First Look At The Environment Activity Box By Upcycler’s Lab

What is the best way to keep children entertained? If you are thinking television- well, not quite. Outdoor play? Absolutely- but there are days of bad weather, pollution and we are forced to stay indoors. What then is the best way to keep the young minds entertained when at home? 

Activity boxes are the answer. From DIY crafts to learning about space and planets– there are a variety of activity boxes available in the Indian market and parents aren’t complaining. And in today’s times, how are we educating our kids about the need to save, protect and nurture our environment? Could we do it in a way that doesn’t involve long, boring talks and concepts that children don’t comprehend? Could it be done in a fun way? Yes! Upcyler’s Lab tells us how!

About Upcycler’s Lab:

Upcycler’s Lab- a project of The Upcycle Co, makes DIY activity boxes for kids aged 5- 7 years. These kits serve as educational tools to aid school learning through hands-on activities and project-based learning. Inspired by the Finnish Education System, the Upcycler’s Lab activity boxes are developed by a team of educational experts, teachers and parents. Amishi Parasrampuria, an upcycling enthusiast, is the force behind The Upcycle Co. and Upcycler’s Lab. 

Kidsstoppress did an exclusive unboxing of Upcycler’s Lab activity box (the environment-themed kit) and here is the video. 

The activity boxes:

Upcycler’s Lab has come up with 3 different activity boxes:

• The Environment Box (Buy here)
• The Environment Box Mini (Buy here)
• The Shapes & Patterns Box Mini (Buy here)

Each box contains 3-5 activities aimed at providing quality time for kids- that doesn’t include gadgets and screen time! Now, that’s definitely what a parent would wish for! What makes these activity boxes special is the fact that they teach concepts through projects made from waste and sustainable materials, driving home the concept of recycling and how our everyday waste could be put to better use and not just thrown away. 

This being India’s first Eco Activity Box, teaches kids in addition to keeping them engaged and encourages behaviour change and mindset shift regarding waste.

The boxes are priced at Rs 499 (for Mini) and Rs 899 for the Environment Box. You can place your orders here.

And recently, at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival, Upcyler’s Lab conducted a fun-filled interactive session to teach kids about waste management through play for kids aged 5-7 years. Here are some snapshots from the fun the kids had at the event.
