Looking for something to keep the kids entertained and learning over the summer break?
The Wizards and Wonders at Roots of Fantastical Matters subscription-style box could be just the thing.
Designed by teachers for kids aged between six and 12, the boxes encourage reading, creativity and cross-curricular learning.
Kids will get to learn how to care for a phoenix, take a broomstick riding theory test, and try time travel.
Even reluctant readers can be encouraged to discover the science behind enchanted lava, calculate the sizes of mythical creatures, engineer some dragon claw extenders, and much more.
These activities combine storytelling with interactive STREAM activities – science, technology, research, engineering, art and mathematics – hidden between the lines to inspire children to experiment, decipher, research, build, create and calculate ‘factual matters’ in the real world.
And for anyone worried about the environmental impact, the activities are made from easy-to-find, simple or recycled materials found at home, and the paper is recycled too.
Available in one, six or 12-month bundles, all the boxes will be delivered in one go to reduce the environmental impact.
The first instalment includes a large branded eco-friendly Keepsake Box with a magnetic seal and an A4 Parents’ Guide.
Every delivery includes a C4 personalised envelope containing:
- 1 x A4 Personalised cover page from the Trainee Archivist Tree Elf
- 3 x A4 Personalised STREAM-based double-sided chronicles from the magical archives
- 1 x A5 Double-sided International Search Report and voting instructions
- 1 x A3 Double-sided Newsletter
The single box option, which does not come with a keepsake box, costs £15, six boxes cost £78 and the full set of 12 boxes costs £120.
