What's in the box? Each box contains 4-6 items chosen to encourage the development of important sensory motor skills and are calming/ therapeutic.
Everything ships in a huge purple box.
There is a two-sided information card in the box. The front side has a little welcome note, along with the company's social media handles.
The information card has a very detailed list of everything in the box, and what you can use each item for.
Dr Seuss Sticker There was a cute little Dr Seuss sticker in the box.
Lavender and Camomile Essential Oil Calming Dough $4.00 This soft dough had the word “Breathe” stamped in the dough. The dough is scented with chamomile and lavender, so it smells good while your child plays. The dough is non toxic, so you don't have to worry if your child eats some. The essential oils work to help calm anxiety and emotional stress.
Playable Art OSM, Kinetic Sculptural Toy $8.95 This is my favorite item in the box. It's a fidget that is so addictive. I found my self playing with this for a good solid 10 minutes. You pull from the inside, so basically it turns itself inside out over and over.
Melissa & Doug Scratch Art Sketch Pad $5.89 Kids used to make these in the 80's, but now you can buy them in handy books. Each page is black, but when scratched with the included stick, you can see a rainbow of colors. In addition to being relaxing, your child will work on fine/visual motor skills. There are also holographic pages inside, along with stencils.
The little stick fits fight inside the book, so there is a better chance your child won't lose it.
Lizard Toy $6.60 This may look like an ordinary lizard, but it's actually really fun to squeeze. The lizard is made of a stretchy material with tiny beads inside. This is the first item my 5 year old grabbed out of the box.
Liquid Layers Visual Stimulation Timer $6.95 This time has colorful bubbles that fall from one side to the next. You can use this as a nice calm down tool, so the child can manage their anger, anxiety, etc.
Fidgipod $9.99 This has a nonskid bottom, so it will stay put on a desk while you touch it. The pod has rubber spikes all over the top for you to rub your hand across. The fidgipod found that concentration went up 50% when used with their Desk Buddy chewable sensory ruler. Adult's concentration went up by the same percentage with just the use of this pod.
This is a side look at the fidgipod.
The bottom is made of a flat, non skid material.
Final Thought: This month's box had a total value of $45.71, which was more than the cost of the box. This is my 5 year old's favorite box. This box doesn't have to be for kids. I have had fun playing with all my 5 year old's toys. You can use the coupon welcome to save 10% on your subscription.
