Little Global Citizens
Ages 4-10
After co-founders Tim Minnick and Akeelah Kuraishi quit their 9-5 jobs, they left their home and went backpacking around the world for 13 months. While backpacking, they met people of all different cultures, learning that all around the world they were welcomed with kindness and hospitality, and “outside of surface differences, we are all more similar than we are different.”
In response, they created Little Global Citizens in order to share the gift of experiencing the world, creating a life-long passion to learn about the world around them and a love for all people. Every other month, you and your child will receive a new country in each box. The box itself includes a country activity guide, a book, multiple crafts, activities, recipes, and a collectable language card. You are also able to shop for past subscription boxes and activity kits as well which include India, Egypt, Kenya, and much more!

Girls Can! Crate
Ages 5-10
While Megan Goodman was playing with her 4-year-old daughter, her daughter proclaimed “Let’s play princess and prince – you be the prince and you rescue me.” While there is absolutely nothing wrong with a little girl wanting to become a princess, Megan wanted to let her know that girls are just as capable of rescuing themselves. Girls Can! Crate was created to emphasize the power of girls, to inspire girls to believe that they can do anything by introducing them to women in history who have made the world a better place, ultimately showing girls they are innovators, leaders and creators.
Inside each crate includes an inspiring role model, a Girls Can! Activity book, 2-3 hands-on activities, and much more! Crate options include packages for one child, multiple children, and a mini-mailer for the busy families. Single crates begin at $32.95/month, crates for multiple are an additional $9/child, and the mini-mailers begin at $18/month.
The UPside Delivered

The UPside Delivered is the perfect subscription box to teach you children how to handle their mental health by teaching them about connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, in a healthy, natural way. Started by two counselors who were trying to think of new outside-the-box ideas to provide resource to families, they noted that todays children and teens are experiencing more stress than ever before and many have no clue how to manage this stress. The UPside Delivered provides education to parents about the how and why certain techniques and skills work to reduce stress, while also providing practical tools for immediate success at managing stress.

Hullabaloo Book Company
Ages 3-8
Born out of the desire to make it easy to put the best books into the hands of children, Hullabaloo Book Company was started by Hollis and Blaine, two life-long friends who have made it their mission to find the perfect book for every occasion. This book subscription company provides meaningful and perfectly packaged children’s books that are handpicked by people who care. Hullabaloo thrives by emphasizing their 6 attributes: Kindness, Curiosity, Intelligence, Imagination, Bravery, and Empathy. Parents, at the heart, will install these attributes to their children and Hullabaloo’s goal is to install these too.
Each hand-picked book and major company decision is made with these Attributes as the guiding force. Working with publishers, libraries, and other book venues, Hullabaloo works hard to find books and collaborations that lift people up, while emphasizing inclusion and fostering accessibility. Each box, that arrives on a monthly basis, includes a premium picture book, a signature Activity pack, and a free Club Members Only tote. Subscriptions start at $19.99/month.
AllTruists
Ages 4-11
Sometimes with all of the chaos surrounding daily life, it is difficult to tell if your children are learning about compassion, generosity, empathy, and humility. It is every parent’s goal to raise a good human, and for Jessica Jackley, one of the most important ways she could accomplish this was through volunteering with her kids. However, it’s difficult to find these opportunities for families due to scheduling as well as the fact that many of these opportunities are not inclusive to kids. This is why she created Alltruists!
Alltruists allows children and their parents to give back anytime, anywhere. Each box is themed to one major issue around the world and guides kids to engage with the issue in a positive, meaningful way. There are four major aspects included in each box: learning about the issue, connecting and building empathy through experience, taking action through special volunteering projects, and giving to charity through $5 donation. Subscriptions for one year start at $49.50/month.
