We received a dinosaur Creative Play Box, aimed at my 3-year-old son. Boy, oh boy, was he impressed!

This is one of their boxes, ready to be shipped.
Opening the box is an experience in itself
My kids already love our postie for all the online shopping he delivers to our door. Our Creative Play Box was bursting with promises of fun times ahead from the get go. Beautifully wrapped and ribbon-tied, this parcel was begging the toddler to claw right into it.
Upon unwrapping the box, we were presented with a clear tub, filled with goodies and paper bags, loaded with a stomping ground for our new dinosaur friends to explore.
I’ve never been so excited about rice
The 4 paper bags in our set revealed an abundance of coloured rice. We emptied them out, revealing browns and greens to form our very own Pangaea – fitting perfectly in our Creative Play Box!
A massive selection of toys
With over a dozen toys and props, this box boasts hours of play time. It has dinos in so many colours, shapes and sizes, the toddler was bouncing with excitement, anticipating the good times ahead. We’ve got trees, stones and stone pathways – everything to make the perfect world for our dinosaurs to roam and play.
A range of tools at the ready
To tame those curious minds all toddlers have, Creative Play Boxes hook them up with all the tools they’ll need to explore all the goodies in their set.
Our set had a magnifying glass, a rake and a dusting contraption every paleontologist needs to uncover and discover fossils.
We buried, dug up and re-buried our dinosaurs over and over. An incredibly fun way to spend an evening at home!
Educational resources to top it off
The set came with a handful of printouts, including a scene to prop up in the box during playtime. Other printouts were included to help foster learning through counting and colours, encouraging your child to count and identify colours within their Creative Play Box.
The Creative Play Box’s attention to detail speaks for itself. No stone was left unturned in finding the perfect formula to satisfy and engage those growing minds we love so much.
If you’re looking for the perfect gift for the next party you’re heading to, look no further – trust me!
