Nature Walk Lantern

My 6-year-old granddaughter loved this kit. I read the directions and provided some holding help but otherwise she was able to complete the project herself. The light is quite bright and should be great for a night walk. 

My niece loved this. She had so much fun collecting the nature items to add to the kit. I got a picture of her and the finished product and she looked thrilled to have put it together.

Fabulous item!  My granddaughter and I created the project together, and she is looking forward to making the second shade with the remaining materials.

Window Garden

Our daughter (about to turn 3) loves the garden so far.  It is a really cool way to introduce little ones to plant science.  Very easy to set up, and the bean started growing a noticeable beanstalk within a week.  (The squash is not growing, but I believe that is due to overwatering by our toddler.)  Would love to see more garden kits with other types of plants, too!

The girls 4, 5, and 6 loved it and soaked their interest into a real garden. 

wonderful experience - and super easy to keep the plants alive! 

Easy to assemble and they stay in place on the window really well! My granddaughter was so delighted when the squash plant popped out of the soil; definitely a great experience for the whole family to share.

My kiddos LOVE having this on their bedroom window! They enjoy watching them grow. It makes them so proud! Thanks KiwiCo! 

This kit is a joy. Even though my 21-month-old can’t do everything required, having her be able to watch germination/seedling development in action is deeply rewarding. A very user-friendly kit.

I can't believe how quickly it's growing.  So fun for the kids.  
Also - I had a minor issue and had one of the best customer service experience as ever.  Thank you. 

The ONLY thing I would want different is for the clear planting containers to be a bit more stout.

My son loved planting his beans and enjoys watching them grow. We're getting ready to plant them somewhere bigger! 

My daughter absolutely loves this. It's the first thing she does in the morning. She can't wait to water them and fill in the water droplet in the observation journal! Best purchase yet!

This kit was fantastic! She was learning about plants in school so this was perfect. Easy to setup and they sprouted very quickly. 

My 4.5 year old who loves to garden absolutely LOVES this set. It grew very quickly in our window. Very impressive. She has enjoyed looking at the roots and watching how much they grow daily.

We loved it, it was a great learning experience. 

My children are in love with giving their sprouts “a drink” and looking for changes each day! They have planned to plant the first set of spouts and then plant more seeds until they have no more left. They love having their own garden, just like Grandpa! 

Learn about plant science in a hands-on way, by assembling your own suction-cup window planters and growing a set of green bean and squash plants. Learn to take care of your plants, identify new plant parts as they sprout, and make yummy dishes using fruit and other plant parts!

Have a <I>blast</I> — with two piston-powered splash blasters you build yourself! Construct a pump tube to suck up water, then press the plunger to spray your friends. Swap in different splash disk pieces to change up the blast pattern and experiment with single-stream blasts, multi-spray blasts, and more. Play a variety of blaster games, then get pumped about pumps and learn all about the science behind your blaster. Water you waiting for?

Splash Blasters

We gave this as a gift after having bought it for our family about a year ago. The Splash Blasters bring opportunities for so much fun and exploration. 

Did get to use them a lot, but the 8 year old was able to assemble them and that is good.

Splash Blaster is easy to assemble. Kids ages 5 and 9 loved assembling it and playing with it. Durable!  Thoughtfully designed.  Nicely done, KiwiCo.

My 6 year 9ld loved building and playing with these. 

We loved this crate (6 yr old grandson, 4 yr old granddaughter, and their Nonna). Had a great time learning about pumps, building the Blasters and then trying them out using the different discs. Nonna learned a lot too! 

Very fun to build and use. The O-ring seal is very weak so it fills only a quarter or less than it should, but it’s still quite fun. 

This was an awesome science and fun activity for the entire family! I ordered enough so we each had one. We built them then went outside and had a water war on a very hot day! It was great!

The kids love these splash blasters. Easy to put together and just enough water “get” someone with without really blasting too hard. Easy to use - I highly recommend 

So straightforward to assemble.  Even old ladies can do it.  And wicked fun to use!

My 6 year old son LOVES this one!  It makes 2 blasters so we did the first one together and he could do the second one by himself.  He had to run to take a bath right after to test them out and can't wait to try them out at the beach. The info about pumps (including how our heart is a pump) was interesting to both of us.   This crate was the perfect amount of content for his attention span.

Oil and water may not mix, but kids and chemistry definitely do! First, set up your own chemistry lab. Add fizzy tablets to oil and dyed water to make an underwater “volcano,” make colorful, swirly art, explore the concept of density when you build an oil-and-water-powered ship-in-a-bottle, and more!

