We loved the spider kit! I think it is 100% worth the money and plan to give them as gifts to nieces and nephews. I am thinking of doing 3 months and then stopping for them. We did recently stop doing subscription services for the most part to lower bills, but as soon as we get soem debt paid off this will be one of the first kits we bring back. The 3-5 kit is for 3-5 year olds IMO, my daughter is 2.5 and still a little too young for most of it, but she loved the animal, book, activity, freebie toy. She wasnt able to do most of the stuff in the magazine, but liked the other stuff!
