What’s inside the DeveloPLAY box?
Each box is filled with 5-8 tools and toys that have a sensory and/or motor developmental benefit. These toys are therapeutic and aid in self-regulation. Examples include fidget tools, small games, hand/finger strengthening toys, aromatherapy toys, putty/playdoh, tactile toys, and visually stimulating toys (e.g. light up toys). They are items I frequently use in occupational therapy sessions or recommend for the children I work with. Follow us on instagram @eat.play.love_ot to see sneak peeks of items in the current box, as well as what was inside previous boxes.
Who can benefit from the box?
The DeveloPLAY box is designed for children with sensory processing, mental health differences, and developmental delays in mind including those with Autism, ADHD, OCD, ODD, anxiety, social/emotional disorders, or motor delays, but ANY child can benefit! I recommend the box for kids ages 4-10 years, but this is just a general guideline as kids with differing needs or levels of independence may require more or less adult support or supervision with some of the items. Most of the items are beneficial and fun for all ages!
Our new Early Explorers Box is designed for children ages 12-36 months.
When can I expect to receive my box?
Boxes ship by the 10th of every month. Cutoff day to purchase a box is the last day of each month and your box will ship to you the following month. For example, if you placed your order between October 1-31 you will receive the November box as your first box after it ships before November 10th. If you placed your order after October 31st (in Nov), you would receive the December box as your first box after it ships by December 10th.
Our Early Explorers Box is quarterly and will ship by the 10th of March, June, September, and December.
How does billing work?
We are a monthly subscription, so unless you choose the “one time purchase” option, you will be billed every month. For your 1st purchase, you are billed immediately. For subsequent months, you are billed after you receive your box, on the 15th of each month. There is also a 3- or 6-month pre-pay option.
To access your subscription, update credit card info, add/edit/cancel/pause a subscription, check tracking info, or update your address, simply log into your account.
Can I cancel or receive a refund?
Yes. You can cancel anytime anytime by logging into your account or emailing eatplayloveot@gmail.com. In order to receive a refund, you must request one before the 11th of the month. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide refunds for boxes that have already shipped or if it is past the 11th of the month. To request a refund, please email eatplayloveot@gmail.com.
Is it worth the money each month?
Absolutely. Think of all the times you’re in Target or searching Amazon for new toys for your child. Sometimes, you’re not even searching and you end up spending money on items that end up in your cart. With the DeveloPLAY Box Subscription, you’re charged once per month and you receive a monthly box at your doorstep. Take the time and effort out of getting the best tools and toys for your child’s sensory and motor development and leave it up to the DeveloPLAY Box.
