Fun and Educational Activities for Kids – Mailed to Your Doorstep

I have been so excited for today!  I am really hoping that what I have to share with you will be useful and you might be as thrilled about it as I am.

Today is the day I am going to share 6 wonderful resources for inspiring, teaching, exciting, and encouraging a child in your life.

To do this, I have reached out to 6 different companies, all who make and send subscriptions boxes to kids of all ages – full of educational, creative, entertaining and inspiring material for your child to dig through.

Why would I do that, you ask?

Well, about 2 months ago my sister discovered a subscription box, and gifted one to my 8 year old daughter.  My daughter was enthralled! – (to say the least).  It was the first thing she played with when she woke up.  It was the first thing she ran to when she got home from school.  She made the very most out of every single thing in that box, until she was ready to store it in her closet.  That subscription box still makes its way out to play every now and again.

{And just in case this is the first time you’ve heard about a “subscription box”, it works just like a subscription magazine where you pay up front and they deliver your goodies every month in the mail.}

I was so impressed with this box I began searching for more to buy her.  That’s when I realized there were so many subscription boxes for kids – how is a mommy supposed to know which is the best for her child!  (Of course in a perfect world I could afford them all).

That’s when I decided to use the power of being a “mommy blogger”.

I wondered if a subscription box was something you already knew about.  I wondered how I might share the goodness of these products with my readers.  I wondered if you had a favorite, and we could chat about it.  I wondered how it was possible to know what was truly inside and which one my kids would love the most.

And then, I wondered . . .

. . . is it possible that I could find some companies that would send me a box for FREE to review and write about and share with all my lovely TIDBITS readers – so we could all decided which one is best for our children?

And get this!!  5 of them said, “YES!”  Whoa, I was so excited!  1 of them did not offer this option, but I had to buy it anyway to review for you because I thought it was still worth hearing about (I will disclose later which one this is).

So if you are as excited about this as I am (cue thoughts of long summer days with nothing for your kids to do), I have an entire weeks worth of posts to roll out, each featuring a detailed review of one of these fantastic subscription boxes.

In each post I’ll have a new box ready for review with loads of pictures of my kids in action.

I will be providing information such as:

• Look at cost
• Engagement
• Area of interest
• Deals and Promotions
• Age Range
• Assistance Needed
• Links for purchase (all affiliate links)
• Other

What I will not be providing is statements such as, “This one is the best” or “totally buy this one and not this one”.  Why?  Because I have hand picked all the best ones out there and you can’t go wrong with any of them.  Also, each child has different interests and personalities.  What is best for my child is not best for yours.  But I will be sharing what sort of interests and hobbies they are geared to so you can spend your money on the most worthwhile one for your child.

Lastly, I want to give you a quick line up of what boxes you will find in my reviews (in case you want to do any research on your own beforehand).

• Box 1 – Kiwi Crate (my review, here)
• Box 2 – Cooper & Kid (my review, here)
• Box 3 – Little Passports (my review, here)
• Box 4- Green Kid Crafts (my review, here)
• Box 5 – Bramble Box (my review, here)
• Box 6 – Surprise Ride (my review, here)
• Referral Page – Overall review and comparison, here.

I would love to hear if you have tried subscription boxes before!  Is there one you love that isn’t on my list to review?  Is there anything else you would like to know?
