Kiwi Crate is a subscription service designed to encourage creativity, exploration, and discovery for kids ages 3 to 7. Every month, subscribers receive a crate based on a fun and educational theme (such as bugs, colors, space, and gardening). Each box is brimming with all the materials and inspiration needed for two to three enriching activities in arts and crafts, science, or imaginative play. The design team proposes and prototypes arts and crafts projects, science experiments, and imaginative play activities designed to inspire creativity, exploration, and discovery. Each selected project must be engaging, enriching, and fun. Then the proposed projects are reviewed to ensure that each activity is age and developmentally appropriate and each project should encourage healthy growth and learning. The activities themselves are kid-led and driven, with grownup assistance. Each activity focuses on at least two of the following developmental areas: fine motor skills, gross motor skills, creating, discovering, exploring, communicating, and caring. Each project is then tested by kids in the on-site kid-testing lab to make sure that materials are engaging, kid-friendly, and actually fun. To sign up , visit kiwicrate.com.

Gift subscriptions are also available for 3-, 6-, and 12-month options (get one month free with an annual subscription).
