September Kid Wonder Review and Coupon: Wilderness Explorers

If you have young kids, the Kid Wonder box is a great way to entertain them with crafts and games that encourage creativity! Each month's box centers around a new theme and has five activities to complete.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.

Kid Wonder has a Little Dreamers box, which is the box that is being reviewed here. In the future they will also have a Big Adventurer's Box (ages 5-8) with adventures through history and a Junior Explorers Box (ages 7-10) with world explorations in the works. Here are their pricing options for the Little Dreamers Box:

• Monthly: $24.95 per month / $39.95 for siblings
• Three Months: $74.85 every three months / $119.85 for siblings
• Six Months: $149.70 every six months / $239.70 for siblings
• 12 Months: $274.45 every 12 months / $439.45 for siblings

 The siblings options includes enough supplies for two children to complete the activities. Shipping is $5 flat rate to U.S. addresses, $15 to Canada, and $20 to the U.K.

The September box is themed "Wilderness Explorers." Every month you'll receive five individually-packaged activity kits, a magazine with games and reading practice inside, and an insert for parent/adult helpers outlining each activity.

I love the little booklet and would have enjoyed thumbing through something like this as a kid. The illustrations are bright and engaging, and there are good opportunities to practice reading and learn about the theme.

Activity Kit 1 is "Dress Like a Wilderness Explorer," where your child will decorate a backpack, color a compass watch (toy only, not a real functioning compass), construct binoculars, plan a wilderness adventure, and learn about hiking safety to earn the wilderness explorer badge.

Activity Kit 2 is "Let's Go Camping" and it teaches kids about fire safety through having them create a camping diorama to earn a camping badge.

Activity Kit 3 is "Wilderness Training" and it has activity sheets to train to explore the wilderness and become an official backcountry explorer. Your child will use their training skills to go on an imaginary hike and earn their hiking badge with a scavenger hunt outside.

Activity Kit 4 is my favorite of the pack and is called "Let's Go Fishing." It comes with a foldable "pond" with paintable fish. Children will learn about fish anatomy and earn their fishing badge.

Last but not least, Activity Kit 5 is "Let's Make S'mores." The s'mores are not edible, but instead the kit has supplies to make playdough to make the s'mores and earn the s'mores badge.

Each kit is also rated on Messiness, Difficulty, and Time Involved, so you can gauge which activity to use first based on how much time you have (or patience!). I like that each kit offers different options and levels of involvement, giving kids and parents a good variety of activities.

Bottom Line: This month's Kid Wonder box had another great set of fun activities! I love that they have hands-on crafts as well as more imagination-driven activities, like the scavenger hunt and imaginary hike in Kit 3. These activities are sure to keep your children happy and engaged!
