Not a box like you are looking for, but maybe Outschool classes if it’s a consistent time of day/week that you need her entertained. Alternatively, we’ve gotten some quiet time from just a sketch pad and pencils/crayons.

I really don't like kiwi boxes, requires lots of my help and she gets bored of the things she creates very quickly, leaving lots of unused stuff in my house that quickly becomes trash. We won't be renewing

Same, but they require parental assistance.

PP. Good points, and I'm sorry for the holier than thou tone. Not intended at all.

What about an environmentally friendlier option: go to public library on weekend. Have kid pick out a bundle of books. Spend a few mins going through them yourself - you could use sticky notes to pick, say, three animals that she can then draw and color herself. Leave out art supplies.


That is not what OP asked. Chuckling at the holier than thou "environmentally friendly" response. Come on. You think OP doesn't know about the existence of the public library? Also, we're still in the middle of a pandemic. Maybe OP wants to limit her child's exposure risk.
