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.

Redefine Learning with Play. Explore hands-on projects that build creative confidence and problem-solving skills with KiwiCo.

But if you're like me and my family at Christmas, it's one of our favorite times of the year.

We love the spirit of Christmas, which means we love the feeling we get during Christmas time.

It's fun to see everyone putting up lights, and decorating their houses, and music playing at the stores and everywhere you go.

Families tend to be doing more together and getting together for parties, and there are just a lot of ways people help each other by donating to the community.

And in general, it's just a wonderful time of the year.

In fact, last night, we all bundled up the kids in their warm clothes.

Yes, even in Arizona, it gets chilly at night. And we climbed into our golf cart.

Yes, we do have a normal car, a van for our family, but we got a golf cart so it'd be easy to run the kids to school and do other errands in our neighborhood.
