While spending more time at home in 2020, my wife and I became subject to our amazing kids generating mountains of arts and crafts. We were so proud of our kids for finding new ways to explore their creativity, from homemade drawings, to lego castles, to educational crate-kits. However, we began to notice one unfortunate byproduct: these projects were piling up! We thought about how we could minimize the clutter while still celebrating our children's creativity. Artbox allows us to track and record our kids' artistic journey while simultaneously being able to ‘recycle’ the build-up. Goodbye clutter, hello efficiency! Our kids have even caught on to the idea, and get so excited to add their latest creation to their unique and colorful profile. It's a win-win! We hope you enjoy using Artbox in your home as much as we do! == Terms & Privacy == https://artbox.app/terms/ https://artbox.app/privacypolicy/ == Credits == Onboarding screens provided by https://www.freepik.com/vectorjuice
