Learn about New Zealand with Womple Studios Subscription Box


Are you excited to learn about New Zealand with Womple Studios subscription box?

After learning about Thailand with Little Global Citizens, I can’t wait to try another travel subscription box for my kids.

We learned so much just from staying in the comfort of our home. Of course, it doesn’t beat the actual experience of traveling to these countries. But until we can travel again, let’s explore one country at a time.

What is a Womple?

A Womple is a yeti-like creature from Antarctica who has an unquenchable thirst for exploration and adventure. It came from the word “coddiwomple” (verb), meaning ‘to travel in a purposeful manner towards an unknown destination’.

They took a rest in Waitomo Glow Worm Caves. Finally, they were able to play and watch the All Blacks in the Rugby World Cup.

Womple Studios experience

My son was only 5 years old at the time I bought the WompleBox. They recommend 6-11 years old for their boxes. And I understand why.

Womple Studios subscription box is story-based learning.

When I bought the single box, I read that part but it didn’t really sink in in me what it truly meant. LOL. I was just so excited to introduce New Zealand to my son.

When I opened the box, it was full of reading materials. At 5 years old, my son had just started learning phonics, basic consonant-vowel-consonant words. Having this lots of reading materials means you would have to sit down with your kids to go through the contents.

Don’t get me wrong. There is nothing wrong with sitting down with your kids to do this. I was kinda looking for activities where they can do independently or with minimal supervision. So at least I can do other stuff simultaneously.

Now, my son just turned 6. And he is still looking for something more to ‘do’ or play with other than stickers and clay.

Final verdict: Womple Studios Womple Box Review

Nevertheless, I think IF I had bought this box next year, my son would have engaged more and assimilated the information more. The reading materials are very helpful. Even I learned a few things about New Zealand.

Moreover, as a ‘kid’ subscription box, I would have liked it to have more activities. Though the New Zealand box has stickers and a keychain, it only has 1 clay activity.

 

Lesson

Before you purchase a subscription box, read what’s inside the box. Look at the pictures. You know your child best. Decide if the contents of the box are within their level or something they can explore with minimum supervision.

 

**This is NOT sponsored. We bought this subscription box on our own accord using our own money. We are not affiliated with them nor do we know any people working for them. So rest assured, my opinion here is honest and only based on our experience.

  1. I have never heard of the word coddiwomple but I love and appreciate everything it stands for. It truly makes my heart so happy that they are so many tools out there to teach children about culture and the world around them. I lowkey want to invest in some of these for myself too because they look so interesting and I am sure I can learn a few things that I didn’t know before. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Glad these subscription boxes exist, it takes your child to a whole new level of learning, although you can read about New Zealand through the internet, this is still a different and one-of-a-kind experience for a child and I couldn’t agree more with the need for more activities. I hope they make another box but with more learning activities included.
