Little Passports $13 and up/month (ages 3-9)

We can't travel around the world right now (sad face) but kids can still learn about the world and its cultures. Little Passports sends a mini suitcase filled with activities related to the states that make up the U.S., countries around the world, and topics like oceans and music. There is also a science-themed box for children who love to experiment.

Sago Mini Box $19/month (ages 3-5)

Kids score a little figurine with each Sago Mini box and then the material to build their little world. Fairy tales, airplanes and this pet cafe are just a few of the projects your preschooler will get each month.

Raddish Kids $24/month (ages 4 -14)

Little chefs will love this kit that mixes math, science and lessons on culture. Kids get a monthly cooking kit with seasonal and global themes, like Summer Luau and Taste of Thailand, learn culinary skills, create new recipes, and collect an apron patch and kitchen tool. Raddish Kids donated 50,000 Raddish kits to families as quarantine life went into effect and is donating all proceeds of their $5 Vintage e-Kit for COVID-19 Relief to #ChefsforAmerica program.

Bitsbox $17/month (ages 7 and up)

Girls Can! Crate $28/month (ages 5-10)

Kids can learn about amazing female role models like Frida, Malala, and RBG while creating art and science projects in this fun and educational crate.

Orange Art Box $36/month (ages 5-12)

Owl Crate Jr. $28/month (ages 8-12)

Owl Crate is more than a monthly book club. Each crate delivers a "magical" delivery with a middle grade novel, goodies from the author, and three to five playthings built around a monthly theme that encourages curiosity, creativity, and imagination.

MEL Science $35/month (ages 9-14)

These chemistry kits, like galaxy in a bottle, rainbow crystals and painting with light, come with a VR headset and chemistry starter kit and are pretty amazing (and safe). MEL Kids has science kits too for ages 5 to 10 at $25/month.

Sensory TheraPLAY $40/month (ages 5-9)

Therapy meets sensory play in these wonderful kits designed by an occupational therapist who worked with children with autism and developmental delays.
