Cultured Owl is a new subscription box that exposes children to the world. Cultured Owl sent me the Spain box to review. Spain is the first box in the country series. Cultured Owl is for children 5-10 and each month, Cultured Owl sends a country kit filled with information, toys, and crafts. These kids are designed to bring the whole family together. Cultured Owl was developed by Sara Randrianasolo. She is an advocate for international education. While working in higher education, Sara developed programs to bridge the gap between American and international students. Being a bicultural and multilingual family gave Sara and her families opportunities to celebrate differences between people. Sara wanted to teach her children more about this, and developed Cultured Owl. I really was excited to see this box, because I think it is very important that children understand the world they live in and have an appreciation for other cultures. I love exposing my children to new places, but international travel is not feasible at this time. I like that there is a monthly kit that can bring different cultures to their home. Cultured Owl’s Vision “Cultured Owl desires to see children develop global citizenship skills.
