  • Bayeux Tapestry Kit (Anglo-Saxons Unboxed)

    When French duke William the Conqueror invaded England and conquered Anglo-Saxon forces at the Battle of Hastings, it marked the end of Anglo-Saxon England.  The Bayeux Tapestry tells the story of the end of the Anglo-Saxon chapter and exists as possibly the last and absolutely the best known example of Anglo-Saxon artwork. Now you can embroider a replica section of this famous artifact!

  • Rune Jewelry Kit (Anglo-Saxons Unboxed)

    Some of the most beautiful artifacts found in Anglo-Saxon graves are jewelry, particularly colorful beads made of glass. Anglo-Saxon craftsmen knew how to add different materials to change the color of the glass, and how to wrap, twist, dot, fold, and otherwise manipulate the molten material into a huge variety of designs and patterns. Glass beads may have been a sign of wealth, prestige, ritual, or just enjoyed for their beauty. With this kit you can use beautiful glass and stone beads to craft a piece of jewelry while learning about the runic alphabet and writing your own message in ancient runes.

  • Bee House Kit (Charlemagne Unboxed)

    Domesticated animals have been a part of human history for thousands of years, particularly dogs.  Any child’s picture book of a farm will show cows, pigs, and sheep.  These animals absolutely played a role in Charlemagne’s world and throughout medieval Europe, but there were also some important and often overlooked animals in Europe during this time. With this kit learn about the forgotten livestock of the middle ages and make a bee house to attract one of them!

  • Rainbow Pendant Kit (Islamic Empire Unboxed)

    One of the biggest reasons that the Golden Age of Islam earned its name is because of the way that science flourished during this time period. One of the areas in which Arab scientists excelled was optics, or the study of light and vision. Now you can learn about the scientists who study rainbows, create a sun catcher pendant to hang in a window, and enjoy observing some yourself!

  • Icon Painting Kit (Byzantine Unboxed)

    Art history plays a particularly important role when studying the Byzantine Empire and icons and icon style pieces were a central part of Christian art. Now you can learn this style of portraiture in detail, from mixing your own paints, to sketching in the icon style, to painting and embellishing your finished piece in a multi day, art filled deep dive.

  • Shagai Kit (Mongols Unboxed)

    One of the most common materials used in Mongolian culture for games was bone, specifically the ankle bones of sheep or goats.  These bones were called shagai, and could be used for a variety of games, both indoor and outdoor. Now you can own a genuine sheep ankle bone from Mongolia and use it to play a traditional Mongolian game!

  • Wool Ball Kit (Mongols Unboxed)

    The Mongolians felted wool for a variety of purposes.  The felting process gives wool many characteristics that made it useful as clothing and shelter - it is warm, wind-proof, flame retardant, and extremely durable. Felting wool into balls also gave them light, durable pieces for games.

  • Pan Pipes (Vikings Unboxed)

    Vikings voyaged during the fair months of the year and returned home for the winter, hopefully well-supplied from successful raiding and trading.  For longer trips, they over-wintered for a single winter.  They didn’t just sail on the seas, they also traveled on rivers and sometimes carried their ships over land. In this kit you will find a set of panpipes, just like Viking sailors might have played for entertainment on their long sea voyages.

  • Drinking Horn Kit (Vikings Unboxed)

    The Vikings used drinking horns for special occasions and ceremonies. The inside was polished and the outside was often decorated with beautiful carvings. The drinking horn in your kit has been made specially for this purpose and is glazed with a food-safe polish. Now you can decorate the outside of your drinking horn and enjoy refreshment like a Viking while reading a story about Thor and Loki.

  • Origami Kit (Japan Unboxed)

    Origami is a more modern word that covers a variety of paper folding practices. One older common word was orikata, or folded shapes.  Samurai from the Heian period and onward exchanged gifts decorated with noshi, folded strips of white and red paper containing dried abalone or meat as a good luck token.  In Shinto weddings, gifts of wine bottles decorated with paper butterflies were given to the bride and groom as gifts. By the eighteenth century, origami was an important enough part of the culture that the first manual on origami was published. Now you can be part of this ancient art with your own origami kit.

  • Moveable Type Kit (Ming Unboxed)

    A revolutionary method of printing used in the Ming dynasty movable type. In this method, small blocks with characters were placed inside a frame to form the text.  Then, the sheet was laid on top of the inked blocks and rubbed by hand. Arranging the characters was a time-intensive process, but once the type was set, large numbers of copies could be made very quickly and efficiently. Now you can use a movable type set to print your own book!

  • Mayan Calendar Kit (Maya Unboxed)

    The calendar in this kit is a Mayan-style calendar that tracks time according to the Gregorian calendar. Although the Mayans did not invent this style of calendar, which was used throughout Mesoamerica for thousands of years, it was an important part of their culture. Some Mayan communities in Guatemala and Mexico still track time using this calendar today.

  • Money Cowrie Jewelry Kit (Benin Unboxed)

    In the middle ages, cowrie shells became one type of currency used all over West Africa, including the Benin kingdom.  They were valuable because they came from far away.  Because they were small, they were easy to use like coins. The Oba displayed his cowrie shells to show off his wealth.  Cowries remained a form of currency into the 18th century. Today cowrie shells remain an example of the resilience of African people and the richness of African history.  Now you can make a bracelet out of money cowrie shells, just like people would have in the kingdom of Benin!
