Not convinced yet? We’d tell you more about how super duper awesome our Investigate Boxes are, but we’d rather let our customers do the talking:
“Letterbox Lab is truly exceptional – my son absolutely loves it. We homeschool, and this is the best educational subscription box I’ve found. The experiments are so much fun, and there’s a definite progression through each month’s theme as you follow the experiments. This is a box that takes science education seriously and doesn’t condescend to, or underestimate children’s ability to understand scientific principles. My son has learned so much from Letterbox Lab – I couldn’t be happier!”
– Jo, mum of an Investigator
About the Investigate Box
What’s so good about it?
The Investigate Box is more than a science kit. It’s a science club that comes to you, sliding through your letterbox with everything you need to spend hours discovering the Universe with your little scientist. It’s the only science subscription box specifically designed to be a series. Each box follows the one before, so you know there’s always more to discover and the lab equipment you collect will be put to great use in your experiments.
How do subscriptions work?
Choose a pay-per-box subscription to set up monthly or bi-monthly payments. We send you a box each time you renew. Choose a pay-per-3-boxes subscription to pay upfront for three boxes. These subscriptions automatically renew once all three boxes have shipped.
All orders are shipped within 3 working days by Royal Mail 48, so you’ll get each box within five working days of payment.
We know that family life is busy and ever-changing, so our subscriptions are completely flexible. You can choose monthly or bi-monthly deliveries (or switch between them) and you can pause or cancel your subscription at any time. If you want to gift a set number of kits you can choose a pre-pay subscription.
What’s in the boxes?
Each box contains everything you need to perform 6-8 experiments, with most consumables being doubled up so you can do them twice (2 or 3 children can easily share a box), plus collectable lab equipment, a 24-page fully illustrated instruction booklet, pencil and badge.
We don’t like to be formulaic, so every box is different. You can see a full list of the boxes with the experiments inside here.
Playing with science can be as fun for you as it is for your little scientist if you get Letterbox Lab to do the work for you.

“I’m really really impressed. Literally everything is in the box, the gloves are child size, each experiment is in its own cute bag and the instructions are super clear and easy to follow with scope for kids to try their own ideas out and note down findings.”
– Vicky
“Was really impressed with the way everything is set out, each experiment in separate labelled bags, making it very easy to find what you need. Knowing you don’t have a dash to the supermarket to buy extra ingredients is fantastic too.”
– Sarah
“Letterbox Lab is a fantastic educational product. I Home educate my 10 yr old son and we receive a new investigate box every month. Everything you need is supplied in the box, so no need to rush out and buy extra ingredients. Both myself and my son look forward to our science sessions every week, in fact it’s the highlight of our week. Always arrives on time and it does what it says on the box ‘fits straight through your letterbox’ so no need to worry if we aren’t in on delivery day. This really is the best educational product I have bought my son. Thank you Letterbox Lab.”
– Tracey
“This is an excellent science kit and my 7 year old son absolutely loves it! It makes science so much fun as it is learning by doing, not just looking at 2D worksheets. As a parent it is easy to be confident when everything is in the box ready to go and there are easy child friendly explanations for all the experiments. Would highly recommend!”

About the Explore Box
What’s in the boxes?
Each box in the series of twelve is different – we don’t like to be formulaic!
What you can definitely expect from every box is enough materials to complete 3-4 science experiments, activities and projects. Each box generally fills an afternoon with science fun, but we package everything up neatly so you can dip in and out throughout the month if you prefer.
The boxes also include a 12-page fully illustrated instruction booklet (featuring lab assistants Meg and Pico) that makes every step perfectly clear. If that’s not enough, we’ve filmed every experiment for you to watch! Your little scientist will also get a pencil to record their findings and a special achievement sticker to wear.
You can see a full list of the boxes with the experiments inside here.
