Step by step

Every step,
explained.

We want you to feel completely confident before you order. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you choose a box to the moment your child opens it.

Step 01

Choose your child's
age band

We offer three age bands: 1–2 years, 2–4 years, and 4–6 years, each designed around developmental stages, not just birthdays. Read the descriptions, trust your instincts, and if you're unsure, WhatsApp us and we'll help you choose.

Step 05

They play.
You watch.

Hand the box over and watch what happens. Inside they'll find everything they need to dive straight in. The play guide gives you the context. Your child will do everything else entirely on their own terms.

The unboxing experience

The experience starts
before the first
toy comes out.

We believe the unboxing is part of the gift. That's why we put as much care into how the box arrives as we do into what's inside it. Every detail is intentional.

Soft tissue paper: because the unwrapping is half the magic.

A personal note, handwritten or printed, warm and genuine, from us to you.

A printed play guide: explaining why each toy was chosen and how to extend the play.

A little extra: a small surprise we add to every single box, just because.

Common questions

Everything you
might want to know

Can I choose what goes inside?

Not yet, and that's intentional. The curation is the product. We make the decisions so you don't have to. Every toy earns its place, so you can hand the box over with complete confidence.

What if my child doesn't like something?

Drop us a message. We're a small team and we genuinely want to know. Your feedback shapes every box we build. If something really isn't working, get in touch and we'll make it right.

Do you offer subscriptions?

Not yet. Subscriptions are coming. For now, start with one box and see how your child responds. We'd love for you to come back, but there's no pressure and no commitment.

How do I know which age band is right?

We base our bands on developmental stages, not just birthdays. If your child is particularly advanced or still loving an earlier stage, WhatsApp us and we'll point you in the right direction.

Are the toys safe?

Every item in every box meets South African safety standards. We assess each toy carefully before it goes anywhere near a box. Age-appropriate safety is non-negotiable for us.

Can I give a box as a gift?

Absolutely. It makes a beautiful, thoughtful gift for a baby shower, birthday, or any occasion. Simply enter the recipient's delivery address at checkout. We'll include a personal note if you'd like one.

What happens if my box is damaged in transit?

Get in touch with a photo and we'll sort it out as quickly as we can. Damaged deliveries are rare, but when they happen we take full responsibility. No lengthy processes.

How do I get in touch if I have a question?

WhatsApp is the fastest way to reach us for quick questions. For anything more detailed, email us at hello@mytoybox.co.za. We respond to everything, usually within a few hours on weekdays.
