Who Knew? Amazon Can Automatically Send Your Kids New Books Every Month

We updated this article in August 2022 to include more information about subscription boxes, removed all sold out products and included three new picks vetted and selected by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

There are so many subscription boxes available these days — makeup subscription boxes, clothing subscription boxes and food subscription boxes, but most of those are made for adults. It’s time for kids to get in on the fun too —plus, having something to look forward to when the local delivery person comes knocking at your door is exciting for all ages. And the best subscription boxes for kids pull double-duty, after all: First, they keep them entertained (and sometimes, clothed and fed). That’s worth the price of admission alone! Second, all those fun activities for kids and curated essentials make things easier on the parents who are constantly trying to find balance between tablet time and playtime.

Just like subscription boxes for adults, most kits require you to answer a few questions, including ages and preferences, but once that’s done, your child’s next after-school or weekend activity is delivered right to your door. This is especially convenient with clothing subscription boxes: No more dragging the kids to the store and forcing them into fitting rooms. Simply pay for what they like (and what fits them properly) and send the rest back on your own time.

Beyond clothing, here at the Good Housekeeping Institute, our experts have selected some of the best kits for kids including subscriptions that they personally get delivered to their homes each month for their own children, boxes they buy as gifts for other children and brands that have rave reviews. Below you will find subscription boxes for baking and cooking with recipes from around the world, fun inclusive books for ages 0-14+, packages with developmentally appropriate toys and craft subscriptions that take DIYing to a new level. Whether you’re buying these as a great gifts for kids or for your own, we have exciting options for all children.
