Summer S.T.E.M Activity Kiwi Crate
This summer we have been receiving a subscription box from Kiwi Crate. The activities range from arts & crafts, explore & discover, play and learn, STEM, and the science of cooking. My son is 9 and we have been receiving the Tinker Crate. These kits include materials to build creative innovative stem projects along with additional information on the subject built. We just completed our 4th crate which was a drip irrigation system.
I asked my son when we finished the last crate if he would like to continue getting Kiwi Crate and his answer was… YES!!
If I can get my son to want to do a science activity once a month, that says a lot about the research and planning Kiwi Crate invests in their products.
