Who it’s best for
- Parents of curious kids.
- Grandparents buying gifts.
- Homeschool families.
Who should skip it
- Probably not the best fit for kids who lose interest in crafts quickly.

What it costs
Prices checked October 31, 2026, from KiwiCo’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.
- Outside price checks and its help pages list crates from about $24 to $30 each depending on plan length, with free US shipping.
- Its terms and return-policy help page explain returns; prepaid non-renewing plans are not refundable.
What we like
- Tested by Reviewed.
- Trustpilot 3.6 from 5,024.
- Lines for each age.
- Free US shipping.
What to watch for
- Costs add up monthly.
- Younger kids need adult help.
- Prepaid plans not refundable.
- Some crates are more craft than science.
The fine print
- Plans renew automatically; cancel before the renewal date if you do not want to be charged again.
- Kids should use kits with an adult nearby; check the age range on each product.
The main alternative: Lovevery
Lovevery is a play-kit rival for young kids.
What it costs: Kit subscription
Pick KiwiCo if you…
- want STEM projects.
- want lines for older kids.
- want one-off store items.
Pick Lovevery if you…
- want toddler play kits.
- want Montessori-style toys.
- want a different plan.
Our take
KiwiCo is a well-tested project subscription; choose a plan length you can cancel and know the refund limits.
