Sparkbox review toddler11/19/2023 ![]() They send 4 new toys to you and your child can play with them all they want and when your done with them you send them back. They are a monthly subscription service that either sends you toys once every 4 weeks or 8… it’s your choice. So off we went on our Sparkbox Toys adventure. Well I decided that I am a blogger and they were offering to teach me a little about their service and it’s up to me to decide and let my readers know if it is a good deal or not. Would they be dirty? Parts missing? Slobbery and germy? I wasn’t to sure about getting toys in the mail that had already been played with by someone else. I was contacted by a company called Sparkbox Toys and was pretty intrigued with what they had to offer aaaannnddd a little skeptical. you just never know if that toy is going to be the one that you child plays with and loves. No matter how much research we put into a toy and how much time we take reading reviews…. You have been there haven’t you? Probably a million times. ![]() They play with it for 5 minutes and never ever pick it up again. Although this post is sponsored, all opinions are my own.I know you all have those moments… you are in a store and you see it! It’s the perfect toy and you just know your kids are going to love it! It’s the perfect color, texture, brand…… EVERYTHING! Your child has been asking for it for weeks and you saved and saved your money and now you finally have it! Then you take it home aaaaaannnnddd…. This borrow/return system is becoming quite popular in many aspects of life, so why not toys? I hope that you get a chance to check out their website and selection of toys at Enjoy! They were fun and different than the other toys in my arsenal. ![]() I thought it was cute, but knew my boys were a little more active for this toy. This tree is an intricate kind of stacker. This toy got the least amount of play in the house. The final toy in my box was the stacking tree. My little girl loved the colorful shakers and she and her brother (the 21 month old) shook them happily to music. They were, however, pretty straight forward. The infant shakers that I received didn’t come with an information packet. It was nice to see my kindergartener sit down with my toddler and work on letters together using the lettersauraus. My toddler was a little young for this toy and didn’t seem as interested in it. As you press the letters, the make sounds. This toy is basically a dinosaur with letters on its back. The next toy in my box was the lettersauraus. We had family concerts or just played the instruments to our favorite music. Everyone in my family, including my 5 month old, enjoyed this toy. Included in this toy were symbols, maracas, a triangle, a tambourine, and a few shakers. The instruments were worth the box alone. The Band in a Box was a huge hit with my little ones and my toddler (21 months old) pretty much walked around the house for a week saying “Instruments!” and my favorite, “Miss Racca” (also known as maracas). So, more importantly, did my kids like the toys? Absolutely! I was completely happy with how they reacted to the toys. I would never have thought other children played with them. Each of the toys I received was in pristine condition. To put your fears of dirty toys or unsanitary conditions to rest, SparkBox Toys puts their toys under an extensive cleaning process. This is because you are borrowing toys that have been played with by other children. Two of my toys were wrapped in a shrink-wrap. Each product card has developmental benefits, playtime ideas, product description, why love it, Spark fact, safety notes, and product details. ![]() Either way, you can be assured that with each of these toys, I received a laminated product card with all the information a parent could ask for. I won’t bore you with all the “factual” information, because ultimately if my kid doesn’t play with it, it doesn’t matter how developmentally beneficial it is. Each of these toys was specifically chosen for their developmental benefits. The appeal of getting “new” toys is certainly a smart idea. First let me tell, I am always super excited to get new toys, perhaps more so than the kids are. In my box, I received the set of 4 different toys: a lettersauraus, a stacking tree, some baby shakers and a band in a box. Each box has toys that are chosen based on your child’s age. There are a few plans you can choose from and with each plan you receive 4, specifically chosen toys. Let me break down the logistics of SparkBox Toys. The concept behind SparkBox Toys is similar to Netflix, only for toys. Let me tell you, at first I was a little skeptical. Last week I received my SparkBox full of fun toys for my two youngest children. ![]()
