DIY Subscription Boxes are a simple way to bring back real, hands-on creativity.

• No cheaply made toys.
• No tiny pieces that break by Tuesday
• No “wow” that fades before the packaging hits the trash.

Just a cheerful box filled with crayons, paper, stickers, craft sticks, mini-pompoms, tape, or whatever the craft or activity box is about for a perfect analog crafting or activity afternoon.

     When you build the box yourself, it’s surprisingly affordable. Instead of paying top dollar for a flimsy, plastic toy, spend your hard-earned money on supplies kids actually use—again and again. A DIY craft or activity box stretches farther, gets loved harder, and doesn’t end up in a toy pile of forgotten, cracked gadgets. Scissors, crayons, tape, stickers, paper—those are the tools of real creativity. 

     Make kits monthly, make them seasonal, or make them a “just because” surprise. Ideas for craft and activity boxes can be found on Simple Literature’s DIY Subscription Box blog. Each blog offers a DIY Subscription Box idea. Each idea has been broken into age groups below.
