It’s the little things…
Small Brown Box Offers activities for birthday parties and other
celebrations, along with a travel specific collection to take in-flight.
The company designs and manufactures hands-on, play-based
activity boxes to inspire creativity and
curiosity in kids, while helping busy
parents and caregivers by proving all
the materials, ideas and instructions
in the box. Each box is developed
by educators and parents, reviewed
by child development experts and
tested by kids. Small Brown Box
currently offers nine boxes with themes
ranging from Jungle Safari to Magical
Kaleidoscope. The Party collection
boxes can be given out as gifts,
favours or used as activities, or they can even come and set up a
creativity station during the party. The Travel collection boxes are
designed for long journeys, including air travel. Boxes range from
HKD 75 to 149 and come with free shipping in HK.

love to help out, and there’s always another series
of MasterChef around the corner…
