In our busy lives today, setting up playdates can often feel overwhelming for parents. With the demands of work, home duties, and finding fun activities to keep kids engaged, it can be challenging to create meaningful experiences for our children. That’s where the idea of a “Playdate in a Box” steps in, providing a fun and convenient answer for parents all around.
Playdate in a box is tailored for children aged three to nine. Each themed box includes a “secret scroll” that guides kids on a fun-filled imaginative journey, along with costumes, stickers, markers, and an activity that lets them personalize their playtime.
Right now, there are five boxes to choose from, with two more set to launch this year. The available options are: The Superpower Girl, The Superpower Boy, Pirate Adventure, Rockstar Diva, and Rockstar Dude. Coming in 2018 are Dinosaur Diggers and Ballerina Besties.
“Founder, Letitia Fox-Varshavsky, said that she was introduced to ‘playdates’ when her son was three-years-old. She said that she’d search store aisles for toys that were for two kiddos that didn’t focus on electronics — toys that were tech-free and encouraged creative play. She wasn’t finding what she was looking for, so she created her own!”
The Pirate Adventure Box, which is currently a top seller, is packed with fun items for kids, including color-your-own pirate bandanas, pirate daggers, a sliding telescope, eye patches, shiny gold coins, treasure maps, and foam swords.
The Rockstar Diva Playdate in a box features two fabulous rock star tutus, two rocker cuffs, two colorful hair extensions, two DIY rockstar microphones, a song sheet, 12 mini markers, and a variety of rockstar stickers, along with a secret scroll. The song sheets inspire your child to create their own original song, and who knows, they might just be the next Canadian Idol!
My daughter had a great deal of fun pretending to be a rockstar and she even got me into the fun as we did a little Barenaked Ladies duet- but ours was a parody about Pizza toppings.
The only downside I can mention about the kit is that the hair extension tends to slip out easily, and the markers included are not the best quality. However, the playdate in a box kits are incredibly enjoyable overall. I can definitely see the Rockstar Diva Playdate in a box kit being a big hit in our home!
To kick off your journey with Playdate in a Box, parents have the option to subscribe to a monthly plan or purchase a one-time box designed specifically for their child’s interests. Many of these services offer customization based on age or specific themes, making sure the activities are engaging for your little one.
