Set your child loose to explore! There’s no right way to use their box. Let curiosity lead the way!
“My child is super creative – they just
can’t get their ideas down on paper.”
“I know writing is vital to his success,
but his teacher barely focuses on it.”
“My daughter is always rushing her
writing. How do I teach her to take
the time to edit?”
“I think my kids could be great at
writing, I just don’t know how to
encourage them.”
My kids were complaining that that writing was boring and they didn’t want to do it. When I saw these boxes, it was exactly the change we needed to make writing fun again!
It works well for all six of my kids!

From my work with college students, I know how vital writing is. It is so comforting to offer my children a chance to build their writing skills outside of the school setting.
They are becoming writers.

The Writer’s Box has been and will always be a highlight in Noelle’s life. She absolutely LOVES to write. It’s not as easy to find writing ‘lessons’ as it is for ballet or ice skating. This is just as important to her! I’m so happy we found you!
NATALIE T.
Before the Writer’s Box, writing was a struggle, but this experience has motivated my daugher to see she is a writer. She now writes pages of stories at a time. I’m thankful for the Writer’s Box for helping her discover the joy of writing!

We absolutely love this! It’s been several weeks, and we are still finding ways to use the first pack! My kids have written several stories and are really enjoying themselves. Thank you again. I hope you continue to offer the PDF version. It is such a great idea!

The same box is sent to everyone and Is designed to work for emerging as well as advanced writers. We have seen it work for children as young as six and as old as thirteen. There is lots of room for creativity and interpretation.
It depends on your child’s age and skill level. The boxes are designed to be child-led. The instructions in the Writer’s Guide are written to the child, not the parent. But, especially with the first box, parent support can make a big difference. We will send you lots of support and insider tips!
Yes! We still offer a limited number of physical boxes for sale in our shop. We will be releasing two new physical boxes this 2023-2024 school year. These boxes will have a limited inventory and will also be available for in the printable version.
