Quality & Safety

QUALITY & SAFETY

PlayBOXes are tiered by age and quality level (Basic, Plus, Premium) — the difference lies in the materials, and complexity of activities, from lightweight, paper-based process art materials to multi-sensory projects, wooden and metal models, and even robotic builds. From plastic to high end wooden toys. All materials are carefully selected for safety — featuring non-toxic paints, and age-appropriate tools. Each comes boxed and ready to play — with no prep and clear daily play ideas for children, parents and caregivers.

TIERS

  • Basic: A perfect choice for families seeking a balanced and affordable play experience. This tier features a variety of fun, age-appropriate toys and creative activities made primarily from durable, high-quality plastics and mixed materials.
  • Plus: Designed for families looking for added variety, creativity, and play value. The Plus tier includes everything in the Basic tier — with additional items, some upgraded materials and PlayPAX projects.
  • Premium: Our luxury-tier PlayBOX for families who value craftsmanship, quality, and a beautifully curated play environment. Premium boxes feature branded wooden, hand-crafted toys and high quality project  and modelling kits from exceptional makers. Each box also includes a wider variety of high quality creative and/or sensory projects (age dependent), educational materials, and refined gross motor equipment.
