Subscription Details
Think Outside Boxes has 2 subscription options to choose from….
Think Outside Jr. is designed for children ages 4 – 7, while their regular Think Outside program is best suitable for ages 7 – 16+. Depending on the interests of your child and parent involvement, the regular Think Outside program can also be interesting for younger children. The Think Outside Jr. focuses on the What & Why questions of nature and making it fun for kids to play outside and the regular Think Outside program is designed to help children gain confidence in the outdoors with our challenges and education with quality outdoor gear that can grow with them.

Think Outside Boxes Review – Final Thoughts
What a great subscription for littles! Think Outside Boxes is fun, informative and a great way to get your littles away from the screen. I love that the October box focused on first aid because this is something the whole family can benefit from. The monthly booklet contained a ton of great information and I myself learned a lot from it. I did notice that my box was missing one item, and I’m not sure if this was the regular box or the junior box but those are details I will do some research on and update you with the next review. I’m very interested to learn more about this subscription and can’t wait to share a few more boxes with you.
