For so many years, I've wanted to try out a KiwiCo Crate, and I finally did it! It was a hit with my 9-year-old daughter, and I am sorry that it took us SO LONG to delve into the world of these fun crate activities! We made probiotic buddy stuffies, homemade goo, and delicious kofta, and we learned a lot about how bacteria works plus played word games and more. Still on our to-do-list from our crate is the making of homemade yogurt and frozen yogurt, which we plan to do the first week of summer break.

You don’t have to engage in ALL the crazy-cool happenings going on around town to have a wonderful, meaningful time with your family this season. Perhaps you prefer a more laid-back approach.
