My teenager loves to create. There’s rarely a day when she’s not making digital art, clay figurines, or doodling. When she’s in her art zone, life is good! When she’s not, boredom often sets in, and there is nothing to do becomes her mantra. Yesterday was one of these days. My daughter’s muse was on vacation. Thankfully, we had one of the very best boredom busters I have found for kids of all ages, a KiwiCo crate. As soon as we opened the box, her grumps went away. Creative teens need to create, and sometimes they need some inspiration. Here are two KiwiCo crates we think your teens will love!

KiwiCo Crates for Creative Teens
First up, we recommend KiwiCo’s Doodle Crates for teens. We’ve done a few of these crates, and they are all terrific!
Poured Paintings invites makers to explore color theory and make abstract art.
There are so many things to love about a KiwiCo crate, but here are three of the things we love the most.
- The crates are FILLED with high-quality supplies. There are very few things you need to have on hand. What is needed, you’ll have. For this crate, we needed a cup of water.
- There’s a teaching component. Each crate comes with a book of instructions and at least one lesson. There are also often links for step-by-step videos.
- The crates invite creativity. There’s no one way to create something. My artist has plenty of room to make each project her own.
The creations are also worth keeping! These are not quick, junky projects that end up in the trash. The things she creates with KiwiCo are used and displayed.
The Eureka Crates are also a great choice for creative teens, especially those interested in science and math.
The Wooden Ukulele KiwiCo crate is awesome! Other than scissors, it comes with everything you need. There are detailed instructions that walk you through each step, and the instruction book offers a history of the ukulele, music suggestions, a lesson on sound waves, and songs to learn once you build it.
She loved this KiwiCo crate and clearly felt a sense of accomplishment while building it. The quality of the materials is stellar, and I can’t wait to hear what songs she learns to play. Fingers crossed for Somewhere Over the Rainbow.
My kids have loved KiwiCo crates since they were little. We’ve explored countless crates, and they never disappoint. No matter their ages, KiwiCo gets kids and teens learning and creating. A KiwiCo crate is the perfect boredom buster and invitation to help my creative teen re-find her muse.
