What do customers say about their Wonder subscription?

I am a kindergarten teacher and mum of two kids (aged 3 and 7). I think Tinkerer’s methods are a great match to modern teaching ideologies. In both my classes and at home, I try to encourage hands-on experimentation and learning. My daughter is now in Primary School, where they’ve begun to encourage STEAM learning with more hands-on content. Our Wonder subscription has been great for both the kids, my daughter would often help her brother with some of the more difficult tasks. It’s great as a mother to see them working together to solve challenges and having fun.

My young son found his first Wonder Box to be quite challenging at first, but we can see his confidence and abilities improving every month, and he can now complete most of the activities by himself after several boxes. The phonics reading books are very pretty and my son loves to read them. The greatest thing about Wonder Boxes is that our son loves to show off his completed projects and we can really see how this is improving his confidence and attitude to problem solving.

As a parent I am very happy with our Wonder subscription. The activities are age appropriate and my kids have a lot of fun completing the tasks. I signed up expecting craft boxes with lots of DIY materials requiring significant adult intervention. However, I find Wonder boxes to be well thought-out and although adult help is still required, all of the tasks have clearly been developed to be attempted by kids, encouraging them to learn new skills and challenge themselves.

My son is excited to see his Wonder Box arrive each month. I appreciate the multi-sensory experience the different activities provide for children. My kids love reading, and so they read their Wonder magazines over and over, while the games and activities inside can occupy them while they’re learning logical and mathematics skills. I think getting the Wonder subscription has been a hassle-free way to give my kids quality activities and this is great for a working mum like myself.

Wonder FAQ Buying options Payment and delivery

What is a Wonder box?

The Wonder Box is specially designed for children aged 3-5 to align with their hands-on learning abilities. The box includes high-quality handmade materials and creative inspiration to encourage interactive exploration. Each box features interesting learning themes to improve fine motor skills, cultivate creativity, and spark imagination. Additionally, the box includes an English phonics picture book with Chinese translations and an activity book to help children develop reading comprehension, character, and thinking abilities.

What topics will my child explore through their Wonder Box?

Each Wonder Box explores a new topic with kids. Our boxes are packed with rich content to encourage learning and exploration, covering topics such as natural sciences, artistic creation, and logical deduction. In addition to the STEAM topics mentioned, we also include elements of early maths and language, multisensory experiences, hands-on creation and assembly, pretend play, and other interactive elements to help nurture children's creative confidence and gross and fine motor skills.

What is Tinkerer’s educational philosophy?

Tinkerer believes in “learn through play”. We believe that it is essential to keep children engaged and interested throughout their learning journey. We encourage children to explore various topics in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics through a range of boxes that guide them in an engaging manner through hands-on assembly, experimentation, games, and quizzes that encourage logical problem-solving. Each box is developed with age-appropriate curriculum topics and physical abilities in mind, with displayable results that enhance children's sense of achievement and confidence, fostering their willingness for further exploration.

What's the difference between Wonder Box and other preschool toys & crafts?

Wonder box

Covers a broad range of inclusive STEAM topics, allowing children to explore rich content through hands-on activities, interactive games, and pretend play, all designed to improve creativity, deduction, and communication skills.

Features high-quality, multi-sensory materials, with each box containing 2-3 creative projects, an activity book, and, in some cases, a phonics reading picture book.

Hassle-free monthly delivery to your doorstep, providing a convenient opportunity for quality family time while helping your child gain confidence, creativity, and knowledge in various STEAM topics.

Other products on the market

Lack diversity in content and hands-on experiences, with children playing without guided learning of the fundamentals behind STEAM toys.

Purchasing books, toys, and craft materials can be expensive and time-consuming, putting pressure on family budgets.

Unstructured and unscheduled content delivery does not allow for constructive planning of a child's learning and skill-building.
