General
What does a subscription include?
Every month a Build Box arrives with the most awesome build-it-yourself STEM toy kits and an exclusive video from Mark Rober! When shown the toys and videos, 9 out of 10 of our kid testers freaked out – the 10th was too busy playing with the toy to answer our survey!
Each Build Box is centered on a different engineering concept (or superpower), and features a toy that uses that superpower for kids to build, learn, and play with. Each box includes project components for the build-it-yourself toy, a booklet with picture-based instructions, STEM concept explanations, and activities and challenges that take the toy to the next level, and a gear badge that celebrates the engineering superpower they just learned about.
How often does a Build Box show up?
You will receive 1 box per month for as long as you are subscribed! We have DOZENS of toys lined up for years of engineering education and fun.
Can I choose the order in which different Build Boxes arrive?
Not right now. We put a lot of thought into the sequencing of Build Boxes to optimize learning and having an awesome good time. We carefully consider the types of projects and underlying mechanisms that help kids gain engineering superpowers through the Gear Badges. What we’re saying is, trust us, you’re gonna have a blast.
Will I get the same Build Box more than once?
No, each monthly Build Box is its own unique and special snowflake, and we won’t send the same box twice to a subscription. You are able to view the Build Boxes received on your account dashboard. If you have questions or concerns, helpful nerds are standing by at help@crunchlabs.com.
Plus, we have YEARS of toys lined up for you. It's a journey :)
Do you have more than one type of subscription box?
For now, we only have one line of Build Box subscriptions designed for children ages 8-12+. But we don’t know how to shut off our brains, so we’re always thinking about new ideas. We hope to offer more subscriptions and products in the future, so please visit our website and watch Mark Rober’s monthly videos for updates.
How soon after I place my order will my subscription start?
Once your order is placed we hustle to fulfill it in 1 to 3 business days. If you’re in the United States, your Build Box should be in little hands within 4 to 7 business days.
