What people are saying
“The Peas and Pod boxes are fantastic! Not only are all of the activities well thought out, engaging and creative; but they teach children all about the natural world. Sending out these boxes over lockdown to the children in our reception class really inspired them to get creative and to learn and enquire about the world around them. Parents loved the boxes and they helped to capture and motive children’s learning at home. The boxes are AMAZING – I cannot recommend them enough.”
"This is by far the best Montessori box we’ve tried"
Ellie Bury, mum of a 3 year old girl
"We love the interactive and sensory elements, with things to make and do rather than just lots of paper. My daughter gets so excited each time we open a new box and and we enjoy returning to it again and again to complete all the activities. The materials are sustainable and of high quality and I love the encouragement to get out into nature and gather extra elements. That nature focus helps our city dwelling daughter connect with the natural world."

"We love getting our Peas and Pod box every month!"
Rachel L, mum of two children aged 4 and 7
"I love that each month your boxes arrive full of a variety of educational activities that are lots of fun not just for my children but for me too! I'm always amazed at how much you manage to pack inside each box, and since we can keep on using many of the materials, I think it's also great value for money! My children are so excited each time one arrives in our letterbox, and can't wait to open them and get started"

"My boys find loads in there to spark their imagination”
- Eleanor H, mum of two boys aged 2 and 6
"We've really enjoyed our boxes, both my boys find loads in there to spark their imagination. The prepared activities are varied and well thought out, and being quite open ended they often lead on to further creativity. I also love the high-quality natural materials, many of which can be kept and used again and again. Thank you Peas and Pod!"
