Would really love it if you did a video with your recommendations for the best educational apps (for iPads / tablets) for young kids (4+ yrs old). There’s so many crappy ones out there and, despite looking for quality videos on this topic, it’s really hard to find any that are trustworthy. My hubby and I trust your content and your views, so if you happen to have guidance on this topic, we’d love your guidance and insights.
You know, I kind of felt the same for the KiwiCo create for my 2 and half year old. It seemed just slightly out of reach for her. She definitely liked the trial crate we picked up but I don't think she quite understood the concepts of some of the things it was trying to show. That being said, that was a couple weeks ago. After somewhat consistent play with her KiwiCo projects (it was some fridge with felt food, a shopping bag, and some recipes) she's definitely understanding the idea of shopping for food and ingredients. Originally, it was just her wanting to arrange the food into their associated slots in the fridge. But yeah, definitely agree that this is something a parent needs to be involved with for the child to get the most out of it. A bit steep of a price for us at the moment, but I think my wife and I liked it enough that we will pick it up for her again in the hopeful near future. The quality of the materials given were really good. And we even got a nice cardboard book for her that she really enjoys.
I took it off since they didn't have any in stock. It didn't make sense to tell folks about it when they stopped presales and won't have any in stock. I'll put it back up when they finally launch it.
Hey, great chanel. May not be fair to ask, but if you could only pick KiwiCo or Lovevery for younger kids which would you pick? Say the 6m to 2-year old kind of space. I'm figuring at 5+ there is some cool science they can learn, which differentiates them, but for the younger kids they are in kinda fishing in the same pool? Thanks for the great content
Yeah man, I think they're more focused on the US audience. But if there are many similar kits like Crunch Labs, Lovevery, etc., there's gotta be a European equivalent that I don't know about.
I stopped my subscription after a year due to the amount of crafts/ supplies/ art that sits around the house after the initial activity. My son would be interested for the day, then over it by the next. So my house ended up having just stuff lying around and adding more clutter. Love the projects while we did them but not great with the amount of projects/ trash that gets left behind after.

What are the tube lights you use in your background? Thank you!
Andrew, could you tell me the name of your background lighting fixture? Where did you buy it?
I actually made that myself with LED strips and frosted tubes. I'm not using these in my videos though: amzn.to/3ZqsOGZ

Great to hear your thoughts on KiwiCo. Thanks for sharing.
Hello! What happened to your Newton bassinet review???? Help please.

@@dadverb okay makes sense! We really like it and hoping to get one before baby comes. Thanks man!

In really thinking about about this, I may lean Lovevery for the earlier years.
Shipping costs to Europe is crazy. I wish it was cheaper
Same to Australia 😣

Lovevery has free shipping to some european countries.

You make a great point. Amazing learning and activity, but there is indeed a lot of arts/craft stuff that tends to pile up.
