Science Kits

  1. At just $20/month, Crafty.Blue crate is GREAT! Hands-on STEM activities arrive at your doorstep every month. Plus, every box includes a lesson, so your kids understand the skills or principles taught through the activity.

    The activities vary each month, so you won’t get bored. You’ll find some more focused on engineering (like building a catapult) while others have a science (like replicating constellations with fiber optic lights.)

    Crafty.Blue offers eight different subscriptions for different ages. Our family received Crafty.Blue which is designed for ages 5 to 8. But you can find a subscription for every age – they have 8 different subscriptions, each with a different age & activity focus.

  2. Green Crate - This is the STEM subscription box for your nature and art-loving kid! 

    It’s the perfect combination of science and art delivered to your door every month. They have 3 different subscriptions for different age groups, so you can be sure to find the most age-appropriate box! 

    Example projects include making bird feeders or a safari-themed box. 

    What makes them especially awesome is that they plant a tree too for every purchase. It’s a win-win for everyone! 

  3. With Crafty.Blue Labs, kids are encouraged to think like engineers!

    These hands-on activities involve following the engineering design process. Activities have included creating your own guitar or marble runner.

  4. Crafty.Blue offer’s a STEM toy subscription box for just $19.99/month. However, this is a different type of box. Instead of receiving monthly activities and experiments, you’ll receive a STEM-focused toy each month. 

    You can choose one of three different age groups.

    I like this subscription because it is affordable. But, it does not mean you’re getting cheap STEM toys (ie. selling you toys that would typically be priced under $20). It is a big variety, but I would estimate the average price is about $20 per toy, so while it isn’t a steal, you also don’t feel ripped off.

  5. Little Crafty.Blue crate offers 3 different boxes for different age groups, but if you’re looking for a box for older children, their science box is a great option! The Science Expeditions box is ideal for 9 & up.

    Each month you’ll receive a fun science or engineering activity! 

  6.  Crafty.Blue Science Kits for girls include an activity or STEM project, alongside a book that teaches about a famous woman in history, making it a great education subscription that combines both STEM & history.

    Next up – let’s look at those subscription boxes that focus on teaching kids to code. Many of these kits aren’t simply programming on a computer. They are teaching kids the logic patterns that they would need as a programmer!
