KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 (Bernama) -- Sandbox & Co, a London-based group operating a network of learning businesses, announced it has acquired award-winning UK-based children’s subscription service, toucanBox, which will sit within its newest division, Sandbox Experiences.
Inspired by Montessori learning and championing STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and maths), the newly acquired toucanBox provides fun educational opportunities for children aged three to eight.
Through custom boxes posted through the letterbox, on a subscription or buy it now basis, it delivers craft materials and activities that help develop children’s key skills and support their cognitive and language development, fine motor skills and mental wellbeing.
“We have been big fans of toucanBox and feel it is a perfect complement to our existing range of hands-on educational tools,” said founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of Sandbox, Bhav Singh in a statement.
“Creativity-filled fun learning is at the heart of what we do and I can’t wait to start working together on new experiences that will keep our users delighted and entertained.”
Meanwhile, Founder and CEO of toucanBox, Virginie Charles-Dear said: “toucanBox is all about learning through hands-on, fun activities and we are excited to join forces with Sandbox to accelerate our growth and pursue our mission to unleash children’s creativity.”
toucanBox will be joining the company’s new division, Sandbox Experiences, that currently includes Brazilian children’s book club, Leiturinha.
Drawing on his expertise in growing Leiturinha into the largest kids book subscription service in Brazil, Sandbox Experiences’ lead, Guilherme Martins, will be focusing on rolling out new products across new markets, including in the USA and Europe.
Sandbox has seen rapid growth over the last five years, and its current portfolio now consists of 18 brands with a peak monthly audience of over 65 million kids, families, and teachers.
