Gifts that will Spark your Child's Curiosity

6 gifts that will spark your child’s curiosity about the world

KiwiCo.

A gift that sparks a child's curiosity is a gift that keeps on giving.

In a year when our worlds have felt a bit smaller, there have been more opportunities to observe and appreciate the little things that surround us on a daily basis. With a little fuel, your child’s curiosity about the world can really grow into something incredible—even from the comfort of your home.

As parents, we’re especially grateful this year for gift ideas that simultaneously engage and educate kids of all ages, which KiwiCo subscription boxes have always delivered. That’s why we’re jump-starting our kids’ holiday wish lists by taking a look at the KiwiCo Store, which features individual crafts, activities and projects for every age and every budget. (No subscription required!)

Here are six hands-on gifts that will spark your child’s curiosity about the world.

Glowing Nature Craft Set

Great for budding biologists ages 3 and up, this craft set will walk them through making a cardboard mushroom that glows in the dark, a sock-puppet firefly and a wiggly jellyfish game. Along with learning about what makes each creature glow, kids will strengthen their fine motor skills and observational abilities.
