Letterbox Labs are a science<\/a> subscription box that fits through your letterbox. Perfect for those like us who are home educating<\/a>, those with children who want a little extra fun and learning, or just to encourage an extra love of science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subscription boxes are on the increase \u2013 they allow people to discover new products easily, save time, are flexible and convenient and make great gift ideas. I was approached by uOpen<\/a> the UK\u2019s only Subscription Box Market Place \u2013 who offer over 200 subscription boxes from over 150 merchants in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They offered me a review and affiliate relationship with them (previously I did a review of Little Cooks Co) \u2013 and this felt like it fitted in perfectly with the boys being home educated<\/a>. There are new boxes being added every week and they are broken down into 12 categories and 40 sub-categories. This allows you to discover new subscriptions, as well as managing all your boxes from one account. This means you can easily pause, switch and cancel subscriptions (as well as checking when they are due to be sent out). With exclusive members only offers and discounts. Plus there is a reward scheme where uOpen rewards can be redeemed against review boxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Letterbox<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The uOpen website\nis easy to navigate and it is really straightforward placing an order. Once you\nhave done this everything is in the hands of the actual subscription company in\nterms of the contents in the box and delivery \u2013 but you are told when to expect\nthem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Letterbox Lab Subscription Box<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Science<\/a> is all around us, and literally makes the world go round; some helps us progress and other stuff is just really interesting and fun. A love of science<\/a> is a great things to instil in children in my opinion, and by showing them how fun it can be is a fantastic way to do this. Letterbox Lab provides everything you need to achieve just this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"child<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Letterbox Lab Subscription box <\/a> is designed for budding scientists ages eight and over to have the opportunity to dip their hands into cool experiments, safely from the comfort of their own home. Plus with each box they can build up all the necessary nifty lab equipment needed to conduct many fun investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Impressions of the <\/strong><\/em>Letterbox Lab Subscription Box<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Letterbox Lab subscription boxes are designed to fit through the letterbox so no-one needs to be home to accept the delivery. The branding it nice and clear with the name in big letters in the middle with lots of science associated imagery around it using the brown of the cardboard and a purple print. I think it is a great colour which would appeal to both boys and girls and is very gender neutral. I believe this is really important that it doesn\u2019t give the message that the kit is for one or other of the sexes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Letterbox<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We received the Letterbox Lab investigation box and everything was really well organised in recyclable paper bags. The box was tightly packed, not having any waste packaging – and very environmentally friendly. The instruction booklet is brightly coloured (without being garish), with clear instructions and fun cartoon illustrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was in the<\/strong><\/em> Letterbox Lab Subscription Box<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Letterbox lab<\/a> subscription contained each of the things required for the investigations in different paper bags – so you knew exactly what you needed for each one. The only thing that needed adding was water – unless you moved onto furthering the investigations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"letterbox<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our\nkit included: safety glasses, petri dish, reagent bottles (x10), experimental\nbottle, chromatography paper, measuring cylinder, diffraction grating, safety\ngloves (x6), spoon (x2), pipette (x6), food colourants, sodium alginate, sodium\nchloride, sodium hydrogen carbonate, citric acid – and much, much more. I was\nimpressed that it contained things you may expect people to have around the\nhouse – such as felt tip pens, pencil and scissors – meaning that you can\nliterally pick up the box and do it wherever you fancy (we did it at our home\ned sports session).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each\nof the investigations are rated for messiness, explain what you will need from\nthe box (the general equipment) and what you will need from your bag; as well\nas a safety checklist, instructions and ideas of how to develop it further.\nThere are also videos on the website letterboxlab.com and you can share with\nthem on social media @letterboxlab<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Price and Value of the Letterbox\nLab Subscription Box<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a one-off box the Letterbox Lab investigation box is \u00a328. I think this is fantastic value for money considering how much is packed into the box (including reusable science equipment) and the fact that you have everything you need to play with science straight from the box – plus the online videos and suggestions to take the investigations further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"colours<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There were\neight completely different investigations in the box – which also then had a\nvariety of adaptations to them (I can\u2019t stand it when it is described as three\ninvestigations and it is just one with a variation on it). This makes each of\nthe different investigations less than \u00a34 each – and each as I say has more\nthan one thing (such as the incredible inks is first introduced with felt tip\npens and then candy coated chocolates) AND the reusable equipment is also in\nall this price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughts on the Letterbox\nLab Subscription Box<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Letterbox Lab Subscription Box is amazing value for money, very well organised and a great grab and go fun way to learn about science. I have to admit that there\u2019s so much to do that we still haven\u2019t got through it all! I think they are perfectly aimed at children ages eight and over and my ten and eleven year olds both really enjoyed it. It was easy to follow, implement and really got them thinking – including ways to adapt the investigations. The only problem we encountered was with some of the bottles – which were probably the only part of the box which weren\u2019t that green as not really necessary, other than to give it more of a \u201cscience\u201d feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"varying<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am not sure if the contents in the Letterbox Lab subscription follow alongside the national curriculum but they definitely had ideas that were related back to the world we live in. For me it is a perfect science subscription box for home educating<\/a>, as well as additional science<\/a> fun for those who are in school. A 12 month subscription is \u00a322.50 a box – making it even more value for money. Plus as children work their way through each box, their achievements are rewarded with a new \u201clevel up\u201d badge, as well as a certificate and gift in every third box. There\u2019s also the Letterbox Lab Explore box for children ages six plus from \u00a310 (based on a 12 month subscription, or \u00a311 as a one-off box).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

uOpen Discount Code<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that the uOpen site is an amazing idea \u2013 whether that\u2019s because you are looking for some fun with a Letterbox<\/a> Lab<\/a> Subscription box or even a gift idea subscription box. I am that convinced that you will love it that I am offering a 10%\u00a0uOpen discount code\u00a0off everything it is THANKS10 (for 10% off your total order value on uOpen).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
