How They Grow

At SproutBox, every activity is more than just fun — it’s a stepping stone in your child’s development.

Our 7 Learning Pillars are grounded in leading research from early childhood development experts in the UK and USA. These pillars reflect the science-backed understanding that the early years (birth to age 5) are a time of rapid brain development — and that play-based learning is one of the most effective ways to support a child’s growth across multiple developmental domains.

We’ve drawn inspiration from:

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework – UK

The EYFS outlines key learning areas for children from birth to age 5 in England, emphasizing learning through play, exploration, and active engagement.

Montessori Education Principles

The Montessori approach highlights independence, hands-on learning, and development of the whole child through purposeful materials and activities.

The NAEYC Developmentally Appropriate Practice Guidelines – USA

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) promotes play-based, child-led learning that supports emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development.

Harvard Center on the Developing Child

Research here shows that the architecture of the brain is built through active engagement and responsive relationships in the early years.

Each activity in SproutBox is tagged with 1–2 of our SproutBox Learning Pillars — making it easy for parents and caregivers to see what children are learning and why it matters. Whether your child is pouring rice into a sensory tray or painting with a sponge, they’re growing skills in coordination, creativity, confidence, and more.

These seven pillars ensure your child’s play is not only engaging — but also meaningful, intentional, and evidence-based.

Why do I need a Starter Kit?

Your Starter Kit is included with your first delivery and contains high-quality, reusable tools like droppers, tweezers, playdough, and more. Instead of sending the same supplies over and over, we’ve designed our system to be eco-conscious and waste-reducing. By using one set of durable tools across multiple boxes, we cut down on plastic, packaging, and unnecessary extras. It’s a smarter, more sustainable way to play—and you only need one Starter Kit per household.

Can I buy just one box?

Yes! If you’re not ready to commit to a subscription, you can purchase a one-off box to try it out. You’ll also need to add a Starter Kit to your order (unless you already have one), as our activities are designed to work with a set of reusable tools.
