Our family loves monthly subscription boxes! The children eagerly anticipate delivery day and have wide eyes as they open their box and discover what is inside. I love listening to their joyful whoops and enthusiastic commentary as they discuss the theme of each of their boxes.
Some of our favorite STEM kits by far have been Tinker Crates and their younger companion, Kiwi Crates. So, here’s all you need to know about KiwiCo’s subscriptions.
Why We Love Kiwi Crates
As our kids have grown and their interests have changed we’d tried several subscription boxes. Our youngest, Noah, is currently enjoying Kiwi Crates. They’re engaging, inspiring, and fun!
Kiwi Crates are designed for ages 5-8. Each crate comes with a detailed instruction sheet and a small book which includes information about the topic and additional experiments.
This month’s theme was Ice Lab. Noah investigated density by conducting a series of colorful experiments using icy, salty water. He also learned about the science of crystallization by creating crystal-coated snowflake sun catchers.
Why I Think You’ll Love Kiwi Crates
Everything needed is provided, which is one of the reasons I love these subscription boxes — they are completely “open-and-go” with no extra supplies to gather. If you’re a busy Mom looking for an already planned, educational activity set for your kids, Kiwi Crate is fantastic.
Kiwi Crate day is a highly anticipated day of fun and wonder. The kids usually spread everything out on the floor and spend a couple of hours creating. They learn about STEM concepts, build their sense of independence, and have a great time. And, because of the extra activities provided, the fun usually lasts for days. The content is great and it’s a win for our whole family.
Kiwi Crates cost $16.95-$19.95 per month depending on the length of subscription you choose. They run promotions regularly and always provide free shipping on subscriptions. If you don’t want to commit to a subscription, I suggest trying a crate out. We have purchased single crates as gifts and they are always well-received.
