As Mom's and Dad's i know your as worried as i am about Sanitation!! Just what precautions do they take when it comes to cleaning and safety....
- They take cleaning and safety very seriously!
- Every toy is rigorously examined, cleaned and sanitized to be sure the toys you receive are safe, clean and just like new!
- They’ve consulted with teachers, principals and doctors to develop a 5-step cleaning process that far surpasses EPA and school standards.
You spend a ton of money on toys your kid's play with for a few weeks, or if there like mine sometimes its just a few days....then they gets tossed in the toy box along with the rest of the "lost" toys. Your child will be getting a box of at least 4 new toys every month or so (depending on the plan you pick). What a great way to keep your kids from getting board!! It's also a great way to save money AND reduce clutter from tossed-aside toys. Even better is the fact that Spark Box curriculum is custom-designed by experts for every stage of a child’s development – starting at 6 months and up to 4 years. You know that the toys coming to your house are not only the best but totally developmentally appropriate for your child.
