Why Each Toy

The guide says what each toy builds, in plain words, so you know what to look for.

Ahead or Behind?

Ages are a guide, not a rule. If they've raced ahead, email us and we'll start you at a later chapter or the next year.

After Chapter 4

The subscription ends automatically. We will email to ask whether you would like the next year, and nothing is charged unless you confirm.

If you speak Arabic at home, you can add the bilingual Arabic line alongside their Chapters year. Both arrive together every 3 months, in the same box on the same day.
