We’ve been a Citrus Lane subscriber for awhile. For $29/month, you will receive 4-5 full-size products that are specifically geared towards your child’s age and gender. Some subscription boxes you get a bunch of samples, but not Citrus Lane. We’ve received some really awesome things in boxes: A skip-hop lunch bag, green toys, and Barefoot Books. There’s months that have awesome boxes and months that are not so awesome.
Our January Box came today- a little later than normal because of the crazy winter weather everyone’s been having.
In this month’s box:
Fruit Set from Plan Toys
This set was made exclusively for Citrus Lane. The set is 3 different fruits with a knife to “chop” the fruit in half. The pieces are made from recycled rubberwood. When finished preparing the food, the fruit sticks right back together with velcro. We have another set of these, but veggies, that we got from a previous Citrus Lane box. We do like them, but they’re aged 18months+. Charlie will be 3 in April and he’s not overly impressed with these for very long.
A slightly larger set is on Amazon for $19.99
Zig Zag Zebra Coloring Book from Barefoot Books
This activity book is beautiful. Too nice actually for me to want to let Charlie color in it. There’s activities in here to help drawing skills, shape recognition, color combining, and reading.

It is $6.99 @ Barefoot Books
Duo Tip Washable Markers from Faber-Castell
These double-sided markers are made from food-grade vegetable dyes, so they’re easily washable. To rehydrate them, you can place the tip in water. The recommended age is 4+, but Charlie loves all things crafty, so they’ll be a good fit. And with as messy as Charlie is, washable is a big plus!
These are $4.99 on their website
There are 10 single-dose packets. Mommy’s Bliss is all-natural and free from gluten, dairy, soy and sugar. We’ve used their Gripe Water before and were pleased. I didn’t realize they made other products.
This is $9.99 on Amazon
I’m not overly impressed with this month’s box, but some people will be. The value of this box is definitely over the $29 that you pay for the box.

This looks like an amazing subscription box. There are so many out there now, but this looks like a really good one. I love all the stuff you got!!

Citrus lane boxes look like fun. I’ve never had the pleasure to order one, but with those food toys, I might have to. I like the double sidebar you have going. Now all you have to do is center your header!

I’ve wondered if this this something my kids would enjoy. they are older and have aged out of some much fun stuff already
Kenda says
We’ve tried other box services and yes, they were just small samples. I was so disappointed. This looks like something my 4 year old could really enjoy. A great way to mix a ‘toy treat’ with learning items and household items. Sounds like a win-win.

What a neat box service. Never heard of it before!
Christina Shirley says
exactly! The boxes did only go to age 3, but last year they expanded them up to age 5!
Christina Shirley says
If I knew how to do that… 🙁
Crystal says
I’ve heard of Citrus Lane but never used them before – that looks like a great box to receive! I’ve always heard good things about them!

That’s a nice box. I like the idea of a subscription full of relevant surprises for the kiddos!
Amy @ Marvelous Mommy says
So cool! I’ve heard about Citrus Lane before. My girls would love the play fruit.
Susanna Barbee says
Awww…I love stuff/toys/products like these. This looks like something I may check out. What age does it go up to? My kids are 2 and 5.
The Rebel Chick Jenn says
What a fun box to get in the mail! I used to use Faber Castell art supplies when I was into Art when I was younger.
Candy Olivares says
I am loving these new subscription boxes. I think my boys would love this box!
Paige T. says
One of my friends uses citrus lane. They love it!
Crystal P says
I’ve seen a lot of Citrus Lane around lately. Loved the peek inside your shipment! I’ll have to give this a try I think! -April
Cassie Tucker says
This is such a great subscription. I’ve been thinking about getting one for my niece and nephew. Still on the fence because they’re both picky about what they play with.
Katherine Bartlett says
My first box for Citrus lane was really great. I loved it
shellthings says
This is such a fun subscription box. I tend to go for the ones where I can actually select my products so I’m not disappointed.
SippyCupMom says
So many cool things! I really want to give this a try.
Stefani says
Sounds like a great service. I love surprises.
