Subscription boxes your kids will love

If you want to keep your kids entertained with fresh and fun new activities every month (without spending an arm and a leg), then gift subscription boxes are right up your alley. Here’s the lowdown on subscription boxes for kids, plus 11 kids’ boxes your little ones are sure to enjoy.

What are monthly subscription boxes?

Subscription boxes are themed packages sent out by a brand/company to subscribers every month. You usually pay a flat fee, then the subscription box providers will ‘curate’ a selection of products to deliver to your home. Depending on the ‘theme’ of the box, you could get a wide variety of items, such as wine, cheese, makeup, shaving tools, clothes, and more. 

This purchasing model has risen in popularity recently, with hundreds of subscription box companies popping up online in the last few years. This is because subscription boxes are a reliable, affordable, and convenient way to discover new products and try out new things.

Are there subscriptions for kids?

Yes! In fact, kids today have a huge selection of subscription boxes to choose from. You can buy book subscription boxes, art subscription boxes, snack subscription boxes, candy subscription boxes, and so much more.

You can narrow down your options based on your child’s age and interests. Some websites offer toys for infants and toddlers, while others have boxes specifically designed for older kids. There are boxes full of science and math experiments, while others are for the arts-inclined. 

When in doubt, get your child involved in choosing their own boxes! It’s a great way to bond with your little one while also guaranteeing that they’ll get something they’ll enjoy.

Let's live a colourful life 💚❤️🧡💛💙💜⠀ ⠀ Yesterday's story, I was reminded by LinkedIn that I started this journey 3 YEARS AGO 😱#saywhat⠀ ⠀ Let's just say 3 years have been colourful and there have been lots of clouds, rain and rainbows (while I'm at it, maybe let's add thunder storms in there too) they are for the nights I've slept little #mumlife and #businesslife don't mix well sometimes 😂☀️ ☁️ ☔️ 🌈 ⠀ ⠀ 3 years is a LONG time, especially when you are running off the smell of an oily rag as many #smallbusinessowners do🤪💖 Something that does refuel the tank is every time we receive some beautiful feedback, photos and reviews (that really fills my tank).⠀ ⠀ Do you know that in all this time, we have rarely celebrated My Creative Box milestones, I didn't even realise it until someone congratulated me 😍 I have been working my butt off with some NEW and very exciting things coming soon...#cantwait⠀ ⠀ Have you been following along since our launch or are you new here? I'd love to hear from you and where you are following from 💖
