Digital Membership for Kids: KidArtLit

If you’ve been looking for a creative way to connect with your children, we’re certain you will love this wonderful subscription for kids from KidArtLit.

Each month you’ll receive creative and bookish inspiration delivered straight to your email inbox.

Every digital edition includes:

  • a themed picture book list that you can print for your local librarian or click to view on our Amazon Storefront,
  • literature-inspired art guides with straightforward supply lists and illustrated instructions,
  • a family-friendly music playlist to enjoy for free on Spotify,
  • two or more printable activities that give you the super quick and easy win you need
  • author letters,
  • expert guidance,

…and even more tools to help you connect with kids through reading and creating.


KidArtLit books and projects are perfect for kids 3-8 years old.

The kit we received was their “How to Meet a Hedgehog” themed kit.

They suggested a handful of books that all looked wonderful. I opted not to purchase any new books (as tempted as I was!) as I already had one of the recommended books on hand so we re-read it while listening to their curated music list and worked on the art projects outlined in the kit.

There was also lots of dancing and spinning around. With four little music-book-art-loving girls, there was lots of fun to be had! 🙂

I will say that I am super picky when it comes to books. Probably quite a bit picker than most. I don’t typically subscribe to book subscription boxes for kids because, in the past, they just didn’t meet my expectations. I did sign up for a six-month subscription to KidArtLit last year and fortunately, I was impressed with all the books we received. In fact, many of them have become some of our most treasured books.

The book we re-read to go along with this kit was Wild World. The gorgeous illustrations will immediately draw you right in. Miss 2 had an especially fun time playing with our collection of toobs.

The digital files from KidArtLit included a printable file to make your own rainbow hand kits. What an easy and affordable to make your own hand kits! You could also purchase wooden rings and make your hand kites with those if you’d like.

Isn’t this book just gorgeous?

With the digital subscription, you can easily check all the recommended books out from the library before committing to keeping them in your home. I will say that Wild World has been such a terrific addition to our home library!

We also pressed flowers and worked on a fun weaving project. Perfect for spring! Instructions were included to make your own flower press but we recently purchased one so we ended up just using that one.

We may end up making our own in the near future though, as it would be fun to add our own drawings or paintings to the top cover.

I especially appreciated the “tips and tricks” section as well as the “extend the activity” section.

The digital option is perfect for those who are a bit more selective or minimal in their purchases, or for those who already have a wide selection of craft supplies in their home, or even those who would rather check out a book from the library before purchasing. It’s also a great option for those looking for a more affordable subscription.

If you’re looking for a super convenient option, and would rather receive the actual supplies and book delivered directly to your home each month, they also offer a couple different subscription box options to choose from.

Update: this subscription box is no longer available. You can find a similar subscription here.

I love how the books and crafts tie together. I also like that you get a book list to be able to learn more!

I think the best feature about KidArtLit is you get to review the books before you commit to purchase. Knowing what I'm getting before I spend money is very important. If you already have a suggested book from the list, and the craft supplies needed for a project, it makes moving forward even easier & more cost effective.

Yes, I like that aspect too!
