Welcome to Bedtime History. Hello, this is Brack.

Growing up, one of my favorite childhood memories was using my imagination to build new things.

I'd take apart old, unused electronics or appliances in our home, and then try and rebuild them into something new and interesting.

They usually didn't work. They were more like works of art than functioning inventions, but I had a blast doing it.

What's great about a product like KiwiCo is the things you build as part of the engineering kits actually work.

My kids and I have built a few different projects together, including a ukulele, a pinball machine, headphones, and a speaker.

These projects include detailed instructions and also explain the science behind how the devices work.

As a parent, it can be hard to find creative ways to keep your children busy, challenged, and off screens.

KiwiCo does the legwork for you, so you can spend quality time tackling projects together.

KiwiCo also has boxes for geography and culture, the Atlas crate, and another one focused on cooking.

Other subjects are science, art, engineering, crafting, and design. KiwiCo also has crates designed for kids and adults of all ages.

Close your eyes and imagine you live in America in the 1800s, a time before cars, the internet, and TV.

You are riding in a wagon pulled by your family's best two horses.

Your mom and dad are up front and you and your siblings are in the back.

You look around and see many other families also riding towards the main event.

When the wagon stops, you climb out and hurry to stand where your father buys tickets, any hands you want.

You give your ticket to the attendant, then rush into the large arena and climb up the stairs to what you think is the best seat with the best view.

You smell popcorn and your mother hands you a bag with a smile.

You take a bite while waiting in anticipation for the show to begin.
