The NAME Box - Identity, self-expression & the stories only your child can tell

THE NAME BOX

Every child's name holds a story. The Name Box is where that story begins — and where your child's writing journey does, too.

Built around the award-winning picture book Alma and How She Got Her Name, this box celebrates identity, family & the power of storytelling through hands-on, play-based learning. Every material inside has been chosen to strengthen fine motor skills, build early writing confidence & make literacy feel joyful — right from the very first page.

• Zippered pencil pouch (for collecting tools from this & future boxes)
• 13-pocket writing portfolio (to store your child's work)
• Play-dough for fine motor strengthening
• 2 golf pencils — shorter grip makes pencil control easier for small hands
• Handwriting practice paper
• Highlighter for tracing activities
