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.
How does a subscription work?
Every month, you'll receive a box of educational toys. It contains all the materials and super-clear step-by-step instructions for children aged 5 to 9 to build their own toys. The themes are based on Technology & Science and are carefully curated to be both fun and educational.
Can we get double boxes?
At Zappie, we ensure you don't receive duplicate boxes. Our system keeps track of all the boxes you've received. It also recognizes new orders and links them to previous subscriptions or individual boxes. Every box you receive is stored with us. We also check store orders on the same account.
We have many different projects, so you can renew subscriptions without risk of recurrence.
If you have any further questions, please contact our customer service.
Can children build independently?
Good question! Our projects are designed to be just the right amount of challenging, like a good puzzle. Children learn by building, trying, and discovering.
Each box includes a step-by-step instruction booklet with clear illustrations. We thoroughly test our designs with children aged 5 to 9 and continue to refine them until building is smooth and enjoyable.
With a little perseverance and the instruction booklet, most children can build and play with their project all by themselves.
Do I need to buy any materials myself?
No, everything you need is included in the Zappiebox, even the batteries. So you don't have to go looking for screwdrivers or paint yourself.
For some of the additional games or challenges in the booklet, you may need additional materials (such as a pencil or scissors), but these are optional and not necessary for the building itself.
