KiwiCo does it again! Celebrating a civil engineers birthday in this house, our kids gifted their dad this crate. They were so excited to see and create what their dad does for a living. Great quality and easy to understand! The books help facilitate everyone to dive in deeper! We absolutely love KiwiCo

A perfect level for my five year old - something he could do on his own, and things he needed help with. He was fascinated and really loved it. And he keeps coming back to it, day after day.
