Subscription Boxes for Kids – My Sensory Box Review
My Sensory Box is a new subscription box for kids. This box is a little different than a typical kid’s subscription box, so I’m going to quote My Sensory Box on exactly what the box provides:
My Sensory Box provides hands on learning that is both visually and texturally attractive. Each box includes activities that are developmentally appropriate and stimulating. My Sensory Box, delivers to children, endless opportunities for creative play while simultaneously developing their fine motor skill, sorting and classification skills, their vocabulary and so much more.
My Sensory Box kindly sent me this box to review.
The Box: My Sensory Box
The Cost: $29.95 plus $3 shipping and handling. (First box is only $26.95)
The Products: A box filled with theme related sensory items will arrive by mail each month.
Make sure to check out the Mom, Kids and Baby Subscription Directory to find other kid’s subscription boxes!
Each box comes with a card detailing the items included, and activity ideas! This month’s theme is gardening.
Some of the activities suggested for these veggies:
Sort garden items by color, size and texture.
Close your eyes and identify the different garden items you feel.
Another activity: Scoop the pom poms into garden pots then count and sort them.
Verdict: I like that My Sensory Box has a unique approach to subscription boxes for kids. What do you think of this new subscription box?

After seeing the picture of what can come in the box, I think $30 a month is too much. I MIGHT pay half that, but that would be stretching it. I have a daughter with SPD and GAD. I would love to have this box, but I can go to the Dollar Tree and buy similar items and do these activities for way less. I won’t be trying it. 🙁
I have a special needs niece with significant brain damage, and these are exactly the types of things her therapists encourage us to use with her. I wish the price was a little lower. Or, I’d spend this amount if there were an altruistic element, like if they donated a portion from every box to an organization for kids with special needs or something. I’m not getting on a moral soapbox and saying this is something they should be doing; I’m just saying it’s something that would make it more appealing to me, one consumer out of thousands. 🙂
Regardless, bravo to them for a great idea!
I used to be a Special Education teacher and this seems like a really fun box for those children whose disability causes them to have sensory issues. The sorting activities are also very educational.
Love this. Tried kiwi crate for our visually impaired/blind preschooler; it wasn’t a big hit. $30 is a bit steep but I definitely will try at least one month.
