A Monthly Subscription Box Delivers Joy and Learning to Kids with ASD
If you’re a fan of subscription boxes, you know there’s a service for just about everything—makeup, wine, clothes, and yes, even toys and educational activities for kids on the autism spectrum. Enter the C.A.R.E Box, a monthly subscription service from Spectrum Toy Store in Illinois, specifically designed for children with developmental disabilities aged 13 and under.
Each C.A.R.E Box is packed with a mix of sensory toys, educational products, and activities tailored to your child’s developmental stage. “If a parent thinks their child could use some help with math, we might throw in a game like Chutes and Ladders that covers counting and number recognition,” explained Lila Green, the owner of Spectrum Toy Store. “Alongside that, we might include a reusable math placemat and fun flashcards to keep things interesting.” Green, who has a background in behavioral therapy, knows all too well the struggle parents face when choosing toys. “Parents often worry, ‘How long will my child actually play with this?’ Our goal is to provide a variety of engaging toys that promote both fun and learning.”
But C.A.R.E Box isn’t the only player in the subscription game for sensory-sensitive kiddos. Sensory Theraplay, created by a pediatric occupational therapist, offers boxes filled with sensory-friendly toys designed to enhance sensory motor skills. Aimed at kids aged 4 to 8, these boxes include therapeutic play items like putty, tactile toys, and crafts—perfect for keeping those little hands busy.
For those interested in the C.A.R.E Box, subscriptions start at $25.95 a month, and a portion of every subscription goes towards scholarships for out-of-school programs at Spectrum Toy Store. So not only do you get fun and learning for your child, but you’re also contributing to a good cause.
