When looking at reviews for KiwiCo I read lots of reviews of their popular KiwiCrate but not many reviews of Kiwi Crate’s other products. While many KiwiCo products are great for many ages, I had no idea that they had boxes for older kids (they’re even great for adults!)
We chose the DoodleCrate for 9-16 yr olds for our 13-year-old daughter. Today we’re sharing our review of the KiwiCo Felt Succulent Gardens Doodle Crate. First, we’ll cover what KiwiCo is…

Our Honest Review of the KiwiCo Doodle Crate
My children are 11 and 13 years old currently and I was excited to see that KiwiCo offers boxes for older children. We ordered each of the children a box for Christmas. Our 13-year-old daughter received a Doodle Crate – She got the felt succulent box. This was perfect for my crafty daughter who loves succulents. She dug into the box right away and got to work.
The box came with everything you need to make the craft. I was impressed with how organized it was. Everything was labeled and packaged well.
Each box comes with easy-to-follow instructions with clear pictures. You can also watch the instructional videos for each box. Our daughter used the videos to help her with the project, although I do think that she would have been fine just following the instructions that were included. She enjoyed checking her project along the way to make sure it looked right.
We were impressed with the different art techniques that she used when making this project. She shaded some of the felt leaves using crayons, which we thought was brilliant.
The final project turned out so cute! It’s been a month and she still has this little succulent project proudly displayed in her bedroom. I think it took her about an hour to complete the project.
