Mason and I have been pretty big on arts and crafts lately, so when we were offered the chance to review a Kiwi Crate I was pretty sure it would be a big hit. It’s a pretty cool idea. For $19.95 a month, you then get a new crate (full of crafts and projects) delivered to your door. It looks like this:
Inside is a bunch of fun crafts, projects, and things to do. Mason only sorta liked it:
The Kiwi Crate we got was all about colors. Rainbows, prisms, and just colors in general. Mason made a stained glass window out of tissue paper, contact paper, and a frame; he colored on some paper that we then attached to the supplied top and spun to watch the colors mix; he investigated the world from behind a pair of blue glasses; and he got to do my favorite part: make a colorful bag!
We started by getting the little bag all wet and putting it on a cookie sheet. Then Mason took tissue paper and laid it on top the bag in whatever pattern he wanted
Once he had the tissue paper all lined up the way he wanted, I handed him a dropper full of water. I thought for sure this would be where the craft turned disastrous, but he actually did it really really well!!
Mason and I watched the colors bleed onto the bag and once it was dry I was really impressed with the way it looked! Mason loves carrying his little bag around and filling it with toys, books, or anything else a 2 year old boy might need!
Kiwi Crate is definitely a fun thing, and something I think lots of kids would enjoy! The instructions for the projects were very clear and easy to follow, and they all encourage the kids to take pictures and post them on the Kiwi Crate website to share their artwork!
OMG! The founder of this company was a GENIUS! I love the idea. I will defiantly be talking the husband into getting this.

This is a great idea. I think I am going to order this because we arent even a month into winter and I am dying. It is really hard to keep kids entertained all.day.long when you cant play outside. Great post. Thanks for sharing. Oh, and M is just too handsome.

This a fabulous time and totally worth it when its freezing cold outside and you don’t want to bundle the kids up and run to the store!
