Discovery Boxes are filled with a combination of books, toys, science experiments, learning challenges, guided explorations, and educational activities to help you deep-dive into discovery this summer through hands-on, minds-on learning right in your own living room, backyard, or porch! Your kids will be able to independently experiment, invent, and explore a different subject each month this summer through the lens of STEAM and History!
The activities in each box can be explored independently or together as a family. Activities are designed to help kids thoroughly explore a subject and can be completed in any order, but together create a cumulative learning experience.
Available Starting June 11th!

Sibling Kit Add-On
Sibling kits provide additional consumable materials (science experiment, maker activity, and workbooks) for an additional child to complete many of the activities in our Discovery Boxes. Our boxes are designed so that they can be experienced by one child or a family, but we understand that sometimes sharing is hard and everyone wants to get in on all the fun!
Sibling kits include extra materials to complete consumable activities such as experiments, maker activities, and crafts but does NOT double everything in the kit.
