Make shopping simple with the Stitch Fix Kids box delivered to your door each month. You’ll get a box of 8-12 handpicked items for your boy or girl, personalized to their style, size, and, most importantly, your budget.

If automatic deliveries don’t work for you, you can also shop on demand, with no subscription required.
This monthly clothing subscription box for girls is the perfect gift if you have a little fashionista at home. You’ll take a fun quiz to tell Kidpik about your child’s preferences and decide your delivery frequency. You’ll receive three fashionable mix-and-match outfits styled just for her — a total of seven pieces of clothing plus jewelry, accessories, and a pair of shoes. She can pick her favorite finds and return the rest, or you can keep the whole box and receive 30 percent off your order.

This monthly subscription box was created by a mom and occupational therapist who wanted to inspire parents looking for new ideas to engage their kids with fun and therapeutic play.

An occupational therapist handpicks the items, and the toys in each box help develop important sensory motor skills and engage your child in fun, sensory play.
This monthly book subscription box will immerse your young bookworm into a world of stories, with new books delivered each month. Each box contains a new novel perfect for children ages 8-12, as well as goodies from the author and 3-5 unique gifts that go with that month’s reading theme. OwlCrate Jr. helps children foster a love for reading at a young age and encourages creativity and imagination.
This subscription box is helping to inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers by delivering amazing science experiments to your door each month. Your young scientist can learn the real science behind each interactive experiment, and you get to be their trusty lab partner.

It’s the perfect blend of fun and learning to teach children how to think like a scientist, enhance problem-solving skills, and encourage creativity.
