Frequently Asked Questions..

What age are the cubbies suitable for?

Our cardboard cubbies are designed for kids from crawlers to early school age (8 months–8 years). Preschoolers (2–5) will enjoy immersive play with dress-ups, exploring story-based worlds, and engaging in creative role-play. Older kids (5–8) can enjoy educational features like tracing letters and numbers, learning phonics, and exploring space, storytelling, and imaginative scenarios, all while encouraging curiosity and creativity.

How sturdy are the cubbies?

Rest assured, our cubbies are built to last. Made with 10mm thick specialist cardboard, each panel is reinforced for extra strength. The hexagonal structural designs create a sturdy, stable structure, so kids can play safely without tipping worries. Compared to standard mailer boxes (1.2–4mm), our cubbies are robust and durable, designed for hours of active, imaginative play.
