Play is an indispensable part of children's growth process and is the key to children's cognitive development. Tinkerer’s education experts and early years teachers have developed a series of game-based activity books and learning materials according to children’s developmental needs and abilities. Children are encouraged to express their creativity, decision-making skills, and independent thinking through games and activities.

Game-based activity books and learning materials to help children's early cognitive development.

Learning and Playing Projects

From fine-motor training to artistic handicrafts, the Wonder box provides children with high-quality materials, creative themes, and a multi-sensory experience. Through hands-on making and playing games, children are led to explore topics related to growth, empathy, and exploration of the natural sciences.

Music

Assemble and paint three wooden musical instruments: bird xylophone, crocodile castanets, and hedgehog handbells. When playing with the bird xylophone, children explore the pitch of the keys and use the sponges to paint a dotty composition, then play the songs. The hedgehog handbells and crocodile castanets cultivate the children's sense of rhythm. Read the English phonics storybook "Dancing Feet" and an activity book full of early years math, logical thinking games, science activities, and arts and crafts ideas.

Under the Sea

Assemble and make a hand-cranked fishing rod and felt sea creatures: turtle, fish and jellyfish. After creating the fishing rod use it in the fishing game to reel in the sea creatures one by one, this develops children's judgment of distance, length and hand-eye coordination. Then, use glittery foam and red felt scale stickers to make a fish bag to store the toys. This activity can encourage children's creativity and reinforce the good habit of storing and tidying away toys.

Native Americans

Foster children's empathy by exposing them to different cultures and customs from around the world. Follow the assembly template to make a simple wooden bows and safe paper and foam arrows. After completion, children can play an aiming archery game. Next, the children will complete a craft project by creating and designing a Native American headdress and quiver. During the process, they will practice basic fine motor movements such as fastening and threading. The children can freely design the pattern on the quiver to express their creativity.

What do customers say about their Wonder subscription?

My young son found his first Wonder box to be quite challenging but we can see his confidence and abilities improving every month and he can now complete most of the activities by himself after several boxes. The phonics reading books are very pretty and my son loves to read them. The greatest thing with Wonder boxes is that our son loves to show off his completed projects and we can really see how this is improving his confidence and attitude to problem solving.

As a parent I am very happy with our Wonder subscription. The activities are age appropriate and my kids have a lot of fun completing the tasks. I signed up expecting craft boxes with lots of DIY materials requiring significant adult intervention to complete projects. However, I find Wonder boxes to be well thought-out and although adult help is still required, all of the tasks have clearly been developed to be attempted by kids, encouraging them to learn new skills and engage new challenges.

My son is excited to see his Wonder box arrive every month. I appreciate the multi-sensory experience the different activities provide for children. My kids love reading and so they read their Wonder magazines over and over while the games and activities inside can occupy them while learning logical and mathematics skills. I think getting the Wonder subscription has been a hassle free way to give my kids quality activities and this is great for a working mum like myself.

I am a kindergarten teacher and mum of two kids (aged 3 and 7). I think Tinkerer’s methods and methodologies and a great match to modern teaching ideologies. In both my classes and at home, I try to encourage hands on experimentation and learning. My daughter is now in Primary School and their school has also begun to encourage STEAM learning with more hands-on content. Our Wonder subscription has been great for both the kids, my daughter would often help out her brother with some of the more difficult tasks and its great as a mother to see them working together to solve challenges and having fun.
