Kiwi Crate‘s theme for December is Polar Expedition. Kiwi Crate is $19.95 a month, and each month, your child get's at lease two main crafts plus Explore Magazine which is filled with bonus crafts. My son L loves his Kiwi Crate and is always asking when the next one will come. This month, the main crafts are “my snowball toss” and “my polar window clings”.

| The Box |
Kiwi always uses the same green boxes. L has learned the words Kiwi Crate from the boxes.
 |
| Information Card |
The front of the information card has pictures of the two main crafts
 |
| Sticker and Cut Outs |
The back of the information card has cut outs of Steve the Kiwi Bird and a friend. Your child can color, cut them out and play with them in the box. There is also a sticker. When you get your first box, there will be a pair of scissors and a poster. Every month, there is a new sticker and your child can add it to their poster. If your poster gets filled up (ours did), just email Kiwi Crate and they will send a new one free.

| Explore Magazine |
Explore Magazine is a great added feature to Kiwi Crate. Each month, the magazine is packed with fun activities and bonus crafts
 |
| Borax Crystal Snowflake |
You and your child can make a borax crystal snowflake using scissors, string, borax, a jar, a pencil and pipe cleaners. We haven't tried this yet, but will do it this month.
 |
| My Salt Dough Pendant |
I can't wait to try this with L. I remember making salt dough ornaments with my mom as a child. Kiwi Crate also included a cookie cutter!
 |
| My Polar Window Clings |
This craft uses 3D paint and glue to make window clings. Kiwi emailed everyone and gave some additional tips for the paint. I had to remove the caps and clean them out , to get the paint started.
 |
| Drying |
I had to do much of the work with this craft. The 3D paint didn't come out as thick as it should. I think they need a bigger opening on the bottle or thinner paint. After the animal is outlined in 3D paint, you fill in the gaps with glue. L got to do this part.

| My Snowball Toss |
This was L's favorite project. He is great with sewing.
 |
| Sewing |
L did a great job sewing the gloves. I gave him the string and materials and he did it himself, I only had to tie the knots at the end.
 |
| Playing |
We had a great time playing catch.

Final Thought: I really liked the theme this month. Including the bonus crafts, there were four craft and activities this month. L loved the snowball toss and he has been playing with it all day today. I wish the pain would have been easier to use, but the window cling activity was fun. I love all of Kiwi Crates activities are fun and interactive. I also love that Kiwi Crate lets you control your subscription from your account.
