Kiwi Crate

I first heard of Kiwi Crate almost a year ago.  It is a monthly subscription program of arts & crafts projects in a box - everything you need for 2-3 activities.  It looked well done and high quality.  I thought about getting a subscription for Camden's birthday, but wasn't quite ready.  Well, I finally broke down and bought a year subscription starting December.  Her first box arrived just before Christmas, but I held it back until this week of "down time."
 

 

The first box had an Antarctic theme.


It also had a welcome card with a new pair of scissors.


We decided to tackle the penguin bowling project first.

 

How adorable!



She only wanted to bowl for a short time, but it was still fun.



We went ahead and did the second project.  It was aurora postcards using oil pastel crayons.  She creatively added splotches of color using the crayons.



Next she covered the whole card with watercolors to create a beautiful "northern lights" scene.


It turned out very cool (funny face and all!).


The best part is we have leftover art supplies for future creations.  We look forward to our next crate to arrive this month!

Looks like she had a lot of fun with this! Wish this had been around when my kids were little because they would have loved it! The penguin bowling and oil pastel postcard is great! Very creative!
