    Bubba Approved!

    My nephew LOVES his Build Boxes. I got him a subscription for his 9th birthday and he's already following in the footsteps of his favorite YouTuber, Mark Rober.

    Best Toy Ever!

    My six year old son saw these boxes on YouTube and decided to buy his first box with his allowance. He was SO excited when it came in the mail and couldn’t wait for his dad to get off work (daddy is an engineer) to help him put this together. So he sat down and spent an hour putting the first kit together ALL ON HIS OWN while watching the tutorial! He cannot stop talking about it and thinks it’s the best thing ever. Very well put together box, the video is excellent at walking kids through the build, and even young kiddos can make it by themselves if they have a desire to build. Parents - get these boxes for your kids! These boxes create a passion, joy and pride in kids in what they can create on their own. Worth every penny!

    Love this! It's so great to see your son following in his father's footsteps. No spoilers, but we can guarantee that both of them will have tons of fun with the next box!

THINKING LIKE AN ENGINEER MEANS YOU’RE RESILIENT. IT’S GETTING BACK UP AFTER BEING KNOCKED DOWN AND APPROACHING THINGS DIFFERENTLY. THAT DETERMINATION HELPS KIDS TACKLE EVERYDAY CHALLENGES AND IT’S THE SAME DETERMINATION THAT PUTS ROVERS ON OTHER DANG PLANETS!

Frequently Asked Questions

Ok that’s two questions, but here goes. We design each toy to be a little bit challenging for kids 8-12+, in the same way a good puzzle is challenging. But ours comes with a step-by-step illustrated instruction booklet along with a video of Mark Rober walking kids through each step. We test with 8-12 year olds extensively and prototype for months to make sure each toy is a smooth and enjoyable build. With the help of the video, the instruction booklet, and a dash of tenacity, tons of kids are nailing it and successfully and independently building and playing with Build Box.

CrunchLabs Build Boxes are designed for kids ages 8-12+, but plenty of other kids and adults have enjoyed them too! We know some 30 year olds around here who can’t stop sneak attacking each other with disc launchers. We test every product with third-party testing agencies to ensure the products comply with US and EU safety standards for kids ages 8-years and older. Parents and guardians can gauge the appropriateness for their kids, but we have worked hard to ensure that they’re a blast for the intended age range.

Nope! We think we thought of everything! All the stuff you need to make the toy is included in the Build Box, even batteries. You will need an Internet connection and a kid-safe device to watch the Mark Rober video episode, but you don’t need the video episode to complete the build! In the booklet, we do offer ideas for additional games and challenges that may require other materials – but those are supplemental and not required for the main build and play.

BUT, sometimes in engineering, stuff goes wrong. If on the off chance there are parts missing, go to your account dashboard and visit the webpage for your Build Box. Fill out the form to request missing parts. If you have further questions contact help@crunchlabs.com.  

It depends! We try to make each build 30 to 60 minutes on average for an 8-12 year old. If your kid likes to take a lot of snack breaks , or there’s a pesky sibling, or they can’t stop laughing cause the dog fell off the couch, or they just need to clear their head by running around in circles, they can always come back later to finish.

Currently, we don’t offer an option to purchase individual Build Boxes (though that may come down the road). We have crafted MULTIPLE years of engineering fun and learning, so we think a subscription is the best.

Of course! We test every product with third-party testing agencies to ensure the products comply with US and EU safety standards for kids ages 8-years and older. The safety standards check to ensure the toy is safe and sturdy for its intended play and that unsafe chemicals haven’t been used in the toy production.
