Need Activities For Your Little Ones? Check Out KiwiCo!

August 25, 2020 /

Hi Darling!

I have been so excited to share this blog post! I am collaborating with KiwiCo and it could not be a better time. With the recent heat waves on top of COVID-19, I am sure I am not the only parent running out of activities to keep their kids entertained. Now more than ever, I am so grateful for our Panda Crates from KiwiCo. Evelyn was actually gifted these from her Aunt and Uncle for her first birthday and it has been a favorite of all of ours that we look forward to receiving every other month!

A few things I love about KiwiCo crates…

  • The simplistic, modern, wood design of most of their toys.
  • Inspires kids’ natural creativity and curiosity.
  • Fun to play with as a family but also great for independent play.
  • Each crate is extremely age-appropriate and educational. Most recently, Evelyn has been a little girl with BIG emotions and it was seriously the best time to receive her Feel with Me crate. This crate has helped her identify emotions and help me to remain patient (or at least try to) with her and understand she is going through a learning process.
  • Older crates are still exciting and fun. I am a big believer of less is more and prefer toys that serve multiple purposes. All of the KiwiCo products have grown with Evelyn and now she is having fun showing Noah how to play with them.
  • Provides tips for how to use the products to promote learning and development.
  • Includes additional easy at-home activities to do with our kids. This is such a BONUS! Days where we are stuck inside or I am solo parenting while Phil is at work/fires, these are such a lifesaver because they keep the kids extra busy!

Whether you have children of your own or you are looking for gift ideas, I highly recommend checking out KiwiCo! We were given the gift subscription for six Panda Crates over twelve months and a book was added on to each crate.

Below are details on what we have received so far!
