KiwiCo Review: Will my kids like their KiwiCo box?
If you are wondering whether or not YOUR kids will like KiwiCo boxes…let me tell you a little about what MY kids thought…
We received a Tinker Crate from KiwiCo to try out with my 8 and 10 year old children. This particular crate had a DIY Hydraulic Crane.
Using the easy to follow directions and the included materials, my daughter’s had such a blast building different cranes and claws that they powered with their own hydro-powered tubes.
As a teacher and homeschooling mom, it was awesome to watch them first learn the fundamentals oh how the hydraulic system worked (including when my 8 year old accidentally sent water shooting across the room at me!)
Once the learned the fundamentals, they were able to easily apply that learning to make a whole host of other designs using the hydraulic tubes to power them.
The best part…this was just from ONE BOX. Funding out that another kiwico box was coming the following month was met with cheers from my excited kids!
That excitement is why I wholeheartedly recommend this subscription box for other parents!

Absolutely. If you are unsure whether or not your child will enjoy using a KiwiCo box, you can start with a one time box and see what all the fuss is about!
How to use KiwiCo boxes to supplement your homeschool program.
Are you a homeschooling parent? One of the challenges with homeschool curriculum, is that the science programs are not always as hands-on and exciting as our kids would like.
If you would like to give your child more hands-on options for science learning or really step up your child’s exposure to art and design…KiwiCo is the perfect supplement to increase learning and engagement.
The boxes can easily be independent activities or shared between siblings that are in the same age range for a small group project.
KiwiCo is perfect for keeping kids busy during summer break!
When summer is in full bloom no one wants their kids sitting in front of the television all day. If you are looking for something to help your kids stay engaged and busy that doesn’t require you to constantly sweat your mascara off…KiwiCo crates are a great summertime activity for kids!
With so many fun and interesting projects, this is a great time to try out the crate that aligns with your kids age and interests!

This is awesome! Definitely, kids will love this and also they can learn practically. I am going to try this for my kid. Thanks for the review and the pics you have shared.
It is such a great kit for letting them explore and learn! I hope your kids love it!
I love this idea! I can see how it can be very valuable for kids. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome!!
My boys would love something like this, especially my older son. I love that they give you the option to buy just one box. We won’t be home for a few weeks but I’ll have to try this when we get back for something he can do in the last few weeks before school starts.
The one box option is such a great thing. I hate having to sign up for a year’s worth when I’m unsure!
Wondering if it’s great for 2.5 years old yet?
Yes! Either the tadpole or the koala kit would be perfect for a 2.5 year old!
This is the first time that I heard about Kiwico, this sounds so cool
It really is an awesome kit! My kids sure love them!
It seems subscription boxes are all the rave and I’m digging this one! I have a son that loves to deconstruct and his grandfather is an engineer so I’m sure they would bond over something like this.
For sure…it is honestly the best one we have tried!
we love KIWICO!!! We have been receiving the crates for a little while and my kids love them! So many fun projects and new discoveries! Thanks for sharing!
Yes…they are super fun. My kids think I’m cool now for getting it for them…lol!
I’ve never heard this before but it is awesome for kids! I think they would love this!!
It’s definitely a lot of fun!
This is so neat! My husband is an engineer and really interested in getting our kids (when we have them) hooked on STEM. This seems like a great way to pique their interest and also have lots of fun!
That looks so cool. I do not have kids yet but didn’t know about this kind of box. Nice to know!
This is very helpful information because I have a few kids I work with who love science, and this kit might be perfect for them. I will take a closer look and share the information with the parents. Thanks!
