Hellobee Boards

My kids are those exact ages and we share a Kiwi crate. Mostly it goes OK. We make the projects together and then we fight about them for three days and then pretty much nobody ever plays with them again. But the creation is the important part of the experience, and that goes well with two.

My twins share it quite easily, but that could be because they have very different interests and they are the same age.

We are on month 3 of a single Kiwi Crate subscription shared between two kids (7yo and 4 yo). It's been okay for us so far!

Month 1: They sent an arcade-style claw machine game to build. My 7yo built the claw, almost totally by himself. I helped my 4yo make the little thingies that the claw can grab out of yarn and googly eyes. She loved them. Once both were made, the kids took turns using the claw.

Month 2: They sent two space-themed activities, a lantern and a constellation finder. We worked together to make both of them. The lantern lives in the 4yo's room (she was actually in need of her own night light so all agreed this was a great solution!) and kids lost interest in the constellation finder so it's somewhere in the abyss of toys now.

Month 3: The theme was air pressure and they sent materials to build two kites and a rocket launcher. Each kid made their own kite, which they both have LOVED. We made the rocket launcher together and there are multiple rockets so they take turns with them.

All this to say, I have found the kits to be shareable and one subscription sufficient for two kids, so far!
