I’ve been targeted with ads for both KiwiCo and Lovevery for a while, but I wasn’t sure it really was for us. But then we got our first KiwiCo box, and now we are hooked! My soon-to-be 4 year old gets the Koala Crate, which is geared toward 2-4 year olds. Here's my honest (unpaid/unsponsored) review of the activities we've been getting through this service.

There are so many great places to buy …
