We have had the chance to test out a number of subscription boxes - some great, others not so much. I decided to assemble a list of The Best Subscription Boxes for Kids to help those who might be looking for a perfect gift for a child. What's better than the gift of creativity and family fun?

Why Subscription Boxes are Awesome
When I think of the best gifts, they are the kinds that create memories and provide experiences. Subscription boxes make great gifts for just those reasons. They provide children with all the tools they need to have an experience. The experience may be educational, artistic or just plain fun. These make great gifts for the kid who has everything.
Is Shipping and Handling Included?
Most of these subscription boxes include shipping and handling in the cost. When they don't, I have indicated it under subscription options. All prices were current at the time of this writing, but they may change at any time.
Raddish Kids
Do your kids love cooking? I have long been a proponent of cooking with kids. There are so many things kids learn by helping out in the kitchen. Math, reading, chemistry and cooperation, and more are used while following a recipe.
Raddish is a monthly subscription box for kids that is a cooking club, culinary lesson, and mealtime solution all in one. Young children get to work with an adult, while older kids and teens independently indulge their culinary curiosity! And it's perfect for picky eaters — kids who cook, eat!
A new kit is delivered to your doorstep every month! You can choose from the Cooking Club, Baking Club or Global Eats Club.
Each kit features a unique culinary theme! You'll also get a shopping list emailed to you prior to delivery so you will be ready to cook. These kits are a great way for kids to develop new cooking skills and confidence in the kitchen while the entire family builds memories together.
Subscription options:
Raddish Kids offers a number of subscription options. Monthly subscriptions are $27.95 per month. A 6 month subscription is $25.95 per month and a 12 month subscription is $23.95 per month.
