Learning is something you must do throughout life, and in childhood, it is one of the most important factors, as it is when everything starts. Most toddlers and teenagers are sent to schools and colleges, but many study at home.
Whether the former or the latter, KiwiCo offers materials for learning in the most fun way, and they specialize in teaching children who belong to homeschooling families.
What is KiwiCo?
KiwiCo is an online subscription service that provides different educational materials through boxes. These subscription boxes vary according to each child’s age and level of study, although there are also boxes for older children.
Since its inception in 2011, KiwiCo has sold its educational boxes at fixed prices, with topics selected by different professionals, including teachers and educators of various levels, engineers, manufacturers, and even scientists.
According to KiwiCo‘s official website, they have sold more than 10 million boxes for all ages. In addition, these boxes were developed and tested for more than 1000 hours (per box).

How much does a KiwiCo subscription cost?
KiwiCo offers different subscriptions depending on how many months the membership lasts. Remember that subscriptions renew themselves. As soon as the billing cycle ends, a new one will begin, as long as you have not canceled your KiwiCo subscription, which you can do so many times.
Duration / One-Time Purchase | Price |
1 month | $23.95 / $27.95 |
3 months | $21.95/month / $67.95 |
6 months | $19.95/month / $124.95 |

Things to keep in mind when canceling KiwiCo
- To cancel a KiwiCo subscription, you must do so after receiving your first box, whether a free trial or a monthly subscription.
- Subscriptions of 3, 6, 12, 24, or 36 months that do not renew cannot be canceled but will expire as soon as the term runs out.
- 3, 6, or 12-month auto-renewing subscriptions can be canceled anytime but the cancellation will be effective on the next billing. In other words, you only need to deactivate the subscription before half of the current prepaid time.
- This deactivation serves to cancel the subscription automatically. To do so, you will have to do it as we will explain below (via the web or by mail).
- The monthly or free trial subscription can be canceled at any time.
