Kiwi Crate – Summer Activities for Kids

We’re right in the thick of Summer now, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the words, “Mom, I’m bored!” from my kids lately! It’s always nice to get a little break from school activities and homework, but it can be hard sometimes to come up with fun and educational things for the kids to do all Summer long. Just because school is out, I don’t want their brains to stop learning! So when I was contacted by Kiwi Crate to review one of their Summer crates for kids, I was SUPER excited! Kiwi Crates are a great way to keep kids learning, creating, and using their imaginations all throughout Summer! Look for an exclusive reader discount at the end of this post!

Have you heard of Kiwi Crate before? They are a monthly subscription service targeted at ages 3-7, and every month they ship a crate to your door filled with materials and inspiration all centered around a theme, such as space, pirates, dinosaurs, music, gardening and more! Each crate contains all the supplies you need to create 2-3 projects centered around art, science, games, imaginative play, and more. The crates are designed by parents, reviewed by child development experts, then tested and approved by kids, so you can be sure your children will have lots of fun while learning too!
A few weeks ago the Nature Explorer crate for June arrived at our door, and my kids were over-the-moon excited to get started! When we opened up the bright green box we found the cutest little character greeting us to come explore. The paper on top showed us exactly what we would be making with this crate: a starlight lantern and a collection box!

Inside the crate we found all kinds of fun things including the supplies to make our projects, detailed instructions, a deck of cards, a star punch, and a new pair of child’s scissors. Everything we needed was right inside that box, which was so much better than running around the house searching for scissors or crayons.

We first made the lantern, and it was super easy for my kids to do all by themselves. Even my 3 year old could punch out the stars! The boys loved the sweet little kiwi bird on all the materials too.

The crate included cute little star stickers, so there was no need for messy glue. A total bonus for me!

The boys loved their new lantern and were so proud of their creation. I was very impressed by the quality of all the materials and knew they would be able to use the lantern for a long time to come!

For the next project, the boys took turns coloring the adorable bug stickers for their collection box. One great thing about Kiwi Crate is you can add-on extra materials for siblings so there are no fights over who gets to do the projects! Isn’t that genius?

Once all the stickers were colored, the boys decorated their nature collection box and headed outside to find things to fill their box. The crate came with several inserts so you can sort your items by object, color, and more.

The boys had so much fun doing their projects and are continuing to play with the supplies from the crate, especially the deck of cards! It was so nice to have activities ready to go for them that I didn’t have to plan for, and they are already asking me when our next Kiwi Crate will arrive!
