Tadpole KiwiCo Crate

- A water coloring mat
- Board books
- Dramatic play items

“This is one of the things I love best about these crates – they grow with your child! Similar to other KiwiCo boxes, I found the materials in the Tadpole Crate to be high quality and sturdy. The project instructions were clear, age-appropriate and easy to follow. Best of all, my son had fun while learning and developing new skills.”-MySubscriptionAddiction.com
Koala KiwiCo Crate
The Koala KiwiCo Crate is for preschoolers ages 3 to 4. Some of the activities included might include:
- Art activities
- Crafts
- Math games

“KiwiCo is by far my favorite subscription service for kids that I’ve tried. The kids LOVE doing the crafts together and it’s such a great way to spend some quality time with them. I’m not a naturally crafty person/mom so I think it’s an amazing value for the ideas, projects, and materials that you get.”– Mommy to Max
Kiwi KiwiCo Crate
The Kiwi KiwiCo Crate is for school-aged kids ages 5 to 8. These are science and art based activities that include activities like:
- A maker project
- Science experiments
- Crafting projects
“I have a 4 year old daughter and a 5 year old daughter and we got this as a gift for them to share. This is something they look forward to doing together and my Husband and I enjoy doing them as well! They are so well put together, fun and they learn a lot from doing them.”- Karin R.
Atlas KiwiCo Crate
The Atlas KiwiCo Crate is for older kids, ages 6 to 11, and focuses on geography and culture. Activities might include things like:
- Information and activities about a certain area of the world
- Books on different cultures
- Arts or crafts based on different cultures

“Atlas Crate by Kiwi Co is by far one of the best, if not the best option out there today. From the hands-on learning and discovery of science, tech, engineering, art, and math concepts all the way to the immersion of new cultures, Atlas Crate, is a great way to learn about our beautiful world without ever needing to bring a passport.”- UrbanTasteBud.com
Doodle KiwiCo Crate
The Doodle KiwiCo Crate is for kids ages 9 to 16 or older who love art and design. Some of the projects you will find in this crate include things like:
- A wood-working clock
- New painting techniques like sumi-e ink
- Candle-making project
“Doodle Crate is for my Tween girls. They have great craft projects included. They are pretty detailed and not just a 5-minute art project. These are things like Weaving, Screen Printing, Watercolor Calendar, Homemade Colored Pencils, Clay Pencil Holder, and a Furoshiki Tote Bag. They are perfect activities for kids 9-16 who love to learn about art and design techniques.”- TreasuredMom.com
Tinker KiwiCo Crate
The Tinker KiwiCo Crate is for the same ages as the Doodle Crate – ages 9 to 16 or older, but this crate focuses on engineering and science. Your child will get the opportunity to build different projects and experiment with physics by creating their own project and watching video tutorials:

- Make their own fiber-optic star scape
“We have been subscribers to these boxes for almost 18 months now. My kids literally ask all month when their boxes are arriving. Instructions are easy enough that they mostly can do them themselves (they are ages 7 and 12). The projects are interesting and hold their attention well after they have completed the build.” -Tiffany W.
Eureka KiwiCo Crate

Building a set of headphones is something I would have considered to be an awesome project as a kid and I love that they are such a practical item. The sound quality is great and they are really comfortable. I definitely plan on using these!”- MySubscriptionAddiction.com
