MUD AND BLOOM
Delivered through your letter box at the beginning of each month, these gorgeous nature inspired boxes are suitable for ages three to eight and cost from £13.50 a month. Packed with everything you need for four nature craft activities we think this is exceptionally good value. In the May box we received seeds to grow our own radishes and sunflowers plus materials to make a beautiful sun catcher. mudandbloom.com
ZAZA STORYBOX
Inside this monthly subscription box you’ll receive two books and a toy to correspond with the theme. We loved the baking box that we received, complete with two board books with fun sliding parts and lift the flap surprises. Plus a cute felt gingerbread man to accompany. This is suitable for ages up to 24 months so one for younger toddlers but still a real treat! zazastorybox.com
PEAS AND POD
Child-led home learning boxes suggested for three to seven year olds, although we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the contents with a two year old! Seasonally focused and inspired by Montessori, Steiner, Reggio Emilia & Forest School, the latest box is all about ladybirds and packed with lifecycle and anatomy cards, instructions for apple printing and how to make your own fridge magnet. peasandpod.com
GRACEFUL CHANGES
This was such a delight to receive – a giant sack full of gorgeous organic clothes. Prices start at £12.50 per month and clothing goes up to four years. It’s a great way to save space, money and time. You get a handpicked capsule wardrobe with all the essentials, perfectly sized delivered straight to your door. Some items may be new, some may have been previously worn, but all were in great condition. gracefulchanges.co
WHIRLI
We loved this concept – the subscription service was really easy to use and we ended up with some amazing toys that have become firm favourites. You can swap the toys as often as you like or buy those that you love at less than retail price. This is the ultimate eco friendly way of ensuring you have a great selection of educational toys. Brilliant! whirli.com
BUNDLEE
This is a great way to clothe your child in ethical basics. Prices start from £24 for non-brand and £39 for brands such as Hatley and the Bonnie Mob. You receive 15 items made from organic cotton. Sizes range from birth up to 18-24 months. When your little one outgrows their clothing simply send back and get the next size up. Simples! bundlee.co.uk