Oil + Water Chemistry

This was great fun, and my grandson particularly enjoyed making the ship in the bottle. He still has it 13 months after making it

Very thoughtfully constructed set. Accessible to my inquisitive 4yo. The tools are perfectly sized and equally captivating.

My gtandson had so much fun with this kit! He loves it!

kept my grandson busy for quite awhile.  He loved experimenting


My 2 year old absolutely loved this box. So happy I added it in between crates. 

This was so much fun for my 3yo. We spread the activities out over the course of the week. It's been almost 3 hours of activities altogether. Each activity was so much fun. 

What we liked:  each activity in the kit was fun (except one); most of the ingredients can easily be found at home, so you can continue to experiment; the instructions and materials were great to get the lab set up, and once you are all set up, that's all you need.
What we didn't like:  the underwater fireworks didn't really work and there was no troubleshooting guide to suggest what might have gone wrong - it only did the "fireworks" when we took our own step and added colored water at the top.

My kids loved this kit. We spread it out over a week. It was their reward for being good each day. 

2 hours of learning and fun for both my kids.

Grow your creativity with a chalkboard planter! Decorate your planter with a pair of stick-on shoes and chalk face, then give your pal a wheatgrass hairdo you grow yourself. Keep track of your plant’s growth with an observation journal, and when you’re ready for a new look, swap the plant out or draw on a new face!

Draw & Grow Planter

I loved the speed at which the grass grew.  My grandson was so excited to see his plant grow and change from seed to plant. 
I didn't like the chalk.  My grandson made the face on the planter but then we watered the plant, the face washed away and that upset him.  We redid it with paint and that worked much better

Little one loves this! He wanted to stick all the feet stickers on the feet but wanted them all to show, so that was a challenge. He was really excited to water his plant every day until it started to sprout then he wanted to pull them all out.

my grandson absolutely loved this! he got to draw on the pot and he waters it everyday makes him so happy

We loved this! My 3.5 year old liked drawing the face on the planter, and the grass grows very quickly. He also loved giving his plant a haircut, which was excellent fine motor skill practice.

My 4 yr old son loved this!! We check it every couple days and trim it down. He enjoys drawing new faces on it as well. A great project all around. 

My kids loved this crate! Of course their fav part was getting their hands dirty! Also how quickly it grows! 

Love this cute plant! The only thing I would say is that it comes with lots of dirt to the point where it overflows if you use it all so I'd advise to just use two soil discs. Other than that my son and I had fun putting it together and watching it grow! 

I bought this for my 3 year old granddaughter.  Her brother will go to school in the fall while she has “Mama school” at home for a half hour.  The planter will be used during her “school”.  It looks like a great project.  She’ll have a cardboard ruler to hold up to the plant and color in the progress of the growth.  She’ll learn about what a plant needs to grow plus learning that it can continue growing even after a haircut.  She’ll also get to practice cutting something besides paper.  The chalkboard pot is another bonus since 3 year olds learn about emotions (sad, happy, excited, scared, etc.) and Mama can help give the plant different expressions to talk about while my granddaughter can add ears.  There are lots of possibilities besides just growing a plant.  There is always new vocabulary to learn with each new experience, like “expand” when the water is added to the soil pod.  Great project which can be used over and over.

Just amazing. We had growth in 2 days. Full size in 4

Decorate your planter with a pair of stick-on shoes and a customizable chalk face, then complete your little planter pal with a wacky wheatgrass hairdo you grow yourself!

Giant Bubbles

The twins loved the giant bubbles and the way the changed color as they floated by. So much fun!!

our grand daughter was thrilled. Was great to see her so happy playing with this.  Loved it

This kit was fun when it worked. Unfortunately we almost immediately lost 2 of the stoppers that keep the rope on the wands after a couple of bubbles. They need a better option for keeping the rope on the wands

This gift was requested and the recipient couldn't be happier. He has had so much fun building then using it to make the best bubbles. Even the dog joined in who is not usually fussed. Highly recommend.

Grandson loved it! He’s four and was able to use all items easily 

Terrific. But Kiwico should include more bubble solution or make it available for purchase elsewhere on their website.

My 4 and 6 year old granddaughters loved this! The 6 year old got more of the science and experimented more. The 4 year old just had great fun. Both Chose to play with bubbles for many days.

Another KiwiCo hit!  My 5 and 7 year olds put the wands together easily on their own and continued playing with them outside for over an hour.  

My children love playing with the bubble kit!
