My 10 year old daughter has had a few of these subscription boxes now and has enjoyed them, but this month’s is just so lovely that I wanted to put it on here now!
These boxes are offered by the people at Books that Matter (who do the adult feminist book subscription boxes too) for £17 plus £3 postage in the UK. They still had March boxes available when I last looked here.
WARNING: Spoilers ahead…
The March Box
This box was heavier than usual and I hadn’t seen the theme ahead of when it arrived. My daughter loves getting these boxes and they are always beautifully packed.
The March theme is a collaboration with Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls.
The contents of the box are as follows:
- ‘I am a Rebel Girl’ hardback journal
- Two hardback books – ‘Madam C J Walker Builds a Business’ and ‘Dr Wangari Maathai Plants a Forest’
- A sheet of stickers
- A copy of the ‘Rebel Times’
- Two large postcards
- An activity booklet
The Verdict
This is a fabulous box and my daughter really likes it – even though it doesn’t contain the sweets or snacks that have been included previously!
From my perspective, I’d say this was excellent value for money – the books and journal are beautiful with colour illustrations throughout. The journal has loads of space to draw and write, plus prompts to help the creativity flow!
Even better is the message; this is a box absolutely packed with revolutionary and inspirational women, plus positive messages for girls. It also looks a lot of fun.
I’d whole-heartedly recommend this box for girls aged about 8-12. Each month has had some great books and treats – normally one book and a selection of other items.
If you want to see a previous box, here are my reviews for November and January.
