For Christmas, SweetHart got us a subscription to Kiwi Crate. I had been seeing them on blogs, and thought they looked so great! We've gotten two of them now, and they live up to their reputation! Creative activities that the boys can do with minimal adult help, great quality supplies, we all love the "Kewey" (Kiwi - H) crate.
Our first one had cute little puppets to color, a puppet show to assemble and decorate scenes for, and a cute puppet.
It was so fun to put together. They even made the puppet with extra shoes so you can change them out. It comes with all the supplies you need, and plenty to do, so both boys are happily occupied.
C, having a great time coloring his scene. Somehow he colored his face too...
Our next Kiwi Crate had a winter theme. Polar bear ears and mitts to make a ball throwing game. They sewed their mitts together by themselves and then added velcro to the ball, and velcro Polar bear paws to the mitts. H did good with placement on his mitt, C looked like he was trying hard to follow the placement on the picture, but his paw looks like it ran into a bit of a landslide.
Window clings! The crate had cute little stencils and 3D paint to follow the stencil and let dry. I was a little skeptical that they would hold together, but they did! The boys were proud of their work. Of course, they didn't look too much like the seal, whale, or polar bear that they were supposed to be, but I think they turned out very well. There is plenty of paint left over, so I think we will have to make some more!
There are bits of facts in the booklets that come with the crate, and fun extension activities. This last one had facts about snowflakes, crystals and polar bears, and had directions and a cookie cutter to make snowflake sugar cookies and borax crystal snowflakes. We are already looking forward to the next Kiwi Crate to arrive!
