toucanBox

Learn more about the toucanBox journey and how we made a kids craft box that’s jam packed with educational fun that inspires quality time. “Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes and having fun.” Mary Lou Cook Think about your best memories as a child. What were you doing? Building a fort? Cooking with grandma? 30 years later, I still remember making a force meter out of rubber bands and paperclips with my dad one rainy Sunday. In 2012 I founded toucanBox, a kids craft subscription box with a simple objective; deliver quality time and educational fun, that gives kids lasting memories like my own. I assembled a team and we started sending out our craft boxes to kids up and down the country. In 2017 I spotted Adelle on Dragon’s Den pitching her business BKD. She had just gained investment from Peter Jones to launch her baking and craft subscription, Mini Baker’s Club. Adelle shared my vision of “less screen time, more quality time” and was immensely passionate about product and design. We joined forces in 2018. Since then we’ve grown our business, received numerous awards, donated over 10,000 toucanBoxes to disadvantaged children, and made our way through 4,787,124 googly eyes (no, really, we checked)! It was -and continues to be- hard work. But it’s hard work we love. This is our story, now start yours. Our mission is simple, “Unleash creativity one box at a time”! But we also have a couple of other guiding principles... Convenient toucanBox is delivered through your letterbox every month. All the materials you need are inside. Because hassle free is fun! Eco-conscious We want the children who enjoy toucanBox to grow up in a beautiful world. So we print with vegetable inks on FSC approved paper, package crafts in recyclable boxes and craft bags, plus cut plastic components wherever possible. Affordable Quality time is priceless so we’ll always make sure it’s affordable. We keep our subscription low-cost and high quality. Easy to pause and easy to cancel. We also offer prepaid plans with super savings. Compassionate We believe every child has the right to play. Our charitable donations and Care For Kids initiative help us in our mission to craft a more compassionate world.
