Happy Valentine’s Week, everyone! I’ve been slowly working on compiling this list for the last almost year – because I have wanted to be certain that each of these subscription boxes are worth both the hype and the money. My goal in life is always to make my life and my kids lives better and easier where we can and the right subscription box can really make the difference. So here are 5 subscriptions I fully endorse as a mom of 3!
Subscription Boxes For Kids (that are actually worth the hype)
Another household favorite – Little Spoon!! For the last 5 years I’ve either been feeding baby food or getting picky toddlers to eat ~something~ and nobody makes it easier than Little Spoon. Between Babyblends and Biteables, full plates and lunches, and our personal favorite – pouches and snacks, there is something for every stage. Noah is big into the smoothie pouches and biteables transition meals at age 2, Jack loves the full plates and snacks at 4 and we are just about start our 5 month old on some organic Babyblends! This is seriously a win-win-win for us. Healthy & junk-free foods the kids with actually eat? Worth every penny! Plus – get 50% off your first box with code LOVEBUG!
This was the first subscription box we invested in for Jack when he was little. Not only do experts back all of the toy choices sent for each developmental mile stone – but they’re beautiful, heirloom quality pieces that will last through MULTIPLE children. I can confirm, I have toys from when Jack was a baby that Alice uses now (5 years later and 3 kids later). The play kits are AWESOME – and so are their extras! We also have the block set, a quilt, the play gym and the tunnel. We’ve never been disappointed in all the years we’ve been receiving boxes for our kids!
Homer is likely our MOST used subscription. Jack LOVES Homer. This is an educational iPad subscription that I fully stand by. Jack practices reading, writing, math and more and even better: he barely realizes he actually learning because he’s having SO much fun. I love that his “screen time” for the day can be SO good for him. As a mom – it eases some of the guilt I might have for his limited screen time because it’s educator backed and sees an increase in early reading by 74%. Plus, you can choose which age child you have and it customizes the learning for them.
This is made by the same company that makes Homer – but is a physical subscription box! A STEM-focused delivery box that teaches kids about the world around them. They get crafts, games, hands-on learning opportunities and more. I love that this is education focused and you don’t get the same items twice. They are new and exciting everytime. This makes an AWESOME Christmas gift. They also have early learning kits that go along with Homer above so you can bring homer to life in your home!
This one is so much fun if your kid loves to be in the kitchen helping you cook. Jack is really big into cooking and helping cook right now so this has been a real joy to do with him. The boxes were developed by teachers and chefs so they are practical and educational. The recipes are easy to follow (and delicious). They get their own apron and each box comes with a skills patch! Teach them healthy habits in the kitchen early with Raddish Kids!
