community care deeply about them.
Barb, thank you for your generosity, your thoughtfulness, and your heart. We are so incredibly grateful for you and your continued support.

Bringing winter fun indoors—no mittens required! ☃️

All the beautiful snow we’ve had in Michigan over the past two weeks has us feeling inspired to bring the joy of a Michigan winter indoors to children who may not be able to get outside to enjoy it.
Our winter craft kit deliveries—heading to hospitals next month—will include snowman kits! Each kit has everything needed to squish, roll, and create an air-dry clay snowman, bringing frosty fun and big smiles right to hospital rooms. ❄️

A Huge Thank You to a Very Generous Donor!

Last week, our nonprofit received an incredible material donation from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous — and we are still in awe. This amazing donor purchased every single item on our Amazon wishlist, sending us glue sticks, canvases, paint, crayons, pencils, notebooks, scissors, markers, Play-Doh, air-dry clay, coloring books, and so much more!
This donation is absolutely huge for us. It provides the supplies we need to create hundreds of art and craft kits that will be delivered to the hospitals we serve, bringing creativity, comfort, and joy to their pediatric patients. For a small nonprofit like ours, a gift of this size doesn’t just restock shelves — it expands our ability to reach more children/ hospitals and brighten more days than ever before.
From the bottom of our hearts-thank you! Your generosity will spark smiles, imagination, and healing for so many kids who truly need it. We can’t stop smiling.

Fall Delivery Update

We’re excited to share that this fall we delivered 1,160 craft kits, 2 mobile craft carts, and so many smiles to our partner hospitals throughout the state.
Thank you to our incredible hospital partners — McLaren (Bay City), Covenant (Saginaw), Hurley (Flint), C.S. Mott (Ann Arbor), Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital (Grand Rapids), and Corewell Children’s Hospital (Royal Oak)— for helping us bring fun, creativity, and joy to their patients!

Things are rolling along—in the best way!Constellation Craft Kits is now helping hospitals deliver craft kits to pediatric patients in style—with mobile craft carts! These carts make it easier to bring creativity and comfort right to a child’s bedside. Whether it’s the ER, inpatient rooms, or treatment areas, the carts help brighten tough moments with activities designed to inspire and uplift.
Each cart:
* Rolls room to room for easy access
* Carries a variety of fun, age-appropriate kits
* Takes up minimal storage space
* Delivers a dose of creativity when it’s needed most
Because healing isn’t just medical—it’s also the unexpected moments of joy that roll in when you least expect them.

Our crayon drive wrapped up last month, and we’re excited to share that we collected 247 boxes of crayons!

We are truly overwhelmed ( in the best way) by the generosity of this incredible community. Thank you to every individual and business who supported and contributed to this mission — your kindness will brighten many young lives.

We’re especially grateful to Crazy Quarters Arcade for hosting our collection box — your support helped make this effort a success, and we sincerely appreciate it!

We are absolutely blown away by the generosity and heart of the Cramer Junior High School Summer Musical cast and crew of Beetlejuice Jr.!
During their incredible run of performances, this talented and spirited group collected donations for our organization from their audience during intermission. Thanks to their efforts (and the kindness of their audiences), we received an amazing $770 donation!
To say we’re grateful would be an understatement. THANK YOU to the cast, crew, and everyone who contributed. Your support means the world to us — and proves that even in the Netherworld, kindness definitely isn’t dead.

Crayon Drive Update!

We’re thrilled to share that as of this afternoon, we’ve collected 127 packs of crayons for our crayon drive!

These crayons will be included in craft kits for pediatric hospital patients across Michigan—bringing smiles, creativity, and comfort to kids who truly need it.

To everyone who has donated, shared our mission or posts, talked about the drive, or simply taken the time to read along: Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We’re deeply moved by your generosity—it will make a real impact on the children we serve. We also want to express our continued gratitude to Crazy Quarters for allowing us to use their arcade as our collection location. We’re so grateful for this amazing community.

If you’re still thinking about donating, there’s time! The drive runs through August 20, and every pack helps.

Our organization donates nearly 4,000 craft kits a year to kids in hospitals— and 2 out of 3 kits include crayons! That adds up to a LOT of crayons… and we could really use your help! 🙌
With back-to-school sales happening now, it’s the perfect time to stock up and donate. Whether it’s one pack or ten, every box of crayons helps bring creativity and joy to a child’s day. 💛

Drop-off location:
Crazy Quarters Arcade ( located inside City Market) 401 Center Avenue in downtown Bay City
* We have a white labeled bin placed to the right of the change machines by the front door that crayon donations can be dropped in. See comments for images of the bin. 🙂

A huge thank you to Crazy Quarters Arcade for so kindly allowing us to use their space as a drop-off location. Their support helps make this drive possible, and we’re incredibly grateful!
Stop by, have some fun, and drop off your crayon donations while you're there!
Let’s color the world a little brighter, one crayon box at a time!
