Subscriptions for Homeschool Moms
Jim Hodges Audiobooks – Okay, this is not technically a physical subscription box, but it’s still so valuable to homeschool families that I wanted to include it in this post! When you want quality audiobooks for your homeschool at an affordable price, then Jim Hodges Audiobooks is the go-to source. Plus, his download a month club is a great value. You can hear Jim on episode 134 of the Homeschool with Moxie Podcast. His tagline is right on: “because mom can only read so much!”
Stitch Fix – I’ve been enjoying referral credits from Stitch Fix for years and you can too! Just sign up for a designer-curated clothing box set to your preferences, and you’ll get $25 in credit. That means you can send them all back for $0 cost, or keep $25 worth of the clothing that comes. Then, share your unique referral code with friends and see the credits roll in.
Your pre-teens or teens might also like a fix for their birthdays or other special event. It’s the best way I’ve found to shop for clothing as an introvert who really hates to go to the store. You can see some of my fixes on my YouTube channel. While this is not technically a subscription box for homeschoolers, even homeschool moms deserve to have cute clothes. Right?!

What if a Subscription Box for Homeschoolers is too pricey?
You might think that some of these subscription box ideas for homeschoolers are a bit too pricey for your family. Here are a few ways to look at it.
First, they could be gifts from grandparents. When your parents or in-laws are asking what gifts to give the kids for birthdays or holidays, if you see value in some of these subscription boxes, they’re a fun alternative to more physical toys. Plus, they’re educational too!
Second, if some of these subscriptions would double as homeschool curriculum or resources, then the price may be on-point. For example, the Art School box includes materials for several art projects plus access to video lessons. You might find that it is inexpensive compared to art lessons for multiple kids. Or, a Jim Hodges Audiobooks download a month club might be less than you were spending on audible!
Just some things to think about as you consider the best resources for your homeschool.
I am in love with Hola amigo box for Spanish language development. The price is just a bit higher than most but the products, the organization, and the ideas are worth every penny. I am not one to pay out for subscription boxes but this one surpasses most so I am willing to each month. Highlights magazine is great and Toucan Box. I am unsure if Toucan Box is still around but it was inexpensive and had fun crafts, an activity book and ideas all around a theme.
Nice! Thanks for adding more ideas here, Sarah. I agree that once you find a subscription that works for your family, it’s well worth the price. Love Highlights – in fact, it began in 1946 in the little town we live near 🙂 Such a staple of childhood for so many of us.
