Everyone loves getting things in the mail, EVERYONE! Why not surprise the favorite kid in your life with some mail by ordering a monthly subscription box? As a Nanny, these are my favorite monthly subscription boxes for kids spanning topics from travel, science, reading, and just plain fun.
Monthly Subscription Boxes for Kids
Kids Monthly Subscription Boxes: Little Passports
I love Little Passports! One of the Nanny Kids gets both the World Edition and Science Expeditions in the mail and we love doing them together every month.
Each month a new package arrives in the mail that focuses on a specific country (even in the science editions!) My personal favorite has been the World Edition for Japan. We did origami, learned how to count in Japanese, and made a yummy snack!

Kids Monthly Subscription Boxes: OurShelves
Want to share stories with your children about diverse people and families, but having a hard time finding some, that’s where OurShelves comes in.
Each month a pack of 3 or 5 books can be delivered to you directly with stories proudly featuring “feminist, racially and ethnically diverse, and LGBTQ+ characters and families, among other under-represented identities in children’s books.”
Each book OurShelves sends out is hand picked by a curation team made up of librarians, teachers, academics, psychologists and parents ensuring books are top quality.

This is so helpful! I’m an aunt who lives far from my little niece and nephew–I live in Switzerland and they live in the USA–I am always searching for creative and fun gift ideas and surprises to send to them. It’s difficult to be this far away, and the COVID-19 crisis has made visits impossible this year and for the near future (at least–ugh). I’ve bookmarked this post for current and future use. 🙂
I hope your niece and nephew enjoy some of these great subscription boxes!
