Robots and Coding

I liked it because I got the chance to make the design

My grandson and his dad loved putting it together.

We love kiwico items so much! And we wanted to love this… however the bunny robot just did not work. We followed the directions completely and it didn’t move at all. So unfortunately since that was the main project in this box, we put in a lot of work and didn’t get much out of it.  But that being said, we’ve tried a lot of the different kiwico crates and have been super impressed! This was a disappointment but will probably not hinder me from exploring new crates in the future. 

My 4 year old wasn’t really into making the pieces itself, but he did enjoy decorating his robot. Once all the pieces were put together, he spent all night doing the obstacles cards that come with this set. Once he completed all the cards, he went on to make his own obstacles and find ways around it! He had so much fun and loved the challenge. My husband and I loved seeing his imagination!

This is one of my daughters favorites. She played with this one longer then the others making different tracks. She even brought it to the park to show her friends. 

When the robot followed the track, my five year old said “my mind exploded!”

My son loved this! He’s still playing with it today. It was so nice to see his imagination flourish with this one. 

So far it’s been great. My 5 year old I was able to assemble the tracks (the foam parts) and can build different paths on his own. We have been going through the different puzzle cards of scenarios and they are great so far (we haven’t finished all cards yet).  It would be nice if the board were larger so the kids can build longer and more convoluted paths. The robot Pal that is assembled in step 1 doesn’t relate to the actual Rabot, but would be nice if there could be some activity associated with it too, other than just assembling it.

It was fun- putting in the foam bits was a little tedious and the kids lost interest after a few times (16 all together). They lived the little rabbit 

Loved the coding possibilities and alternatives

Solar System

This was a hit with the kids. It visually showed them how the galaxy is. 

The kids loved the painting and the fact that the sun lights up.  It was easy for them to do with just a bit of assistance and actually having to paint each planet let them become more familiar with the qualities (size/make up/orbit in relation to the sun).  Comic that came along with the set was great and the meteor popper was awesome as well.

My son loved it! And I loved that it was perfect at the time seeing that he was learning about the solar system so it made science class for him more fun! 

So cute. Easy and relaxing to do.
Love the painting part of the project to make the solar personalized. 

Granddaughter really liked it. Was a birthday gift. 


My 8yr old loved the solar system craft. She loves to paint and we homeschool so this was perfect. 

It was a big hit with my great- nephew, the first project he worked on after receiving his box. He's always excited to get each new kiwi crate every month and the special box was especially fun!

Fun project. Sun and light were a bit tricky and fell apart easily. Father and 5 year old did this together. 

We had a lot of fun building this and learning about the planets.

Easy to assemble, fun to paint, had everything we needed!

Create your own solar system mobile, complete with a light-up sun in the center.

Pinball Machine

Loved this! Encouraged my child to think about how the marbles traveled through a pinball machine and how she could switch up the pieces to achieve the movement she wanted. 

I 1,000% recommend this. I helped my son build it and he loved it.

Granddaughter loved putting it together and then playing it

My grandson and I had a lot of fun putting this kit together and playing with it afterwards. It's so easy to change the parts around to explore how to make different paths for the marbles. He said it reminded him of playing miniature golf and trying to get the ball to bounce off a wall or an obstacle, which led to an excellent discussion regarding math and physics. 

Label which side foam goes on would help.  A fun project 

This was a gift for a grand nephew who turned 10. He was able to put together by himself and we had fun playing with it. 

My 6 and 7 yr old grandsons really enjoyed this kit! They had so much fun putting it together. I would definitely recommend this pinball kit.

My Grand daughter  loved it. She is playing with that

Kiwi Crate Mechanics (3-Pack)

Great pack if not ready to commit to subscription 

It is amazing how my 5 year old, who normally does not sit still through the whole meal, spent an hour working through the "project",  then asked to start another immediately after.  The project doesn't stop when he is done building it.   He is constantly redesigning and changing the path on the game board.  I love all the endless possibilities, this is definitely a good way for young ones to explore and be creative. 

I bought this for my grandson and he loved it! It was fun to see him create and play with his creations!

Great crates as individual boxes, but since it was a 3-crate bundle, the Pinball Machine and the Marble Timer were very similar in concept so it wasn't as exciting. Perhaps the Marble Timer can be replaced with Cannonball launcher, Robots and Coding or Basketball Catapult it would have been a 5-star bundle!

Very fun

Our kindergartener is really smart but struggles to focus on anything. He loved these activities and was constantly engaged and excited about them. Awesome!

Loved this!
