KidArtLit deliveries are created for children ages 3-8. Our books and projects are curated to meet the developmental needs of most children within this age range.

Each Deluxe or Spark delivery includes a hardback picture book, all the supplies you need for two people to complete related, open-ended art projects, and handy illustrated guides with step-by-step instructions and expert tips for success. We also always try to include a letter from the book author or illustrator for your family.

In short, Deluxe deliveries have two art kits, and Spark kits have one kit.

Deluxe deliveries are the original KidArtLit boxes. They include a hardback picture book and two full art kits. One kit is a Ready-Set-Go that can be completed as soon as your box arrives, and the other in a multi-step process art kit.

Spark boxes joined the KidArtLIt family in the fall of 2018 as a ‘little sibling’ to our Deluxe offering. They include the same new-release book as the Deluxe deliveries, but they have one full kit instead of two. The Art Spark kits are similar to the Ready-Set-Go kits. Spark boxes also include a detailed guide for completing a themed multi-step process art project on your own, with a pantry-friendly supply list, illustrated instructions, and tips for success.

Beginning in November of 2018, all Deluxe and Spark memberships also include a free Digital membership!

Nope! Each of our boxes includes the supplies you will need to complete the art project two times, so they are perfect for siblings, play dates, and parent-child bonding time. They can also be customized to include supplies for up to eight kids. We love being able to serve large families, homeschooling co-ops, scout troops, kids art studios, and library programs!

Yes! KidArtLit deliveries are perfect for kids 3-8 years old.

The frequency of reading aloud in American homes drops significantly after age five, even though older kids report that they enjoy being read to and benefit greatly from the practice. (Scholastic’s “Kids & Family Reading Report”) And, if you still think picture books are just for little kids, think again. Picture books are great jumping off points for deep discussions and are works of art in themselves.

And, because KidArtLit projects are process-oriented in nature, all kids can approach them in their own unique way. There is no wrong way to enjoy the inspiration and materials we include for you.

Our deliveries include carefully selected titles that are either brand new releases or from boutique or international publishing houses. We choose books that are artful, meaningful, and have that special something your family will fall in love with. We hope you will be surprised and delighted by each new book, but if you do happen already own a title, contact us when you receive your monthly spoiler at help@kidartlit.com and let us know.

KidArtLit offers open-ended and process-based projects as companions to high-quality children’s literature. Unlike crafts or other activities in which there is one expected outcome or correct way to “do” the activity, KidArtLit projects are designed to let your family connect and to help you explore art mediums without expectation for outcomes or end products. Our projects include a variety of ways for children to explore concepts and materials and develop their own ideas.
