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 are riding down a river in a boat.

The river is surrounded by swamp land. You hear bugs chirping in the trees and fish darting through the water below you.

You are driving slowly, cautiously, watching the surface of the water for one of the largest, most ancient reptiles which rules these rivers, the infamous crocodile.

At the front of the boat is the man known as the crocodile hunter, behind him is a cameraman who is filming the adventure.

The crocodile hunter holds up his finger and you slow the boat's engines. He points to the left and you look out across the river.

Poking out of the water are two huge eyeballs in a long bumpy snout. Suddenly the crocodile hunter dives out of the canoe and into the murky water.

The cameraman films the crocodile hunter as he swims toward the crocodile and grabs it around the neck.

You row closer as the cameraman continues filming. The crocodile hunter bursts from the surface of the river with the crocodile's jaws trapped shut.
