(upbeat music)
So cool.
- [Mia] Oh my gosh.
- I'm finished and I'm super excited
to see if it works.
- Oh my gosh.
(upbeat music continues)
(light bouncy music)
- Whoa I got spin art.
- I got exploring stars.
- Hey everyone.
We are wrapping up our day
of homeschooling right now
and I know that school
looks a little bit different
for most of us this year.
A lot of us are spending more time
in front of screens
and kinda lacking those
real hands on experiences
that we maybe had in the past.
So this year, I decided to bring KiwiCo
into our normal routine.
What are your KiwiCo Crates
all about this time Addy?
- I get to make my own spin art machine.
- [Lucy] A spin art machine.
What about you Mia?
- Mine's about exploring the stars.
- Oo.
So KiwiCo creates super
cool hands-on projects
and toys that are designed
to expose kids to the
concepts of STEAM.
- What?
- STEAM is science, technology,
engineering, art and math.
But the cool thing is,
they are learning all
this neat stuff but it doesn't
feel like learning to them,
it feels like play and
exploration and the kids love it.
What are you making?
- A constellation lantern.
- How neat.
I also saw that you get to
make a solar spinner Mia,
which is a mechanical model
of the sun, earth, and moon
which is pretty cool.
- Oo, I know what these are for.
- As a parent, one of my favorite things
is that they come with all the supplies
you need in the box so I don't have to run
to the store, or run around the house
to find missing supplies.
Plus the instructions
are really kid friendly.
- Whoa mine even comes with a
motor for my spin art machine.
This is all the materials
that come in the box.
And this is gonna be what I'm making.
- [Lucy] Wow that is so neat.
I can't wait to see the
finished product, girl.
- Same.
(upbeat music)
- It looks like Mia is
making her own constellations
and she's getting pretty creative here.
What'd you make Mia?
- A human.
- A human constellation.
I love it.
You're gonna slide into your lantern now?
- Yes.
- They give examples
of real constellations
the kids can create as well.
But I think Mia wants
to get a little creative
and have some with her
very own constellations.
What constellation are you making now?
- A heart.
- A heart, I love it.
(upbeat music)
How are the directions coming?
- Good.
I am so excited to see
this spin art machine
when you're done with it.
- I know, I think um
that you can just cut up more papers
in this size and you can
refill the paint bottles
so you can use it more.
- So we can use it for a while then.
- Yeah you can use it
like as long as it works.
- Very cool.
KiwiCo offers eight
different subscription lines
catering to different age levels
as well as different topics so the girls
each have one that's
age appropriate for them
and as a matter of fact, I even have
one here for Collin who he gets to be,
let's see what this is.
Rainbows, create stain
glass art in a rainbow dyed
tote bag and a snuggly cloud pillow.
He's gonna love this.
(upbeat music continues)
- When I can't go to bed, I can just
use it as a night light
and make stars with them.
- [Lucy] Good idea, so
you can use your lantern
at bed time, I love that.
It's coming nicely Mia.
I see an M, a person, and a heart.
What's your last one gonna be?
- Just stars all over.
- I love it.
Generally when we get our
KiwiCo Crates in the mail
we usually read together
the educational magazine
because it really kinda takes
what they're learning and
you could even take it
to the next level and extend it
and I usually let the kids
do the projects on their own.
I'm kinda around to like
watch how things go,
but the instructions
really are kid friendly
and I think it's really
important and valuable
for them to have that
time to really explore
and make mistakes and learn from them
and really have that pride that they feel
when they put together the
final project, you know.
And it worked and everything ended up
how it was supposed to end up.
- Slide the switch on the
bottom of the lantern light
to turn on, then place the
light inside the foam donut.
(upbeat music continues)
- It's looking good Mia.
So cool.
Should we take it to a dark room
and see what it looks like,
maybe in like the bathroom.
- Yeah, let's go.
- [Lucy] Whoo.
Wow!
- [Mia] Oh my gosh.
- [Lucy] So cool.
- [Mia] You can see the different colors.
- [Lucy] This is looking so cool.
- Now I'm doing my solar spinner.
Addy you're gonna love this,
it says recently astronomers decided
to have some fun and
create new constellations
including Harry Potter's
glasses and a space craft.
(laughing)
There's his glasses constellation.
- Are you kidding me?
- Isn't it awesome?
(upbeat music)
And look it, it says here,
the gears all work together,
when you are building your mechanism,
you are actually engineering.
You're like a little engineer.
Pretty impressive.
Did you finish it Mia?
- Yeah.
- [Lucy] Let's see.
So twist the gears and we have the sun,
the earth, and the moon and
look at them all rotate.
How cool.
- See it's day time now on Earth,
and then day time for the
other side of the Earth.
- [Lucy] A trip all
the way around the sun,
do you know how long that takes?
- Uh, 360 days?
- 365 day, because it's a year.
All the way around the sun.
I've been so busy learning with Mia,
that Addy's been over here
working independently, so.
Let's see how her spinner is coming.
How's it coming?
- Really good.
It's looking awesome.
(laughs)
- [Lucy] Wow this looks pretty high tech
and pretty cool Addy.
- I'm on step eight of 12.
I'm almost done.
(upbeat music continues)
Open the crate again, connect the red wire
from the battery pack to
the red wire from the motor.
Okay so, I finished and I'm super excited
to see if it works.
- Yep, moment of truth.
She's been working so hard on this.
Let's check it out.
- Let's start out with--
- yellow, yellow!
