Our children have been lucky enough to have a Grandma (aka Bubby) who loves to give them gifts at Christmas that keep on giving.   We found out about Kiwi Crate  years ago and have never looked back!    It's a gift that sparks their creativity....gets them thinking....working independently.  Using the highest quality products, Kiwi Crate comes up with the cutest and most inventive crafts for your children.  There is so much learning involved also. With little booklets that explain all about the topic and a magazine that comes with each order.  All the guess work is taken out of it for you, the parent or grandparent.   I so encourage you to find out more about Kiwi Crates and see if a subscription is right for the special child in your life.  If you think your child would better be suited for a Science themed box every month, then you want to check out their new crate option - Tinker Crate !  Ho...

Last year I saw an ad for Kiwi Crate and was intrigued by it.  What are Kiwi Crates you ask?     *This post contains affiliate links. See policy at the end of the blog. Kiwi Crate is a monthly subscription service for kids. Each month, subscribers receive boxes filled with fun and engaging kids' projects.

Umm..Monday was a blurr I guess....lol...Hubby had the day off and he took all three children snow skiing.  They are so enjoying the snowy weather and time with their dad!  Of course, instead of spending those 4 hours in bliss by myself...I worked on school lesson plans...LOL...when they got home we ate lunch and started right in on school. It was a big day for our nation and I was not going to skip this teaching moment! We actually watched the Private swearing in on Sunday at noon on TV - the kids were skiing when the "fun stuff" was happening yesterday.  We were able to learn some from our Scholastic reader magazines. Girls had fun with this cute game from Teaching Heart Sidebar: Found these great signs at Dollar Tree - funny how they just jumped into my card 8) We made Macaroni Penguins out of felt.  Continuing with our Solar System fun - we watched this episode from The Magic School Bus .
