The box makes the difference
“Eeny meeny meeny, it's rattling in the box” – The Matzbox offers incredible versatility when playing freely compared to conventional wooden blocks or building blocks. Each box has the potential to be more than just a building block. It becomes a secret hiding place, a robust container for treasures, or the foundation of impressive buildings. This versatility not only promotes creativity, but also spatial imagination and fine motor skills.

"I initially ordered the Matzbox for my primary school students. They were immediately excited.
First, they built what was suggested... and then they became more and more creative. ... Now we have two Matzboxes, one for children aged 3-6 years and one for students aged 6-12 years.
Everyone loves them!! Both the children and the facilitators!"

"The box is great! First the children tried out all the figures and structures on the instructions and then 'built them freely'. It is used every day, is very stimulating for the children and putting it away is also child's play."

As they get older, they discover more and more new ways of using it, which further promote their imagination and spatial awareness.
The Matzbox promotes your child's dexterity, imagination and concentration in a playful way. Compared to classic building blocks, the Matzbox boxes offer more diverse play options thanks to the different uses of a box. It not only supports creative play, but also spatial imagination and fine motor skills. It also integrates principles of Montessori, Froebel and Waldorf education and is praised by kindergartens, primary schools and parents for its versatility and quality.

An intuitive toy with added value! The children tested the Matzbox intensively and found it to be “super”.

Matzbox: Let’s get to the point again
The Matzbox is a multi award winning, sustainable and educationally valuable wooden toy that promotes children's development in many different ways. With its clever and compact box-in-box system and 36 large-format components made of light pinewood boxes and dark walnut, the FSC®-certified Matzbox offers countless play and learning opportunities. Anchored in the principles of Montessori, Froebel and Waldorf education, the Matzbox allows children to freely express their creativity. The handy building blocks promote dexterity, concentration and the development of fine motor skills. Even for children from one year of age, 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 to express 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 buildings and imaginative worlds. Whether it's a knight's castle, circus ring, farm, parking garage, shop or space station - the Matzbox offers unlimited fun! It's also nice that the large building volume can be puzzled back into the main box, which is just as much fun for the children as the building itself. In freien Spiels, the Matzbox can be seamlessly combined with other toys, which ensures limitless combination possibilities and long-lasting fun. An inspiring collection of building models helps the children to gather initial ideas to create their own, unique adventures. But the children also enjoy recreating the buildings of varying difficulty.
As an extremely robust toy, the Matzbox can be passed down through generations as a valuable toy full of memories. The Matzbox is also used as a valuable therapeutic tool in occupational therapy and speech therapy to promote sensory and cognitive skills as well as social interactions.
The simple and elegant design as well as the natural color contrasts of the woods used 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 offer.
The Matzbox also has a special history. Its founder, Christoph Matz, had a similar box as his favorite toy about 45 years ago, which he still has today. These beautiful 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 passes on the joy and creativity that he experienced in his childhood to the next generation.
With its numerous awards and the many positive feedback from parents, educators and therapists, this "old box" has hit the nerve of the times 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!