- [Lucy] Oh, I see it spinning in there!
- [Addy] Okay.
- Oh my gosh.
It looks so cool.
- And now a little bit of green.
- Oh my gosh it looks so cool.
- So we partnered with KiwiCo to offer
all of our Tic Tac toy
viewers a special deal.
You can get your very first month free,
by going to KiwiCo.com/TicTacToy
or just by clicking the link below
in our description box.
You girls seemed very excited over here.
Is is out, is it done?
- Yes.
- Let's see oh.
Okay, oh this is gonna look so good.
- Oh my.
- [Lucy] Whoa.
- It looks so cool.
- That looks amazing.
Good work girls.
- Crazy.
- I also wanna point
out that KiwiCo also has
a store you can go to online where
you can just purchase
individual KiwiCo crates.
It's nice to have that option
because the girls'
grandparents will actually
go online and buy crates occasionally,
so that way when we come
in town to visit them,
they have a fun activity that
they can work on together
during the week.
- Look at mine Addy made me.
- Oh I love it!
So cool girls.
You guys did awesome on your KiwiCo's.
High five girl, boom.
Mia, good job.
Boom.
We're heading out now to
celebrate that we have finished
our first month of homeschooling.
It's hard to believe that
we're already one month into
our school year.
Can you guys believe that?
- Yes!
- [Lucy] It's like flown by hasn't it Mia?
- Yeah.
- It's been a fun month but
also a very challenging month
just because of how
different this years been.
So we thought we deserved to
get out and have a little fun.
We're gonna go to this new
place that opened by us called
Urban Air Adventure Park.
And we've heard some pretty
amazing things about it.
(upbeat music)
Before we came, I looked
up the place online
and they had a lot of measures in place
to keep this place safe, and clean
so we felt pretty good coming out
and I'm just excited to
do something different
that we haven't had a chance
to do in quite a while.
Good job.
And here's Mia, go Mia go!
Whoa.
(upbeat music continues)
The girls headed straight
for the Ninja Warrior course.
I had no doubt they would,
but there are so many
other fun things here
that I wanna check out
and I wanna show you because
this place is pretty impressive.
I think coming on a Wednesday
evening was the best idea ever
because we practically have
this entire place to ourselves.
It's like our family and that's about it.
What, where'd Addy go?
Where's Addy Mia?
Oh there she is.
Whoa.
Big jump in.
Oh no Mia too!
(yelling)
I'm kinda stuck in these balls.
Like seriously, okay I got out, I made it.
Still kinda scary for a moment.
(upbeat music continues)
All right let's see what daddy can do.
Whoa you made it, uh oh.
Oh no!
Whoa, go guys, oh.
(upbeat music continues)
- [Addy] Jason red, Lucy
green, let's see who wins.
Off to a good start.
Jason falls in, Lucy wins.
Congratulations.
- We discovered the battle beam
and I actually beat Jason.
I hope you guys saw that.
I won.
(upbeat music continues)
Addy is doing pretty
good with the jump duck,
what is it?
Jump, duck, dodge I think it is.
- Sure.
- She's doing pretty good though.
- She is doing good.
(upbeat music continues)
- Typical Addy, she has
found the rock climbing area
of the place.
They have rock climbing walls,
they have this leap of
faith where you take
this giant leap and
try to land on a handle
and they also have this
thing called the stairway
to heaven which looks a little scary.
(upbeat music continues)
So this is the stairway to heaven I think.
You ready for it?
- Yes.
- I heard it's hard.
Some other kids have told
us that it's hard to do.
So you think you can?
- Yes.
- All right.
- Let's do this thing.
If I make it, I'm the first
one that makes it up here.
(upbeat music continues)
- So the lady that works here just said
she had never ever seen anybody make it
to the top of this thing, so.
Let's see if Addy can be the first person.
Good job girl.
- And I made it.
(cheering)
- She did it, she made it to the very top.
I can't believe it.
(upbeat music continues)
She'll jump off of this platform
and try to hold on to
this big like barrel.
(upbeat music continues)
Now Addy's getting ready
to do the Sky Rider
which I think is the most unique thing
about Urban Adventure Air park.
She's gonna fly basically
all across the ceiling
of this place and you
gotta see it to believe it.
It's pretty neat.
Go Addy.
Whoa.
I just think that's
the coolest thing ever.
You did that so many times.
What does it feel like?
- It feels awesome.
- Like you're just flying
so fast.
- But like scary.
It feels scary, but awesome.
- a little scary too?
One thing I've noticed is
that there are employees
constantly walking around
sanitizing everything.
There's hand sanitizer
laid out all over the place
so I feel like they're
doing a really good job
of keeping this place clean.
(upbeat music continues)
And of course we ran into
some Tic Tac Toy fans here.
What are your names guys?
- I'm Emery.
- I'm Ellie.
- I'm Trenton.
- I'm Asher.
- [Lucy] And then, oh
that's everybody I think.
And then Addy, I think
you know Addy back there.
- Don't forget Addy.
- Don't forget Addy.
(upbeat music continues)
- [Lucy] So who thinks
we'll be coming back here?
- Me.
- [Lucy] You for sure?
- Yes.
We are so coming back here.
(Lucy laughs)
(upbeat music continues)
- This was a super fun
way to end our very first
month of school for the year.
And we'll have to come back again
because we didn't even
get to the dodge ball,
the virtual reality, to the ropes course
or even all the climbing walls.
There's so much left
that we have to do still.
