i2i box
A curated makers kit that enables exploration, creativity, imagination, critical thinking and self expression for 6 to 10 year olds. The kit is envisioned to answer the need expressed clearly by different children across the above age group while meeting their various developmental milestones.
Simple visual instructions in the activity book ensure that all the 7 elements in the box can be pursued independently by the children to create infinite combinations for hours of fun.
Additionally children build interpersonal skills by engaging in specific activities that involve parents, siblings and others.
Upcycling, repurposing and frugal innovation are components built into the activities in an effort towards sustainability and accessibility to all.
This is a recently developed solution based on human centred design. The box has been co-created along with students of ages 7 to 13. So far since the introduction in Late June 2021, the i2i box has been used by 100+ kids. Currently, our box is being by 3 major organisations in India who work with children.
