If you are on social media at all, you have probably seen tons of sponsored posts reviewing the Kiwi crates for kids. I was really intrigued when I saw them, and decided to try it out.
If you are unfamiliar with KiwiCo, it is a monthly subscription box full of STEAM activities. STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics. This is a great way to incorporate these subjects into our homeschool day– and a great way to add in some fun activities for your kiddos even if you don’t homeschool.
For Chloe, age 8, I went with the Kiwi Crate. The Kiwi Crate is for ages 5-8.
With her first box, she built an arcade game. She LOVED it, and was able to figure out a step she missed all on her own. It was so cool to see her engineering this project all by herself. With the next shipment, she created a solar system. This girl loves space, so it was right up her ally. Each of the Kiwi Crates came with one main activity and some kind of game to play. She gave the Kiwi Crate two thumbs up.
For Addi, age 7, we went with the Atlas crate. She loves geography and learning about other countries, so I felt like this was a perfect match. This crate is for ages 6-11.
The Atlas Crate was really cool. She LOVED building a globe. The first box came with a book that you get to create as you receive more crates. The next crate came with activities and games from a specific country. She also go pages to add to her book about Nigeria. She was able to do these activities with very little assistance. She also gave her crate two thumbs up.
For Harper, age 4, we got her the Koala Crate. It was so stinking cute. This crate is ideal for ages 3-4.
With her first box, it was all rainbow themed activities. She was able to make this pillow all by herself. She made a stained glass picture and a rainbow tote bag also. The next box was music themed and she made a xylophone, tambourine, and a ribbon wand. It was so fun to see her creating these things with little to no assistance. She LOVED her box so much that she wanted to keep the actual boxes.
Each box is $19.99 a month. They come automatically shipped to you with everything you need for every project. These are perfect for rainy or snowy days when you are stuck indoors or just need a break from the cold.
I am obsessed. I honestly love this so much. The concept is brilliant. They have boxes for ALL ages. One of them says it is for up to 104 years old.
My only problem is that with three kids, it’s an extra $60 a month. When your budget is tight, this is difficult to afford. If you use this link, you can get $10 off your box. You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time. And, if you have more than one kid, you can purchase one box and share since there’s usually more than one activity.
This post is completely unsponsored, although if KiwiCo wants to sponsor my family I’d be thrilled. haha! We bought our boxes and loved every second of them. The activities have continued to get played with every day, which is huge when you don’t want to be wasteful. Give it a try, and I’ll guess that you will love it!
