We love KiwiCo, there's no doubt about it. As a homeschool family, I really love that my kids get to take a break from paperwork once or twice a month to focus their attention on creating something fun. I don't have to teach math, and they get to build something they're proud of, it's a win for all of us. So when I got an email letting me know that Kiwico had released their holiday project boxes, I was so excited! (read more)

My favorite part of the Kiwico holiday projects is that there isn't just one or two for my kids to choose from. Whether they want to make ornaments, build Santa's workshop, or make a gingerbread house, Kiwico has got them covered. 

Here's what you can get this year!

Suggested for ages 9 - 16, this project lets your kids construct a wooden workshop for Santa and his little elves with this light-up, buildable workshop. Customize it with colorful beads and pipecleaners to create a unique look of your own.

Aimed at kids 9-16, this project lets your kids create perfectly personalized animal-shaped ornaments with a little bit of chalkboard paint, chalk, and chalk markers! Transform blank wooden shapes and decorate them in your own style.

For ages 7-16, this project lets your kids help Santa and his reindeer soar through the night sky by engineering a hand-cranked automaton. Learn about cranks, cams, and rotary motion while designing a wintry nighttime scene.

Perfect for the younger set, this project for 3-4 year olds lets your child make and decorate a kid-sized Christmas tree! Wrap fluffy pipe cleaners around the wooden "trunk" to make branches, then trim the mini tree with the included beads, bells, and tree skirt.

Another project for 3-4 year olds, this kit lets your kids make their own ornaments. Kids will love to swirl and mix the glitter paint to create unique, colorful ornaments. Decorated with jingle bells and ribbon, they make charming holiday keepsakes. This project makes a set of 3 ornaments.

For ages 5-8 (though I think my 9 and 12 year olds would love this), this project lets your kids 'plant' and decorate a tree with ornaments and ribbons. Add ammonia, bluing, and table salt to the planter, and watch snowy crystals appear on the branches overnight!

For ages 9-16, this kit shows your kids how to wire up a circuit and design their own glowing tree! LEDs light up a hand-etched acrylic disk in this high-tech holiday craft. Complete the look with special holiday stickers.

For kids ages 5-8, it's the Gingerbread house you can keep around all holiday season long. Ditch the gingerbread crumbs, and make a show-stopping snowy scene to kick off the holiday season. Decorate a beautiful winter home, complete with tree and gingerbread kids!

Learn all about chemistry and mechanics with these 3 projects! Recommended for Ages 9+.
