How It Works

Teaching history lessons from a textbook? Whether you are a homeschool family, charter school parent or classroom teacher, students love learning history the Unboxed way! Make your curriculum come alive with exciting open-and-go history boxes.

The adventure begins when you order a single box, sign up for a subscription or purchase a complete curriculum!

For subscriptions, each month you will receive a new box exploring a different place in time, according to the era you selected. For single boxes or a complete curriculum, everything arrives at once for you to use when you are ready. Each box contains:

A coloring sheet
1-2 (very!) high-quality crafts
A sticker for your timeline
1-2 items of additional enrichment material
A full-color magazine with all the information you need for an engaging history lesson

No matter when you start your subscription, your boxes will arrive in chronological order.

Our American History subscription begins with the West African country of Mali
Our Ancient History subscription begins with the Stone Age Jomon people of Japan
Our Middle Ages subscription begins with the Anglo-Saxons of England

Each history box is available in two different versions, to keep the materials engaging for all ages!

Youth

Our Youth option gives educators and learners an opportunity to customize their learning. Younger students can explore the materials with the help of an educator, while teens can complete the projects mostly independently. The magazine begins with an overview of the topic written in simple, kid-friendly language that focuses on the big ideas. The difficulty of the text progresses with a time travel letter for older elementary students and historical content written at a middle-school reading level. Besides craft materials, recipes, a comic, coloring page, and souvenirs, our full-color magazine helps give educators the background they need to teach this history lesson in a box. Our Youth box is appropriate for elementary, middle, and early high school students.

Young Adult

Relax and become inspired with your own history fix as you try your hand at a wide variety of crafts, historic recipes, and history-based games. Bite-sized bits of history fit into your busy schedule and provide you with fun information you will want to share with your friends. This box is recommended for older high schoolers and adults. Content may include discussion of mature topics.
Recommendation: Not sure if the Young Adult box is right for your learner? It contains everything in the Youth box plus the Young Adult magazine. When you receive the box, review the magazine before sharing it with your learner.
