Kiwi Crate, is a craft based learning experience, arriving in your mail box once a month, disguised as crafty fun!
Part of the new box subscription fad, these great green (literally & figuratively) boxes are packed full of kid (Parent) friendly crafts, complete & detailed instructions, 95% of supplies needed, & continued learning theme ideas & resources. Good for at least a week of themed learning, or by getting creative & using some of the great ideas on the Kiwi Crate website, you could extend the theme longer!
The crate provides 2 complete projects. Though, I find that there are enough supplies for each of my 3 to be able to do at least 1 project, and team up for another. Kiwi Crate does offer the option of adding additional material to a crate or adding a 2nd crate for an additional, though reduced fee.
Extra crafting materials needed to complete a kit are often easily found around the house. And, bonus, any left over supplies are quality enough to save for another day!
Another nifty feature- each craft will list the skills used, ie..... fine motor, creating, science, discovering, exploring. Making your record keeping a breeze!!
Our newest crate, was 'Day at the Beach'. We made 2 crazy hermit crabs, & bubbly sea foam paintings.

A years subscription to Kiwi Crate (the best value) is $208- a little pricey for the average Joe, though for a years curriculum maybe it's not so bad. You are able to purchase a single crate in the theme of your choice for about $20, if you are needing something easy to stretch an idea.
Kiwi Crate did not pay me or sponsor this review in any way (but they could if they wanted to!)
Our year subscription was a gift from Mimi & GPH.
On the official BedazzledPineapple scale of quick, cheap & easy, Kiwi Crate scores a solid 2 out 3.
Very quick (once it arrives), & Very easy (mind the stick-um)
