My big girls get cool stuff all the time.  When we get books to review, they’re most often for the older girls.  Toys and activities – usually for the big girls.  Baby things are for baby brother, of course.  And Livia, at 3, tends to “fall through the cracks” in the middle.

The older girls are really excited right now, for instance, about a cooking kit we’re checking out (you’ll see that very soon!) but Liv is a little young yet to help much with that.  So I’m super-excited about the Kiwi Crate box I just ordered for her.  I can’t wait to see how excited she is when she gets mail!  (She’s really, really good about being excited for everybody else, and rarely feels left out unless they actually leave and leave her behind, but it will still be fun to surprise her with something special for herself.)  I really need another word for “excited.” 😉

Kiwi Crate is a monthly subscription box (or you can order just single boxes if you need/want to) with activities for kids between 3 and 7.  Each month is a different theme, and usually the theme is a surprise, but right now they’re gearing up for the “Summer Adventure” Series and the cat’s out of the bag.  So this month we’ll be getting the “camping”-themed box, which looks really cool.  I’m very excited to see that and enjoy it with her.

(These tabletop S’mores could be a fun addition to the activities in the box.  Although I highly recommend finding a natural brand of charcoal.  Lighter fluid really isn’t very healthy.)

We haven’t ever used these boxes before, so this will be a new experience for us.  If you want to check it out yourself, right now you can get 25% off your first month as a new subscriber with the code SUMMER25.  If I remember correctly, the box ships about the middle of the month, so…about a week from now.  If you’re just ordering now, I think maybe you get your first box next month.
