Frequently Asked Questions

What age is Zappie suitable for?

The Zappie boxes are specially designed for children aged 5-9+. The activities and materials in each box are tailored to this age group to be both fun and educational.

What do children learn from Zappie?

Zappie lets children aged 5 to 9 explore, build, and learn with their minds and hands. Every month, they receive a surprise box full of clever projects related to science and technology. Think of building your own airplane shooter, experimenting with electricity, or discovering how gears work.

At Zappie, children don't learn from books, but by actually doing. They practice logical thinking, problem-solving, and fine motor skills. They make mistakes, try again, and experience what it's like to build something themselves. This builds self-confidence and encourages a growth mindset.

Zappie taps into children's natural curiosity. Each project is developed by experts and tested by children, ensuring it's perfectly suited to their developmental stage. This way, they learn about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math) in a fun and meaningful way.

Whether your child loves crafting or building, Zappie helps them develop talents, think creatively, and learn with enjoyment.

Do I need to buy anything myself?

No. The Zappiebox is designed so that everything you need is included. We even add batteries and other items for you. So you don't have to buy anything else. It's very convenient if you don't have much time to come up with an educational activity.

What is the delivery time?

We ship your Zappiebox within one business day. This means you'll receive your Zappiebox within two business days. For more information, please consult our shipping policy .

Can I try a single box before I start a subscription?

You can start with a monthly subscription that you can pause or cancel at any time. Prefer to order items individually? Besides our subscriptions, we also offer a rotating selection of individual boxes, such as seasonal projects, ready-made toys, and creative materials. You can easily shop them individually here.
