Do family members ever ask, “What should I get _____(insert a child’s name) for _____(insert any holiday or birthday) this year?” You cringe knowing that not one more toy is needed in your house or classroom. Well, I have the perfect answer you can give this year- a KidArtLit subscription.
Full Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. I was provided with samples of KidArtLit boxes, but all opinions expressed are my own.
I’ve tried a variety of book-related subscription boxes over the years and many of them were ok, but KidArtLit is far above the rest that I have seen. It is my favorite. Let me show you why you’ll love it too.
We’ve tried three KidArtLit boxes so far and my kids (and me) have enjoyed each one. Here is what comes inside each Deluxe box.
- You get a hardcover gorgeous (often brand-new release) book. No need to worry that you’ll get a book you already have on hand.
- Supplies to create two process art experiences. Everything you need is in the box. One activity is called Ready, Set, Go and can be done immediately when you open the box. The second activity is best done after reading the book with your kids.
- Plus, there is a mini-magazine with all the directions and background information.
Let me walk you through a kit.
Your kit arrives around the middle of each month. When you open your box you will immediately spot the bag labeled Ready, Set, Go. This is an activity to do right away if you choose because we all know kids want to dive right in when they open a gift.
Pull out the mini-magazine to soak in all the goodness that is included in your box. You will read about the box’s theme, enclosed book, and your process art activity. Yep, no cookie cutter craft projects include. Each piece is about the process.
Time to enjoy the gorgeously illustrated hardcover book for the month. So far we have enjoyed Grandmother Thorn, A River, and Windows in our kits.
Finally, rest assured that all the supplies you need for two kids to do the art activity are waiting for you when you are ready to create. I guarantee you’ll even have supplies leftover for other creative endeavors.
You can order monthly boxes, 3-month subscriptions, 6-month, and 12-month subscriptions. There are also smaller Spark boxes and digital subscriptions. And, Growing Book by Book readers can take 20% off the first month of all varieties of KidArtLit products using the special code GROW20
When family members ask you what to buy this year, say, “We would love a KidArtLit subscription!” In fact, send them the link to this post right now so they can see how cool it is and they can get it done.
Happy reading and creating.

Do you know of these for 5th through 8th grades?
Jodie Rodriguez says
Nancy, I’m not aware of any for the older grades. I think it is a great idea. I wish someone would do it.

Jodi, do you know if the books are chosen according to age? I have a one year old grandson. I love this idea but am thinking i should wait a year or two?
Jodie Rodriguez says
Deade, they are best for ages 3-8.
