The Best Art Subscription Boxes for a Summer of Inspiration

SketchBox is a monthly art supply subscription box that empowers artists of any age with unique, full-sized art supplies to create a surprise project. It’s the perfect way to spark creativity and keep the inspiration coming!

“I purchased a gift subscription for my daughter a year ago and she has asked for it again for her birthday. Each box that we have received has given her the opportunity to try out a medium she has never used before and convert her into loving charcoal (Sketchbox introduced her to it) and using ink vs. pencil. .” -Stacy

There’s no need to get bogged down in project planning when the pros behind the Adults & Crafts Crate have got it covered. Each monthly box sends at least 1 new Pinterest-worthy craft project, including all the supplies, tools, and illustrated step-by-steps to teach new crafting techniques while making one-of-a-kind keepsakes.

"I received the engraving kit and I love it! I practiced on an old glass weigh scale to get the hang of engraving. I then started the glass coasters using pictures off google. I am sooo happy with how they turned out! It’s very relaxing and is a great stress reliever. I have a few people now wanting me to make them sets of coasters :)" - Megan T.

Nurture your artistic talents with a box dedicated to using charcoal as a medium. Each subscription comes with 2 drawings, video tutorials, supplies, and mattes for framing.

“This is so much fun. He's so easy to follow. You have everything in the pack to make a great picture. It's totally suitable for framing and something I'm proud to have made.” – Jennifer G.

Art supplies are a great idea for kids in your life who are creative and looking for an outlet far beyond iPads. Even if they don’t know they’re crafty (yet!)

Designed for children between the ages of three and nine, this unique monthly subscription featuring DIY crafting supplies, step-by-step instructions, fun facts, and an engaging story will keep new crafters engaged for hours.

This monthly subscription box combines science experiments and art projects to provide educational, imaginative, and creative activities for developing the whole child.

Boxes also include a 12-page educational magazine jam-packed with puzzles, games, book recommendations, and additional project ideas related to the monthly theme. Green Kid Crafts makes a great gift and is perfect for ages 2 through 10.

“First box was a complete delight for the two 3-year-olds in my care. They were completely engaged with the art/science/exploration materials for several hours. The families appreciated that everything included is recyclable. I loved that everything I needed was in the box and I could see them learning as they played. It's just what I hoped for.” – Tyra M.

Quality time reigns supreme when it comes to our kiddos. From the first box on, the Little Dreamers Club helps you give your little ones the attention they crave and the confidence they need to learn and explore. Open to find a selection of goodies that include everything from books and activity pages to art projects and hands-on craft ideas.

"LOVED these! It got me on the ground and engaged in doing fun things with my 4 year old. The projects all had great instructions and were so easy to follow." - Ronda W.
