Color-Mixing LED Crystal

It was great and fun to put together but some times it’s hard to control it and it blinks.

I’m going to get this crate its being delivered soon I like the design I looks like a stand to a museum i really recommend kiwico I love it when I hear a video I sponsored by it I am kiwi co #1 fan

My 10 year old enjoyed putting this together. This project fully engaged her in so many levels. 

It was fun to build and it’s a good design.

Make a color-mixing LED crystal and explore the physics of color!

Bubble Machine

Fun to build and use. Worth the investment. 

I loved it very much, and I think it’s very creative.

This was a fun build! It wasn’t too hard to build and it worked just great!

My 8yo enjoyed building this project so much. It’s fun for her to see how all the pieces work together and the end result of building something with her own hands vs she typical just buy pre-made is very satisfying for her. I got 3x of this as gifts for her friends!

Such a  fun project both during the build and after.  We loved observing how the bubbles “changed” when moving the blower into different slots.  Great project for big kids and littles.  

My son love the bubble machine.my son Ryker couldn't stop playing with the bubble machine he enjoyed every minute of it.It was very easy for him to put it together 

This works way better than I expected, my daughter is 5 and loves it.  She needed help putting it together, but not too much. 

So captivating once we put it together and it worked. The foam pieces didn’t seal all the way, and the blue paper was sitting on the spinning motor in a way that made it slower. We had to take it all apart, put everything in suuuuuper perfect (not great for kids, there should be room for error). Then I used a hot glue gun so the foam circle would sit further up and not impede the spinning thing. I do wish the materials worked on their own to begin with, this is pretty much impossible without adult help

Put water to work with hydraulics! Engineer your own hydraulic lifting claw with tubes, syringes, and water before putting it through a series of fun challenges. Then, explore how hydraulic systems work and see how they can be incorporated into heavy machinery, art installations, and even animatronics!

Hydraulic Claw

It was the perfect rainy day project as it kept my daughter occupied and learning.

I have been obsessing over Kiwico for months and finally ordered some of the items that managed to arrive all the way to the UK in good nick. 
My son is a wee 5 year (below the suggested age group for this item) but understands the concept of ‘hydraulics’ because we subscribe to Mel science boxes catered to 5 year olds and one of the box was about hydraulics. Both my son and I were impressed with the contents of the box and how it is such a layered project - so you don’t finish the project as soon as we finish building one thing. The book that came in the box is good too. He has been inventing his own contraptions and seems to enjoy himself while playing with his invention. 
I look forward to buying more things from kiwico store but they seem to have limited items that can be shipped to the UK which is a shame. 

My son liked this project but it was difficult to get it connected to the box & to make it fully functional. Still his 2nd favorite project 

My son absolutely loved the hydraulic claw! He wasn’t expecting it and really didn’t know what it was until we got into the science of it. Once it was completed he said it was “So Cool” and his favorite box yet. 

My nephew really loved putting this together, and together with my niece, have discovered that there are tons of things in my sister's house that they can pick up!

Enjoyed any minute putting it together with my son and still enjoying it see him playing with it  

Liked this one a lot. First box that I got for my 4 year old daughter so I did do most of the work for it but I like the little experiment page that goes over the difference between using air VS water and how it makes a difference in compression. I would like more kits like this that have little side experiments that I can do with my daughter so she can have a better understanding of how things work and why it’s important to use one thing vs another. I do wish it came with a little food coloring pods or something to use in the water because that does make it easier for her to understand which syringe moves certain parts of the claw. Overall fun project (: 

great design. works awesome, although with all the weight of the hydraulics, over time it starts to bend over. Maybe add some support in the main arm to keep to more ridgid

My granddaughter really enjoyed building the claw and learning about hydraulics. The one flaw in the design was the base. Soon after attaching the claw to the box, it became wobbly and began to tilt - almost to the point of falling over. We switched the box around and tried again, but had the same result. I think it needs a better system of attachment to the box.

Paper Circuits

My 11 yr old loved making the paper circuits. He was able to do it on his own & was very proud of the end result. The lights are very bright & the little lamps switch out easily from the base. Just pick it up & put on a different style. 

The directions were great and the kids had no problem understanding them.

Easy to understand

It was fun having the different color options. It was easier than the other crates which my daughter liked she felt more like she could do it on her own.

Love color options

Quality was good. Plenty of supplies. And was cool for kids

Great quality  

My daughter loved this one. Easy to follow and loved the interchangeability of the colors... I think she tried every combination and then had us vote on which color went best with each shape to compare opinions.

Color combinations!

I liked that the instructions were easy to understand and it taught me a lot on how circuits work.

Learning about circuits

My son enjoyed putting the circuits together.

Enjoyed assembly

It was difficult enough that it held his interest and kept him working at it in order to complete the project.

Nice challenge

My older grandsons loved it, they are 12 years old. My younger grandsons had some trouble understanding what to do they are 9 years old.

Great for grandsons

It was creative, well setup and had enough options in it.

Bottle Rocket

Great fun.  Took a little while to get the knack of the launch but would definitely buy again :)

It was really straightforward to put together and worked really well.  Was  very fun 

My son and husband and I all absolutely loved this one!  We took it out to launch several times!  

Very easy and fun project. My son loves it! It shoots pretty high. Good time. 

Please send more baking soda and citric acid next time. And balloons that are more elastic!

I have to say this one was the best even for me! Lol my son LOVED this rocket! He found it so fun and even while putting it together he was super excited to watch it launch! Love that everything was provided. 

My kids (ages 8 and 10) loved the rocket!! Multiple uses - highly recommend.

My kiddos (8 and 10) did this crate as part of summer camp. The rocket assembly directions were easy to follow. The construction is surprisingly sturdy. We did struggle a bit to keep the foam cone attached, but it flew fine without it.  It took a few tries to get it to launch successfully, but that encouraged experimentation. There were plenty of extra ingredients to launch several times. My hubby and I kept playing long after the kids lost interest, and we used it again several days later. 

Since my granddaughter is only 7, this one was harder for her to read and understand by herself. Her mom helped her to understand the directions and she was able to do it with minor assistance. They sent me a video , but I don't know how to send it. The rocket on the second or third time went as high as the peak of their townhouse roof. They are in a two story.


We had so much fun with this! Completed with girls—ages 7 and 10. Both loved it so much! Lots of squealing and laughing and they launched it over and over. The foam point wouldn’t stay on after it got wet, so that was the only downside. Otherwise, it was perfect!

My 5 year old grandson and I did this together and he absolutely loved it(so did Mimi). It didn't spin like it said it would and he was sure to point that out, but we still had a great time building it and watching it soar.

My son and I loved Putting it together and enjoyed every minute of it. It's the best product and my son will have these memories to last a lifetime.
