This Summer, Have Fun Learning!

Kid Kits Co can help keep your child’s mind engaged this summer!

 When Covid-19 hit our world, I faced a great deal of the same challenges as many parents - I was worried, anxious, unsure of how to best support my child. Among many other things, I was worried about my toddler missing out on the learning experiences he so enjoyed at his daycare. So I set out to make those experiences come alive at home. As I started create thematic kits of activities that I could just grab and go, it dawned on me that other parents could benefit from these kits too. So, Kid Kits Co. was born! Our kits aren't just for pandemics - they are also great for enriching and engaging your child, any day!  


Summer break is coming. And that means a lot of things: longer days, relaxed mornings, pools, beaches, and ice cream to name a few. But do your summer plans include learning opportunities for your child?

Have you heard of the “summer slide”? As a teacher, I see it all the time. The student leaves school in June with grade level skills and comes back needing to relearn some of those skills in September. A recent study showed that, on average, students lost about 20 percent of their school year gains in reading and 27 percent of their school year gains in math during summer break. In a 10 month school year, that is 2 months of reading and almost 3 months of math instruction! While this is true for school aged children, it is also true for preschool students as well. 

While students desperately need a break in the summer, that doesn’t mean all learning needs to go out the window. Think about letting your child make their own reading choices, participate in summer reading opportunities, choose a “summer study” topic OR leave the work of prep and the hassle of planning to Kid Kits Co

Kid Kits Co makes monthly themed preschool kits. All of these kits contain at least 10 grab and go (no prep for you!) activities and include all preschool subject areas - fine motor, sensory, math, science/STEM, literacy, art, music and movement, outdoor play, and more! Kits are only $40 - that is 10 activities for only $4 each! If you bought the supplies yourself, you would pay at least twice as much - and you’d have to do all the prep! Check out a few of our latest kits below. 




Is your child well beyond preschool? Don’t worry. Kid Kits Co has got YOU covered too. Kid Kits Co offers custom learning kits for any grade level and interest. Does your child want to do a deep dive into learning about ocean animals this summer? Let Kid Kits Co curate a fun, developmentally appropriate kit to keep the learning - and fun - coming! 

In addition to the monthly themed kits and custom kits - Kid Kits Co. also offers travel kits (think engaging activities on airplanes and during long car rides), big brother/sister kits, and birthday party goodie bags!



Kid Kits Co wants to get the learning going! Mention Plymouth Macaroni Kid when you order, and receive $10 off your first kit! Now that is only $3 an activity!
