Mysteries in Time History Subscription Box Sponsored Giveaway
Making learning fun isn’t an easy feat. Many of us have been tasked with home schooling or if we want to be more precise crisis schooling. The pressure has been on to cover work sent home from school and also add in some fun learning activities to keep children’s interest. This will continue well over the summer break as parents try to teach what was missed at the start of the school closures.
As parents will be well aware it’s not always easy to keep children engaged when we’re teaching at home. Children much prefer to play with toys, games consoles or chat with friends on the phone and create their own tik tok videos.
Before the schools closed one of my girls was being taught about Ancient Egypt. To assist I thought it might be interesting to watch a program on tv that I had seen advertised. Finding different ways to teach children can make learning far more interesting. Another way to do this is via a subscription box. There are different types available for children of various ages.
Mysteries in Time History Subscription Box
This is a monthly subscription box for children ages 7-11.
The time machines (boxes) are sent out on the 23rd of each month and cover other topics including The Vikings, Ancient Greece, Aztecs, Ancient Rome, Space and more.

What Craft Project Did We Discover?
Inside the bumper box we received was a fun project where my daughter was able to create her own Egyptian amulet. This was really good fun. The best thing was as she was careful not to press the colours into each other she could make different amulets.
What Did We Think?
My daughter loved the Mysteries in Time History Subscription Box and enjoyed reading the interesting facts, doing the activities and reading Max and Katie’s Egyptian Adventure. It was good to have something enjoyable for her to do whilst she was still unable to return to school. The fact that she found it fun means she’s bound to have learnt something which is an added bonus.
The craft project was my daughter’s favourite part of the box as she loves arts and crafts. She sat and modelled a range of Egyptian style items as well as hieroglyphics.

This looks like a fab idea. My daughter loves History & really enjoys learning with an interactive element. I think she’d love this x
I think she would too. It’s a really good idea and a great way to make learning fun.
I love this, such a great idea. A great resource to learn through play. My niece would like this.
It is a great way to promote learning and have fun at the same time.
This would be great for my nephew and niece. I would have loved this when I was young, I have always been interested in Ancient Egypt.
It’s one of those topics children find very interesting.
my granddaughter would love this, she loves History
That’s great to hear she has an interest in history already.
Sounds great and ideal for when kids are doing work at home – makes it fun too!
It is a great tool to use when you want to teach children at home or help them get a head start in history.
This would be very useful for my granddaughter.
I’m sure she would love it!
A great idea to keep my grandson off his Nintendo Switch
I totally agree. Anything that’ll help get them learning and off devices is good!
Wow what a great way of learning and having fun. My two just love being creative this looks great!
This is just the thing for them. It’s fun and educational.
My daughter would love these. Egypt would be her favourite. She’s obsessed with it at the moment!
It’s something a lot of kids find interesting. There is so much to discover.
Lovely idea for little ones
I agree. My daughter really enjoyed this.
One of my grandsons loves collecting and remembering facts whilst his younger brother enjoys practical activities so this would suit them both
This looks like a fab subscription – my son is history mad and this would be brill for him.
It sounds like this is something he would really enjoy doing.
Learnimg through fun – always the best – my great neice would be thrilled
these boxes sound like a really engaging and interesting way of getting kids excited about different periods of time in history.
They sure are. They have different arts projects each time in the bumper packs which is great too.
This looks like an amazing kit, do you plan on continuing with it for your daughter?
I’m thinking of it. Will let the boredom of the summer holidays kick in first. that shouldn’t take long having had the featured daughter home all through except for 1 day.
This looks a really fun way to learn, I am sure my grandchildren would enjoy this!
It is a great idea for a subscription. My daughter enjoyed this box.
what a lovely product, may provide children with some much needed structure after lockdown, without looking like you are forcing it!
That’s very true. Forcing children to learn isn’t a good idea. If it’s fun they are more willing to get involved.
This looks like a great combination of fun and learning and I’m sure I’d enjoy it along with her
It’s an activity you can do together which is nice.
What a great idea for a subscription box. I used to love learning about history and I think doing a craft associated with it really helps you remember. I still remember making a canopic jar from a jam jar when we were studying ancient Egypt in primary school!

This sounds like a really fun subscription box, educational too. I think my youngest would love the one about Ancient Rome. x
They do have a great selection and have found ways to make learning interesting.
Great prize! – thanks for the chance to win and your wonderful blog 🙂
This would make learning fun for my nephew! How missed out on schooling due to current situation.
It is a good way to help them learn after all the time the children have had off school.
This looks like a great subscription, I actually fancy having a go at the Egyptian modelling myself, never mind my son!
Hello, thank you for the chance to win, they look like a great idea, a way to make history fun.
I’m not sure who would like this more, me or the kids! We are all fascinated by history and all enjoy different eras so this would be great.
It sounds like this would be perfect for you and your child.
I love history and want my daughter to learn to love it. This would be a great way to help with this. She’d love the crafts in particular.
It is a good way to encourage them to learn and make it enjoyable too.
Really good idea to make learning fun
It sure is Cathryn. Learning can be fun!
