These days, it's becoming harder for parents to come up with things for their kids to do. The more options that are out there, the more it feels like an impossible task to find the right thing. That's especially true for parents who want to balance the fun with the educational.
Enter KiwiCo, a favorite for STEAM activities that are actually a ton of fun. The company creates crates to engage kids of all ages in activities that usually leave them a little something fun to play with when the learning is through. There are casual fun facts with educational elements that seem more like a cool "Did you know?" than a lesson. There is even some stuff that adults will enjoy on their own.
Celebrity parents are starting to see the upside of KiwiCo. Here are five celebrity parents who are having a blast enjoying KiwiCo products with their little ones.
Reese Witherspoon
Reese and her 8-year-old son, Tennessee, learned to love KiwiCo during their time at home.
"What a fun afternoon! ," she wrote.
"My little guy and I have been doing A LOT of at home learning this year and @kiwico_inc has truly been a lifesaver in making it easy to create fun and educational moments at home. All the materials are included and they'll send you new projects each month … no more digging around for scissors and glue. ✂️."
Dax Shepard and Kristen Bell
Dax Shepard may have been having more fun with the KiwiCo crates of his daughters, 7-year-old Lincoln and 6-year-old Delta, than they got to have. Thankfully, wife Kristen Bell caught it all on camera.
"I'm considering a career change … I want to go to space," he jokingly captioned his video.
"Thanks to @kiwico_inc for letting me take a turn at the fun my kids have every month with these crates!"
Gabrielle Union
Gabrielle Union shared a sweet video enjoying a crate with 2-year-old daughter Kaavia. Anyone who knows Kaavia knows she's not easy to impress, but the crate delivered.
"We found something to keep Kaav entertained that isn't a mirror or a cell phone," Gabrielle joked.
"@kiwico_inc is a monthly subscription crate that includes super cool hands-on projects and toys designed to expose kids to concepts in STEAM. So if you need a holiday gift idea, or are just flat out of ideas for your kids – I can assure you this will give them HOURS of fun."
Andy Cohen
Andy Cohen and his 2-year-old son, Ben, love to try new things. Exploring KiwiCo crates was natural for the father and son.
"We have been at this for hours!" Andy shared.
"Ben and I are loving our @KiwiCo_Inc subscription boxes. He has so much fun with these hands-on projects and toys, and as a parent I absolutely love watching him learn through play."
