If you haven’t already seen it, and your children love
crafts, Kiwi Crate is something you should check out.
What you’ll find inside is everything you need to make a
pair of stomping dinosaur feet or a fossil. “Our crates are designed around fun
themes and filled with all of the material and inspiration for hands-on
projects,” said a Kiwi Crate spokesperson. “Explore with arts and crafts,
science activities, imaginative play and more.”
I’m not sure on the story behind the funny fruit name
(maybe because the box is green?), but I’ve seen the crates and love the idea.
Where was this when my children were little?
It works like a magazine subscription. Subscribers can
choose a monthly subscription for $19.95, which includes shipping; an annual
subscription for $220, with one month free; and three- and six-month
subscriptions for $60 and $110. Gift subscriptions are available to those
looking for a unique gift for moms and dads, birthdays, grandparents and anyone
who homeschools. “I loved the ability to open a box and have everything needed
for an afternoon of fun and learning,” said one mom, who homeschools her four
children. “The lessons and activities can be used for an afternoon (if you are
like me and get too excited for your own good), or used throughout a week or
with the lessons you are already teaching.”
Kiwi Crate is designed to be simple for children ages
3-7. Once you subscribe, choose what crates to receive. Each one is designed by
a creative team and guided by an advisory board that includes experts in
science, art, education and child development. Kiwi Crate also staffs a crew of
kids who put the projects to the test to ensure they are, most important, fun
to do.
“Kiwi Crate is totally great for overwhelmed and busy
parents. New, fresh ideas come to me and my kids. Every month, we’re so excited
to see the green box,” wrote a mother from New York in her testimonial to Kiwi
Crate.
Another mom who subscribes said the kits contain
everything you need for the desired project and that the materials are of high
quality.
Besides all of this, the crate arrives in the mail. What
child doesn’t get excited about a package delivered to their home with their
name on it?
