With my memories of the wonderful experiences with the original Matzbox in my childhood, it gives me enormous joy to see that the Matzbox is used in so many different ways and is also so well received and appreciated in kindergartens."
Matzbox – Toy with History
60 years of gaming experience
45 years of Playing Experience
The Matzbox story begins in Christoph Matz's childhood, when a large wooden box full of building blocks inspired his imagination during many playful hours. Years later, his own children discovered the same box and built with the same enthusiasm as he did back then. The building kit had not only stood the test of time, but had also retained its magic.

played and how these stimulated their imagination and creativity,
Christoph realized that the Matzbox had a potential that in the modern, often
