Green Kid Crafts is a subscription box founded by environmental scientist Penny Bauder, delivering 4-6 hands-on STEAM projects each month alongside a 12-page educational magazine. The company puts real emphasis on sustainability — using recycled materials, minimizing plastic packaging, and planting a tree for every order.
Boxes come in two age tiers: Junior (ages 3-5, more craft-focused) and Discovery (ages 5-10+, more science-focused), with the flexibility to switch tiers if a family’s needs change. Families can subscribe monthly or prepay for longer terms at a lower per-box rate. Packages start at $24.95/month with an annual plan.
What Families Love
Genuinely eco-conscious — sustainable materials, minimal packaging, one tree planted per order.
4-6 activities per box plus a 12-page magazine to guide learning.
Two age tiers (Junior 3-5, Discovery 5-10+) keep projects age-appropriate.
Designed by a panel including engineers, educators, and scientists.
Things to Consider
Cost adds up over a year, especially at month-to-month pricing.
Not a full curriculum — best paired with core academics rather than used alone.
Some reviewers note occasional shipping delays or material quality variance.
Honest Reviews. Real Families. Better Choices.
