You may have thought KiwiCo kits were just for kids (seriously, the crafts range from ages 0 to 16+). But if you take a deeper look, you'll see they have things for all ages. Let's not let the little ones have all the fun this summer — pick out a project that'll encourage you to take some time for yourself and create something new!
1. A constellation messenger bag anyone would agree looks *out of this world* after seeing how it actually lights up like a starry night.
2. A hand-embroidered lamp kit that'll let you show off your crafting skills *and* provide you with a new statement piece for your living room.
3. A DIY drip irrigation system that'll be the perfect craft for anyone who, sadly, was born without a green thumb. You'll be a regular ol' garnish farmer before ya' know it!
4. A book holder you can customize with your own stencils for a design you'll *lit-erally* be so excited to show off to your fellow word nerds.
5. Confetti slime, because we're sure you've been wondering what all the fuss is about over this ooey-gooey stress reliever.
6. A hand-crank flashlight kit you'll pat yourself on the back for buying during an unexpected power outage or when you want to tell ghost stories during your next camping trip.
7. A light-up speaker you can use to blast your carefully curated playlists all summer long (as if you weren't already).
8. Animal-shaped pencil holders you might want to write your initials on because, just like in grade school, your coworkers may want to steal them off your desk.
9. A DIY planetarium that'll help you put together a romantic date night without having to leave the comfort of your home.
10. A light-up haunted house for anyone that considers it to be *spooky season* the moment a single leaf lands on the ground.
11. A felt succulent garden you can build with love and without the fear you'll accidentally kill it (RIP to all of your other plants).
12. A poured painting kit that'll teach you how to create your own pieces of art like the ones you've watched others make in those soothing videos for hours and hours.
13. A crystal-shaped ombre soap making kit you can use to make beautiful soaps for your own bathroom *or* gift to a friend.
14. And an electric pencil sharpener that'll be a practical addition to your desk — and likely a source of pride since you'll be building it yourself!
