Customer Questions (10)
Q: Is there a payment option where you can prepay up front? Thinking of this as a Christmas giftAsked by Ginger Y., August 2023
Thanks so much for your question! We offer prepaid subscriptions in 1, 3, 6, and 12-month options. If you’d like to order now instead of waiting until Christmas, you can place your order and then contact us immediately to notify us and we can delay the first box until December. We always ship on the 5th of each month for orders placed by the 4th. We do tend to sell out, so we recommend placing your order early. We always make plenty of inventory for our subscribers, so once you place your order, your box is guaranteed!
Q: These activities seem to be for older kids. Mine is 2 so I would like to cancel my subscription Thank youAsked by Rachel F., May 2023
Our products are for preschoolers in the general age range of 2-4. Some children are able to enjoy our products at even younger and older ages. We are sorry that the activities aren't a good fit for your child at this time, and will be happy to process a cancellation for you right away. We hope to have you back as a subscriber in the near future once they are ready!
Q: Are the activities focused on monthly holidays? If so, is it possible to swap these for a different box? (We don't celebrate certain holidays.) Asked by Liane W., January 2023
Our themes do not focus on holidays. We have highlighted seasons in the past, but never specific holidays. We announce our new theme every month on our Instagram and Facebook page and you can browse those posts to see many of our past themes.
Q: Can I switch from the big box to the mini box if we discover the big box is too much for my grandson?Asked by Tara H., November 2022
Hi Tara,
Yes absolutely. Please just contact us and we will be happy to modify your subscription type.

Thank you, Brooke, for your friendly and approachable deminer and for helping me solve my problem. This company clearly cares about satisfying its customers.
Big Box - Absolutely worth it!

Let me start with the two minor "complaints" I have, which is not the best word for it... Some of the activities are repetitive, box to box, and the materials are often on the small side, requiring extreme vigilance for caregivers.
Beyond that, we've received the big box for a full year, and it's been a HUGE hit. My child (started the subscription just before 2nd birthday) has asked to play with these boxes over and over again. She hasn't been able to complete many of the activities as they're intended, due to being above her development level, but she has improved on those as as we've returned to past boxes.
Some of the skills the activities cover:
+ Size sorting (small, med, lg)
+ Color sorting / matching
+ Counting basics
+ Letter basics
+ Sensory exploration
+ Subject topics: Seasons, super heroes, monsters, first responders, etc
We are renewing for next year, and hope the themes remain fresh. We're very grateful for the last year of boxes.
Well worth the purchase :)

As a grandma giving these amazing boxes on a regular basis I am THRILLED with Busy Boxes. We have had them coming for a few years now and our grandaughter gets SO excited. They also are used over and over because the materials are so well made. Definitely a great purchase.
Love!

My 2 1/2 year old boy LOVES the February box! This is our first shipment and the theme (First Responders) is a huge hit, he's obsessed with fire fighters. I really appreciate the simplicity of the activities. We can get these out anytime, no prep work, for a quick educational "game" to play. I'm excited to see future boxes!
Great for preschool age and younger

This subscription box was just what I was looking for I wish I would have bought a full year subscription for my 3 year old because he sure missed his boxes when they stopped coming :( The crafts were easy but fun and educational. We usually got all of them done in one sitting but I liked that they were fast and organized nice and neat. Some of the activities weren’t as engaging as the others and there weren’t as many crafts as my son or myself would have liked but overall we really enjoyed the boxes and I would definitely recommend them for 3-4 year olds. Unfortunately now that my son has started preschool I don’t think this box is right for us and I will have to find a different one
Great ideas for price but child doesn't

I thought they were cute 3 year old would rather play with Lovevery toys. I wanted some easy car vacation busy bag ideas I didn't have to assemble. These fit the bill but grandchild won't play with them at all? I keep trying we are on 3rd box and so far less than 5 minutes with a sensory box. I've thought all activities would be enjoyable for her. Well made cute but will not continue due to child's disinterest.
Customer service is a joke

Love this box! We had it for about 6 months and it’s a great, fun learning resource for our 2 year old. It was so fun knowing that we’d get great activities each month - It was a monthly present for her (and us). Some activities were a little on the “meh” side, but overall, they were great. Definitely worth the price!
10 stars! Order this box for your little

I wish I could leave 10 stars - for each category! We opened our box yesterday & he was asking for it within 10 minutes of being awake this morning! I only gave my 2.5 year old two of the activities to start with and he LOVED IT! He actually stayed engaged, learned new skills & facts & built confidence (he was so proud, lots of high-fives, lol). These activities are applicable for many ages & something we will use probably daily for years! Very thoughtful & purposeful - NOT just cheap craft supplies but really teaching him & preparing him for school. I love how each activity can be done time & time again, comes in it's own resealable clear package so we can easily select which one we want at the moment & doesn't take up too much space during the activity or while being stored. Customer service is above and beyond (response to email was less than five minutes, friendly, informative & personable). When ordering a past box it was shipped out immediately- 12 hours after I ordered it & arrived in no time. This might be the best thing I've ever bought for my child, I'm so grateful for all the effort and thoughtfulness the seller puts into each box, they really are helping me be the best Mom I can be.
