What is in the box?

How does my kid benefit from the box?

Toka Box's STEAM and literacy themes range from reading and math to prehistory, science, engineering, and art. Each Toka Box subtly builds life skills from patience to problem-solving.

Toka Junior boxes for preschoolers are based on competencies suggested by the California Preschool Learning Foundations to prepare your child for school.

Toka Explorer boxes for grade schoolers are based on Common Core competencies.

Will my child be able to do the activities independently?

We recommend doing the activities in the Toka Junior preschooler box with a grown-up, thus creating a bonding and learning experience for your child. Some aspects of the Toka Explorer box for 5-8 yr olds can be done independently, though sometimes parental supervision and help will be needed.

Can I choose the books that come with the box?
