KiwiCo – Eureka Crate “Mechanical Lock Box” Review

 

Inside each Eureka Crate, you will get all the pieces and tools you need to create your final project and a Maker’s Guide book with step-by-step instructions inside as well as did you know facts, the sciences, engineering, and history behind the design and a design challenge after you have completed the project.

The instructions are very easy to follow! And be sure to read the yellow highlighted “Stop & Check” areas to make sure that you are doing each section correctly and adjust accordingly so that you don’t have to re-do the whole project at the end because it doesn’t work correctly.

If you do have troubles throughout the instructions, check out the Troubleshooting sections near the end of the Maker’s Guide booklet

“Stop & Check” as you go!

We did it… it really works!

 

Recommendation: Our whole family has been a huge fan of KiwiCo for years! Over the years we have tried a few of the different KiwiCo boxes (Kiwi Crate, Maker Crate, Eureka Crate, and Tinker Crate). Each crate provides hands-on learning with fun crafts or activities that the kids can do by themselves or with little help from us, the parents. Our children love getting the KiwiCo box in the mail! As they are getting older they have realized that without me even opening the box they can find out the theme and activities written on the outside of the box.

This is our first time trying the Eureka Crate and if you can’t guess from the pictures… it was super cool! From the moment we opened the box we were blown away at how awesome this project was going to be! The attention to detail in the Maker’s Guide is unreal! It is full of fun facts and useful information. The step-by-step instructions are laid out so clearly there is no guessing what the next step is and many of the important steps are repeated a few times to make sure that you “Stop & Check” that everything is going as described. The quality of the pieces is more than I would have expected from a kid’s craft-like subscription box. The final product is solid and will be able to withstand use and will provide hours of fun in this house… not only for the kids but Mom and Dad too!

Now that I have seen first-hand the Eureka Crate I would without a doubt recommend this box to everyone! Our kids are well under the age of 14 years old but with parental help, this project would be a fun family craft together. I can’t wait to check out the other Eureka Crate boxes… the projects look amazing! Check them out here!
