Our Aims

Create Creators

We create boxes and events to encourage families to spend time off screens, creating and exploring together. We aim to give children (and adults alike) a chance to use this space to be resourceful and imaginative, enhancing the creative instinct we all have, to make something out of nothing.

Start Sustainable Thinking

By creating creative people, we are also establishing in them a mission for sustainability. We teach them the long-term importance and ease of reusing what others would see and discard. We also highlight different ways to approach consumption and production.

Connect Communities

We want to join people together, creating a community of creative people. Through monthly, themed face-to-face events we unite communities, introducing opportunities for fun education, parent-child interaction, and community connections.

Testimonials

“We’ve really loved receiving it. Floss loves getting creative but sometimes I feel like we repeat the same activities over and over and she loses interest, this helped us really get Inventive and try new things that we’d of never come up with ourselves! Our recycling waste has pretty much halved because floss won’t let me throw anything out without making something from it first! Floss talks about Fae (her letter writing unicorn) all of the time! it’s really lovely. Thanks so much 🦄 ❤️”

"The boxes are so fun, and the themes are so creative, interactive and allow children and young people to use their imagination whilst learning about different cultures or imaginative worlds. The children and young people I work with say the boxes are so much fun and gives them a chance to spend time with their parent/carers."

“The craft ideas are fab. Not something we would usually think of doing in free time but now our craft box is out for use daily. Really helped my son to engage more and want to craft and write. It’s really improved his concentration skills.”

"We bought the Vietnam and Caribbean boxes for my nephew and niece. As my family live far away, I was so happy to use these boxes to have a really meaningful play experience with my family, they provided so many activities, and we even did some recipes together. I'd highly recommend if you are looking for an activity box to do together with your children or family. Also, buying a box is supporting a really worthwhile charity, which is great!!"

Thank you so much for today - it meant a great deal for my three children to have that session and feel their heritage was celebrated x
