Koala Crate: Rainbows
We received our first Koala Crate this month from Kiwi Co and I must say I was pretty impressed! A good friend got Reagan a 3-month subscription for her birthday. I had looked at it online a few times, so I was very excited to see what it was all about. This month’s theme was rainbows, so the “crate” included everything needed to complete 3 rainbow-themed art projects. Below is everything included:
Project 1: Sun Catcher
I have successfully completed sun catchers with Reagan in the past, but this kit made it EXTREMELY easy. The contact paper was cut/framed, the tissue paper was already in squares, and the backing was easy to stick right on. My daughter enjoyed this project and was able to do most of the work independently with NO MESS!
Project 2: Rainbow Tote Bag
This one turned out SO cute and was something I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. You simply wet the tote bag, layout tissue paper squares on top of it, and use an eyedropper to drip water onto the tissue paper. We chose to lay the squares out in rainbow order to it looked like a rainbow. The included dropper was a little difficult for my daughter, but with practice, she got the hang of it. Once all the squares were wet you simply let it dry and add cloud stickers to complete.
Project 3: Cloud Pillow with Rainbow
This project turned out cute, but I wish there was a little more to it. You start by peeling and sticking rainbow-colored semi-circles on top of each other to form a rainbow. Then, you fill the pillow with fluff and velcro it closed. It is cute and my daughter is enjoying playing with it but wasn’t much of a craft.
Overall, I was very excited about our first Koala Crate. It had some easy, fun crafts that were very age-appropriate for toddlers. I like that they have a central theme and a little magazine to go along with the activities. If the next 2 crates are as good as the first we may turn it into a monthly subscription!
Do you get Koala Crate or any other products from Kiwi Co? If so, I would love to hear what you think!
