Each edition features on a seasonally connected theme, exploring either a natural process or a rich ecosystem.
Alongside this, children are encouraged to notice what’s unfolding around them, from local wildlife to seasonal changes they can witness firsthand. We also journey further afield to discover how nature looks, and behaves, in other parts of the world.
By weaving these threads together, children begin to see how species, seasons, and ecosystems are all connected, and feel part of the wider tapestry of life.

Can I give this as a gift?
Yes! Curiosity Club makes a thoughtful and memorable gift for curious children who love nature, science, and stories.
If you’d like to gift a subscription for a set time period (like 3, 6, or 12 months) without it renewing, just email me at care@arcanaliving.com and I’ll set it up for you.
To send a gift through the website, simply enter the recipient’s name and address at checkout. You can also add a message in the 'Is this a gift?' box in the cart. We’ll handwrite your note onto a keepsake card and tuck it into their first box...a beautiful way to begin their journey.
Do you have sibling discounts?
Learning is even more fun when shared. When you add two or more subscriptions to the same address, you’ll automatically receive 10% off your total at checkout, and this applies to all recurring fees too.
It’s a simple way to make sure siblings can explore together, and everyone feels part of the adventure.
The sibling discount applies to any combination of our subscriptions, whether that’s two Curiosity Club boxes, or one Club and one Crew.
Please note: this offer can’t be combined with other discount codes.
How does billing and delivery work?
When you sign up, you’re reserving your place for next month’s box. For example, join in October and you’ll receive the November box, shipped in the first week of the month.
We offer three subscription options:
- 3-month minimum
- 6-month minimum
- 12-month minimum
All plans are billed monthly and renew automatically. The difference lies in the minimum commitment — and the longer you stay, the more you save per box.
Your first payment is taken at checkout, and future payments are billed on the 15th of each month.
PRE-CHRISTMAS SIGNUPS: Families who join between 14th-19th December will receive the December box immediately, and be charged on 29th December for the January box, which will be delivered in the first week of January. They will then join the normal monthly routine.
You can pause your subscription for one month at any time via your account. Cancellations can be made any time after your chosen commitment has been fulfilled.
🌿 Your price is locked in
The price you pay when you sign up is guaranteed for the duration of your plan, even if prices increase later.
✉️ Shipping
- UK shipping is free and sent via Royal Mail Tracked.
- International shipping is available to the USA, Canada, and Australia for £12/month.

Can I pause or cancel my subscription?
Yes. We know life can be unpredictable, so we’ve made it easy to pause or cancel in line with the subscription you’ve chosen.
You can manage everything through your customer portal, including pausing your subscription for one month at a time, whenever you need to.
Here’s how cancellation works:
- 3-month plan – cancel anytime after your third box

Your subscription renews automatically each month and continues after your initial commitment, unless you cancel.
🛡️ Your rate is protected:
The price you signed up at will remain the same for the duration of your subscription. If you cancel and rejoin later, your new subscription will follow the current rates at the time of rejoining.
If you have any questions or would prefer to speak to a human, feel free to email me directly at care@arcanaliving.com. I’ll be happy to help.
What age group is Curiosity Club designed for?
Curiosity Club is thoughtfully created for children aged 7-12 years old, a stage full of questions, creativity, and growing confidence. We have a second subscription for 4-6 year olds called Curiosity Crew.
Each box is written and illustrated especially for this age group, combining story-led science, creative projects, and hands-on exploration they can enjoy independently.
That said, every child is different. Some younger or older children may also enjoy the experience, depending on their interests and reading level. We have some members as young as 6 years old and some adults who have joined just for themselves!
Activities are designed to be screen-free and mostly child-led, with occasional prompts where adult support is helpful, especially for cooking, craft tools, or outdoor experiments.
Please note that collectible pin badges and some other items may contain small parts or sharp elements. These are not suitable for children under 36 months and should be kept out of reach of young children and individuals who may have difficulty with small parts.

MEET RIA
I’m Ria, a mother of two (ages 6 and 10), a science communicator, and an illustrator.
Like many parents, I long for my children to grow up with curiosity, creativity, and confidence. But between school runs and daily life, I often found it hard to create the kinds of moments that truly nurture those qualities.
I was looking for something that would spark a love for nature, encourage care and wonder, and help my children value what they have, without adding to the overwhelm of one-use activities or short-lived kits.
Curiosity Club and Curiosity Crew grew from that wish. It’s the resource I couldn’t find: a simple, beautiful, and sustainable way to connect with my children, nurture their independent thinking, and explore the natural world together.
I hope it brings that same sense of connection, delight, and discovery to your family too.
