About the boxes

  • Who is Travel Outside the Box for?
    The boxes have been designed to appeal to children from age 5-9 and their families. As the whole experience is built around a family meal time, busy family members can come together, have fun preparing the meal together, discuss the country or culture, enjoy to the music and fact find or craft as a family for a fully immersive experience.
  • What are the benefits of learning about countries and cultures in an immersive way?
    Learning together in a fun and immersive way, using music and food, can help develop and enhance sensory awareness, encourage creativity and promote self-expression. Learning about different cultures can help children to grow and interact with a wide range of social groups and build confidence. Enjoying an immersive experience as a family is great for bonding and making memories.
  • What’s in each box?
    Each of our subscription boxes contain high quality props that will serve as a reminder of your family experience, for example, the Mexico themed box contains a maraca, a beautiful table runner and a wooden mask. All boxes also have a recipe, colouring sheets, fact pages, role model and a craft or activity.
  • Why choose a box rather than online resources?
    It’s more exciting for the children to receive something through the post, unwrap it together as a family and have visible, tactile objects to add to the experience. It also makes having a themed evening really simple for busy parents, as the resources are there in one place!
