History Kids Activity Box (Stuhr Museum)

What's in the box: Each themed box includes a custom photo puzzle of a historic image, paper-based activities like worksheets or games, and a hands-on project to build or create.

History Kids is a monthly activity box from the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer in Grand Island, Nebraska, a living history museum known for its 1890s Railroad Town. The current run is an introductory one. Families paid a single $90 fee for six boxes mailed May through October 2026, which works out to $15 a month. With October as the final month, this season is essentially wrapping up, and the site says a new subscription period will begin in January. Each box follows a theme and has three parts: a custom photo puzzle built around a historic image, paper activities such as worksheets or games, and a hands-on project to build or make. That is a modest but sensible mix, and the price is low for a themed kids box. The museum asks subscribers to fill out short surveys to shape future boxes, a sign the program is still finding its footing. The site does not state an age range, the specific monthly themes, or shipping costs and destinations, so parents should contact the museum for those details. The fixed six month term with upfront payment also offers less flexibility than month to month services. For families who want museum-backed, screen-free history activities and do not mind a newer, smaller program, it is a reasonable pick.
