Subscription box services are all the rage now for adults, but even kids can get in on the action with KiwiCo!
I love giving gifts that kids can use for longer than just a few days. It’s nice to know that a gift will last for a while and continue to bring kids joy. Inspire your kids’ or grandkids’ learning and creativity with a monthly subscription box from KiwiCo. Plus, the kids will love getting their own mail!
What is KiwiCo?
KiwiCo offers STEM, STEAM, and science kits for kids (and in some cases, teens and adults!). Each KiwiCo box includes all the materials and inspiration for kid-friendly projects related to a theme such as music, gardening, dinosaurs, or colors. Choose from KiwiCo boxes that feature arts and crafts, science activities, imaginative play, and more.
Options include:
- Panda Crate (0 – 24 months): Help babies learn by doing what they do best – playing, exploring, and interacting with loving adults in their lives.
- Koala Crate (ages 2 – 4): Expose preschoolers to new materials, tolls, and concepts for hands-on learning and fun.
- Kiwi Crate (ages 5 – 8): Celebrate kids’ natural creativity and curiosity with STEAM-based projects designed to spark a love for learning.
- Atlas Crate (ages 6 – 11): Help your child develop an appreciation for other world cultures through immersive, hands-on STEAM activities. (Check out our Atlas Crate Review for a sneak peek!)
- Doodle Crate (ages 9 – 16+): Dig into fun crafting tools and interesting techniques, and see how materials can transform.
- Tinker Crate (ages 9 – 16+): STEM concepts are infused into each crate’s themes with enriching projects and activities.
- Maker Crate (ages 14 – 104): Discover new art and design tools to help turn artistic visions into design realities.
- Eureka Crate (ages 14 – 104): Explore hands-on lessons in the creative application of the science principles behind real-world problems.

My KiwiCo Experience
I signed up for the Koala Crate for my 3-year-old daughter. We received the Ocean Games box pictured elsewhere in this post for one of the months and also a delightful Doctor’s Visit box.
My 3-year-old had so much fun putting her Doctor’s Visit kit together! The box comes with all the supplies you’ll need, plus a TON of suggestions for activities and games to play using the items in your box.
Even my 6-year-old got in on the action as they pretended to visit the doctor. So cute (and bonus – no batteries necessary in this kit!).
I was especially impressed with the supplemental information for parents. There is a booklet included that helps you use the items in the box to explore the theme more fully with your child. So besides just helping your child be comfortable with going to the doctor, you’ll also learn how to recognize and teach empathy in your child. It’s definitely not a disposable, “one-and-done” type of box!
