18 Monthly Subscription Boxes for Kids Ages 7-12

Who doesn’t love getting a package in the mail? The surprise! The excitement! The opening! Now multiply that enthusiasm by 1000 when the package is for a kid because let’s face it, kids rarely get a package, let alone one that’s perfectly tailored to their age and interests. But now any child can have that excitement each month with monthly subscription boxes for kids.

Starting at under $10 a month, and ranging from small to large and expensive, kids of any age can get a package or box shipped straight to their door with educational, fun, and even silly activities and products. Choose a theme, hobby, or activity they already love, and you know they’ll be smitten with whatever arrives. Monthly subscription boxes for kids are the perfect birthday, holiday, or “just because” gift.

We’ve highlighted an amazing list of monthly subscription boxes for kids ages 7-12 below, listed by interest. Have a foodie in the family? Sweet! Pre-teen that loves pop-culture? Rock on! Each subscription is different (timing, cost, opportunity to make choices vs. a curated surprise), so be sure to check out each box’s features.

For the Scientist or Engineer: 

KiwiCo (ALL ages, starting at approx. $17)
Inspire any young innovator with some award-winning fun and enriching science and art projects. It’s easy. Just pick a line of projects based on the child’s age like the Atlas Crate for those ages 6-11 who are interested in geography and culture, the Doodle Crate for pages 9-16 who like to create and craft, or the Tinker Crate for ages 9-16 who thrive with science and engineering. Then pick a delivery plan (monthly up to 12 months worth), and watch as the projects inspire children to become creative problem solvers.

Bitsbox (ages 6-12, starting at $30 a month)
Voted the #1 STEM Box for kids, children are able to start by coding from examples and progress quickly to inventing their own applications. No coding experience is necessary, but children learn how to make video games, greeting cards, simulations, and more that work on REAL phones and tablets. This is the perfect subscription box for kids that love tech.

Groovy Lab (ages 8+, starting at $30)
While most monthly subscription boxes for kids send directions for how to complete the projects, Groovy Lab gives investigation activities with step-by-step directions, but also sends an Engineering Design Challenge where children must rely on their critical thinking skills, and what they’ve learned through the investigation process from the Lab Notebook and online activities to complete on their own. The Engineering Design Challenge is the ultimate project – a culmination of your STEMist’s learning experience.
