"My elementary school pupils were immediately enthusiastic. First they copied what was suggested and then they got more and more creative. Now we have two Matzboxes, one for the children aged 3-6 and one for the pupils aged 6-12. Everyone loves them! Children and companions too!"

Ein absolut großartiges Spielmaterial!
Nach 23 Jahren im Kindergarten hätte ich nicht gedacht, dass ein so einfaches – und gleichzeitig geniales – Material die Kinder von heute so fesseln kann.
Die Matzbox wurde mir regelrecht aus den Händen gerissen – Mädchen wie Jungen, durchgehend, ausdauernd, begeistert.
Ein echter Lichtblick, die Kinder wieder im echten Spiel zu erleben.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Die Matzbox ist nun seit zwei Monaten bei uns im Kindergarten. Gerade durch ihren kompakten Aufbau passt sie gut zu uns in den Waldkindergarten, da sie nicht viel Platz im Bauwagen beansprucht. Dafür ist die Vielfalt an kreativen Spielmöglichkeiten enorm. Die Kindernutzen sie eigenaktiv für variationsreiches und ausdauerndes Spiel und die Matzbox erfreut sich großer Beliebtheit innerhalb der Gruppe.

The Matzbox is a toy that grows with children's skills and talents. Children as young as 1 year old have great fun and building success when they stack the large-format building blocks. Older children integrate the box into their play adventures in a variety of ways and use it for creative building projects right up to the end of primary school. As they get older, they discover more and more new ways to use it, further developing their fantasy and spatial imagination.

Matzbox: Once again briefly to the point
The Matzbox is a multi-award-winning, sustainable and educationally valuable wooden toy that promotes children's development in a variety of ways. With its clever and compact box-in-box system and 36 large-format components made of light pine boxes and dark walnut wood, the FSC®-certified Matzbox offers countless play and learning opportunities. Anchored in the principles of Montessori, Fröbel and Waldorf education, the Matzbox allows children to express their creativity freely. The handy building blocks promote dexterity, concentration and the development of fine motor skills. For children as young as one year old, the large building blocks offer a safe way to develop motor skills and experience impressive building successes. Older children love to build more complex constructions and play scenarios and live out their creativity in new adventures every day.
What makes the Matzbox so special is its versatility. Because each of its numerous boxes can be more than just a simple building block: it serves as a secret hiding place, garage, room, treasure container or solid block for large structures and imaginative worlds. Whether it's a knight's castle, circus ring, farm, parking garage, store or space station - the Matzbox offers unlimited fun! Another great feature is that the large building volume can be compactly puzzled back into the main box, which is just as much fun for children as the building itself. During free play, the Matzbox can be seamlessly combined with other toys, ensuring unlimited combination possibilities and long-lasting playtime fun. An inspiring collection of building materials helps children to gather their first ideas for creating their own unique adventures. But children also have a lot of fun rebuilding the differently difficult structures.
As an extremely robust toy, the Matzbox can be passed on for generations as a valuable toy full of memories. The Matzbox is also used as a valuable therapeutic aid in occupational therapy and speech therapy to promote sensory and cognitive skills as well as social interaction.
The simple and elegant design and the natural color contrasts of the wood used also make the Matzbox a stylish eye-catcher. In addition, the untreated wood feels warm and lively and offers a sensory experience that plastic toys cannot provide.
The Matzbox also has a special history. Its founder, Christoph Matz, had a similar box as a favorite toy some 45 years ago, which he still owns today. These fond memories and the positive experiences he and his children had with the original box inspired him to revive this special toy. With the Matzbox, he is passing on the joy and creativity he experienced in his childhood to the next generations.
With its numerous awards and praise from parents, teachers and therapists, this "old box" has struck a chord and is the ideal toy for anyone looking for a sustainable, creative and educationally valuable toy. Discover the Matzbox and unleash your children's imagination and creativity!
