Kiwi Crate Subscription Box Review & Coupon –

As Summer winds down, Kiwi Crate sent some crafts that will have the kids enjoying the mild days and cool evenings outside.  Kiwi Crate is a kids’ craft and activity subscription and it comes with everything you need to create 2 excellent crafts. This box is geared for ages 3-7. Use coupon code MS30 to save 30% on your first box of Kiwi Crate (or KiwiCo family subscriptions Tinker Crate, Koala Crate, and Doodle Crate).

The August Kiwi Crate included two activities great for a long weekend at the lake — paddle boats for day, and Chinese lanterns for evening.  Kiwi Crate is very good about, depending on your perspective, either making the kids build their toys, or providing crafts that are fun to play with.  In either case, there is always plenty of opportunity for guided and self-directed exploration.

It’s fun to color in, and my son always carefully selects the right color for Steve the Kiwi.

Each box includes a completion sticker to proudly display on their Adventures poster.

Kiwi Crate includes all the supplies you need for two main crafts, plus explore! magazine.  You really need very little from home to do the crafts.  Usually, your only need a pair of scissors (which is sent to you with a new subscription!).

Each issue of explore! magazine  features a short comic, experiments and puzzles or picture or word find type games.  My son likes to complete the explore! activities cover-to-cover before proceeding to the crafts. Our daughter sneaks the book out first and reads the entire thing.

It has additional information and crafts and activities you can complete with household supplies to keep the fun going.

my fish lantern. The completed craft is great for a night light or to add some fun atmosphere to an evening meal or game night on the porch. Some adult help is useful for stretching the lantern shell onto the support, but the rest is very kid friendly. Everything you will need for this is included, even a cup for the glue.

So pretty and fun!

my paddle boats.  Whether racing in the tub or floating in the lake, the kids will have a great time decorating and sailing their very own boat.  Complete supplies are provided, including some extra rubber bands for extending the life of your boat (or over-torquing your paddle wheel).   

The crafts included truly everything you need, making this Kiwi Crate a great item for busy parents or Grandma’s house.  Some explorations call for additional household items (always readily available stuff), but the main activities are almost always self-contained.

If you want an overview of the instructions and magazine or just want to see one of the boats go, Brandy did a quick video review. Our kids love Kiwi Crate because it is the best box in the Kiwi family for them both to do (they are four and six).  The activities and instructions are generally very simple, but the kit always includes some factoids and extension activities that keep our older child interested.
