Our family loves with Kiwi Crate shows up on our door. Every month, the activities are so much fun to do.
When you first open the box, there is an information card with the main activities. This month's theme was “Wild West”. The main activities are “My Hobby Horse”, and “My Cattle Roundup”.
The back of the information card had Steve the Kiwi Bird and a little armadillo friend.
Explore Magazine is a fun magazine filled with cartoons, activities and projects. In this month's magazine were “My Tie Rattlesnake”. “My Covered Wagon” and a punch out cactus.
The first project was “My Hobby Horse”. This was low on the messiness scale and medium on the parental involvement scale.
The instructions fold out and show step by step instructions for the craft
Everything was included to make the hobby horse, but we were actually missing an ear. I ended up cutting it in half and making it work.
L had a great time making the hobby horse and I really didn't have to do too much.
The finished project. This turned out so cute.
L rode this all the way to bed.
The next activity was “My Cattle Roundup”. This had a low messiness scale and medium on the parental involvement.
This project involved sewing, and L is really good at that. L had a great time with this project
Kiwi Crate included a large game poster and all the materials to make bean bags.
The bean bags were super easy for L and he had a great time with the finished project.
The Finished Project, The bean bags turned out really cute.
The finished projects: The Hobby Horse and My Cattle Roundup.
All the materials
Kiwi Crate also included a booklet of all the various holiday crates, gift subscriptions, stocking stuffers and other cool gifts.
Final Thought: This was another great month from Kiwi Crate. L loved this months crafts. He has already named the horse and has ridden it around the house. The bean bag toss is also a really fun game. Kiwi Crate has never disappointed us. Every month the crafts and so much fun and they are lasting toys for my kids to play with.
