There is no denying that everyone loves getting mail, kids included, which is why we think it’s a great idea to give your little one a monthly moment of excitement with a subscription box. We’ve included a number of options and activities for you to choose from. Give your young scientist regular experiments and engineering challenges, your burgeoning bookworm a stream of new material, and your child chef delicious recipes. Your child will have something to look forward to whether they’re bored out of their minds on summer break, need a little extra engagement during the school year, or looking for some more stimulation during their regular downtime. We challenge you not to join in on the fun.

This is one of the best STEM boxes for kids who are eager to have fun while putting their smarts to the test. Great for kids between the ages of 6 and 12, this box will teach your kiddo the basics of computer coding in a fun and engaging way. Each new box introduces a new theme that builds off of the skills your tiny Einstein picked up in the previous box. Work through animal, robot, fantasy, and flight themes to build “apps” that they can save in a virtual App Keeper. Each box comes with progress stickers so your child can track their hard work. Coding can seem like a daunting task, but never fear, these boxes are tailored made for your child and should they come up against a challenge they can’t seem to solve, you will be equipped with a Grownup Guide to assist. Your kid will become a confident coder in no time.
