Subscription Boxes for Kids
If you’re a stay-at-home mum or dad and are in constant need of new activities to keep your little ones entertained, subscription boxes for children can be a great idea. With various art projects to do or activities to keep kids going on a rainy day, your child will be very excited to receive a parcel with their name on it each month.
There are also boxes available for babies tailored to their age and stage of development, as well as boxes for expecting mums to help you throughout your pregnancy with both advice, useful products, as well as gifts to treat yourself.

Which Companies Offer Kids Boxes?
As you would expect with a large market of children and the need to keep them entertained, there are a number of companies offering subscription box services for kids. There is one main one, though, in the form of toucanBox. It is aimed quite specifically at children between the ages of 3 and 8, essentially promising a sort of ‘Blue Peter in a box’ experience.
There are other companies that try to offer something a little different from toucanBox. Build Ur Bricks, for example, allows the use and exchange of Lego bricks to keep you and your kids entertained. Book Buggy, as the name suggests, is a book subscription service for children aged 5 and under.
There are two other markets within the ‘children’ section that have their own subscription box services. Sassy Bloom is aimed firmly at babies, offering the possibility to tailor what you get delivered to your little one’s developmental stage. Luxe Box London and Project B, meanwhile, target mums-to-be, with the latter offering tips and equipment to help you through your pregnancy.
What Comes Included?
Pretty much every company in this section of the market offers something a little different, but they all promise to send you products that are both educational and fun to use. Depending on the subscription box service you turn to you can expect to see things like art projects, baking materials, books, activities and, in one specific case, Lego pieces.
The boxes for expectant mums tend to feature things that a mum-to-be would find useful. In some instances that includes educational materials about what the pregnancy experience is going to be like, whilst in others your box might contain things to pamper yourself with during your gestation period. Luxe Box London aims for the high-end of the market with numerous specific boxes filled with top-quality gifts.
