Knowing that kids have a tendency to quickly become disinterested with the toys they play with, Spark Box Toys was set up as a rental service. Targeting young kids under the age of four, the service delivers a new batch of toys for kids every few weeks. These toys are carefully selected so that they are suited to a child's age and skill level, making sure that development happens as a byproduct of entertainment.
Since Spark Box Toys covers shipping both ways, parents will love that there's no clutter left behind in the home. Parents will also appreciate that a box will arrive with toys that have been deep cleaned, along with everything needed for play, including batteries or travel bags. To keep the assortment fresh, after a while, toys are removed from circulation and are donated to schools.
