CMP favorite Kiwi Crate has been keeping kids I know engaged in fun, educational, and creative projects for the past few years since they launched., and now they offer a trio of crates specifically for summer, to help banish the dreaded “b” word that is bound to be uttered after the initial excitement of summer’s arrival has worn off.
(That would be “boredom.”)
Kiwi Crate’s Summer Crates each includes two to three hands-on projects for toddlers through teens that are centered around seasonal themes like bubble making, wind chimes, ice cream making, solar lanterns, and nature kaleidoscopes.Perfect for keeping little hands busy on a rainy day or on a day when the summer sun is just too hot for running around outside.

One thing I especially like about these summer crates is that the items inside each include ideas for getting outside. Like allowing kids to decorate a mini drawstring backpack using the power of the sun. Or a water-gun squirting game you’ll definitely want them to take out of doors.
So many DIY projects kids can do while taking breaks from begging you for more money for the ice cream truck.

Cute idea! I too love how it ties into going outdoors.
I can’t recommend Kiwi Crates enough! My 4.5yo twin boys have been getting them for about a year now. They’re so excited to see what’s in store each month, and we’ve never been disappointed. The materials are very good quality, and I love that they include everything you need to complete the project, right down to the glue or crayons. I pay a little extra each month to get enough supplies for my two boys. Occasionally, they also throw in a little something extra – like this last box included a package of dried fruit (they partnered with another company). It’s really perfect – I enjoy putting the projects together with them as much as they do!
