Subscriptions boxes are no longer just packed with make-up or brimming with superhero and cult classic items. There are so many different options; of course, it was a matter of time before there were some great options for kids too. Subscriptions are usually great because they are good value, and you can get a range of items. 

Any time you get something in the post is a great day, even more so in a world that everything is digital. 

Here are some subscription ideas that are great for children. 

STEM

There has been an explosion of fun STEM box options for children. Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math are fun and can give children a solid base for their school education. Looking at the world in a different way can start very early with STEM boxes. Here are a few boxes that are great for helping your children enjoy STEM:

  • Black Girl MATHgic: aimed at providing a space for underrepresented race and gender a place to experiment and learn. 

  • Groovy Lab in a Box: if you love the idea of dexters lab, then this is a very cool option. This is better for 8+ and has science and engineering combined. 

  • Superpower Academy: This is an ultra-cool subscription box and provides a framework for positive design making skills, emotional and social literacy, and more. 

Magazines

Although a subscription should be fun, they should have a little more to them too. A magazine collection can be something that can be kept for years, and there is usually plenty to do inside. Screen time can feel like it is dominating your time as a family. Here are some of the highest recommended magazine options for kids:

  • Kazoo: a limited indie press, and is written exclusively for girls between 5 and 12. It highlights women in STEM, shows some experiments that can be done at home, and fun crafts too. 

  • National Geographic for Little Kids: NatGeo will always be the go-to for people who want to know more about the world, and this one is written specifically for smaller children. 

  • Xyza: is news for big people, written for small people. It is like The Week, and it gives global news in a way that children can absorb.

  • Penny Dell Puzzles: A range of fun puzzles from sudoku to coloring in, check out the selection here: https://www.pennydellpuzzles.com/sudoku/subscriptions/ 

Craft

Craft boxes are a lot of fun and even more for busy kids. Have you ever been in a situation when you want to do some crafting with the kids but don’t have everything you need? Well, craft boxes on subscription can bring some fun to your crafting and some fresh ideas too. 

Great craft box options are:

  • Kiwi Co: They have a range of boxes for all ages, and they cover STEM too. Koala is aimed at ages 3-4, Kiwi is aimed at 5-8, and the Doodle is suitable for 9+ 

  • Sew Sampler Box: if you like the idea of a skill that million love but isn’t as widely taught, then the sew sample box is ideal

  • SketchBox: This is on the pricer side but has between 4-6 art supplies and sneak peeks at customs products too. 

So if you are on the lookout for a regular surprise for your children (or yourself), then check out some of the subscription boxes above.
