Wondering what are the best subscription boxes for babies and toddlers?
Subscription boxes have been around for several years now, and they are definitely not going anywhere. Whether you are looking to keep your child’s toy and clothing selection new and fresh or you’re just looking for the perfect gift for a friend, subscription boxes might be just the answer you’ve been looking for!
Subscription boxes for babies and toddlers come in all shapes and sizes— and for a range of ages, too. From hand-picked, curated wooden toys to art projects and science experiments, there is a box for every child. You can find a subscription for just about everything.
That said, it can definitely be overwhelming to know which type is best for your child. I’ve done tons of research and found the best subscription boxes for babies and toddlers so you don’t waste your time or money. Enjoy!
1. KiwiCo
For a fun, activity-based box, KiwiCo has a fantastic subscription box. Designed by experts, each box includes age-appropriate projects, usually with both art and STEM components. Delivered monthly, these crates are great for children’s development with hands-on projects that introduce them to new learning concepts and materials. You’ll also find a parent’s guide to support the activities with explanations and various extension projects.
The Panda Crate is for children under age two, and the Koala Crate is for children ages two to four. Believe me, these boxes will inspire those curious little minds every month!
2. Lovevery Play Kits
Montessori-inspired Lovevery Play Kits are one of the best options for toy subscription boxes.
Thanks to Lovevery’s team of experts, Lovevery eliminates all the stress associated with trying to give your baby the perfect play environment. Instead, you can rely on the toys in the Play Kits to help your baby develop the right skills for their age. Each kit corresponds with age-related milestones, so each box your child receives will grow along with them.
They also include a handy guide to help their caregivers make the most of the toys. Most of their products are made with non-toxic standards in mind. For more info, read my full guide to Lovevery Play Kits.

3. LALO Play Sets
Designed by educators, LALO Play Sets are Montessori-style kits that provides engaging toys for babies and toddlers. When you sign up for a subscription, you’ll also have access to a parent portal full of useful information and tips on how to best play and engage your child. These boxes arrive monthly and are on the pricier side of things, but they really do deliver high-quality toys (and many of them in each box!) Similar to Lovevery, each box will correspond to your child’s age and developmental milestones.
4. Sensory TheraPLAY Box
The Sensory TheraPLAY Box is another very unique option. Each box includes 5-7 sensory toys. Each toy is designed to encourage sensory-motor skills and build emotional regulation in preschoolers. Typical items include things like putty, hand fidgets, and textured toys. Can’t speak to how non-toxic everything is. Also keep in mind, this box is best for ages 5+.
5. Green Kids Crafts
Green Kids offers monthly boxes full of fun science and art projects for ages 2-5 (and older!). Each box contains 4-6 STEM projects, designed by the experts. Inside you’ll also find a magazine that supports and reinforces the activities, which is great for extension learning. I love that each box is made as eco-friendly as possible, and they plant one tree for every order placed.
6. Little Learners Busy Box
As the name suggests, the Little Learners Busy Box is full of hands-on learning activities perfect for children ages 2 to 4. Each box has a theme and includes three reusable activities. I love that you can do the activities and then store them for later use. Keep in mind, there is also an option to upgrade to a larger box that comes with five reusable activities.

7. Bookroo
Bookroo is an award-winning book club for ages 0-10. It is designed to discover new books and help children fall in love with reading. When you order the box, you save a bit of money off the retail price of the included books. They also provide a 100% money-back guarantee if you aren’t satisfied.
8. Tiny Humans Read
Another wonderful book subscription box is the Tiny Humans Read box!
They curate books for ages 0-8 and send a monthly box to your door. Each book is thoughtfully chosen with your child’s age in mind. You can sign up for their board book box, which includes 4 books perfect for the youngest readers. They also have the picture book box catered to older toddlers and elementary-age children.
If you have two little readers, they do sell a sibling’s box which provides books for multiple ages. Inside you’ll also find a few bonus activities that thematically relate to the books in the box.
9. Reading Bug
Reading Bug offers monthly boxes of books handpicked by book experts aimed to inspire and develop young readers. Inside, you’ll receive two to four books (depending on the box you’ve chosen). And they have a huge variety of boxes that are customized to your exact needs. Whether you have a young baby who needs board books, or a toddler who likes picture books, or both, they have a box tailored just for you.
10. Stitch Fix Kids
Stitch Fix Kids delivers styled children’s clothing right to your door. Prefaced with a detailed questionnaire, you can set the price range and style. They will ship you a box of clothing full of 8-12 clothing items. Your child can try on the clothing at home, keep what works, and ship back clothing that doesn’t fit. Shipping, returns, and exchanges are completely free, but the styling fee is $20. If you like all of the clothing, you can receive 25% off the retail price, which can be quite a bargain! We all know how fast children go through clothes. This is an easy way to stay ahead of them!
Enjoy Your Subscription Box!
I hope you are able to find a subscription box or two that fits your family’s needs! I promise these are the best subscription boxes for babies and toddlers, and they will bring the best books, activities, crafts, and clothing right to your doorstep. And, let’s be honest, there is nothing quite like watching your child’s eyes light up when they see they have a package in the mail. Enjoy!
