All of the KiwiCo boxes are big favorites with kids, so it was no surprise that Kiwi Crate topped the list this year! (All of their other boxes are also on this list, so they're a great brand to check out for all ages if you're looking for an educational kids subscription box!)
Kiwi Crate is a subscription box for children ages 3-8. It arrives every month with all the materials and instructions needed to complete 2-3 crafts centered around a theme, plus additional materials to help educate young learners!

Tinker Crate is a subscription box for kids ages 9-14 from KiwiCo. Like Kiwi Crate, it comes with everything you need to complete projects based around a central theme. Unlike Kiwi Crate, however, these projects are less crafty and more based on STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) learning and enrichment.

The brand we're watching in 2017: Pley, $12.99 - $24.99/month
Pley originally launched as a toy rental subscription, and their Toy Library option is still available starting at $12.99 per month. They've recently started expanding their options, and now have a Disney Princess Pley Box ($24.99/month plus shipping) as well as a National Geographic Pley Box ($19.99/month plus shipping). We are definitely keeping an eye on this brand to see what else they have in store for 2017!
