I actually bought this for a use not intended. I'm a homeschool mom and saw the opportunity to use this as a reward system to motivate my younger kids to do their lessons and start helping out around the house. I never imagined it would work as well as it has! My kids now eagerly work on school and beg me for chores just so they can open a little mystery door. Magic Box! I'm so impressed.The downside is the size. The compartments are small. But I quickly realized writing non-physical rewards on slips of paper work great, avoids sugar, and keeps junky reward toys out of the house. I can get creative about what kind of rewards I put in there, and each day I check the rewards, swap out new options, and remove anything I am not willing to follow through on.Rewards I put inside include things like:• 15 minutes of screen time• 15 minutes of computer time• A quick board game with Mom• A quick card game with Mom• Go for a walk with Mom• 15 minutes of extra time with Mom after bedtime• Sleep in on a school day• Choose a dinner for next week's meal plan• Choose the movie on our next movie night• Choose the restaurant the next time we eat out• Indoor picnic• Build a fort• 20 minute activities such as painting, play dough, kinetic sand, etc.• A yummy drink• A packaged snack (usually for outings only)• A few M&Ms• A piece of gum• Any other small candies. Things that will fit include a Mini Snickers (Fun Size is too large), a reeses mini cup, a tootsie roll, etc.I felt it was a little pricey so I went hunting for a similar product, and was surprised to find that there is seriously nothing like it. Everything is see-through! I think much of the appeal for my kids is the anticipation of opening a mystery door, so not being able to see what is inside is key. The ONLY thing that I found even remotely similar was a bead organizer that was even smaller, or medication organizers... and I don't think I want to geach my kids to go looking into pill cases for rewards. Lol. This product may be a similar design but it is very clearly designed for kids and would never be mistaken or mixed up with a pill organizer. My point is, if you're wondering if it's worth the cost, yes it is, and if you're thinking of looking for another option, there probably isn't one.

This was one of the best travel items I got for our toddler that not only entertained but also fed her! Our toddler was so entertained with this game snack box. We used it for an international travel. We used it during the long flight, we used it on long travels in car or train. Our toddler was very well entertained until she got to know what's inside each spot, but still got entertained for a good amount of time. Friends and family were also amazed by it. A little tip for child's care taker: I tried to be creative and each time I filled the box with different items as much as possible. I also combined healthy and unhealthy snacks, in some spots healthy, some unhealthy. What you put in there depends on child's age, diet and preferences. The only watch out is to be careful with creating bad eating habits as this may cause kids to not eat properly when they snack and sort of getting into an unhealthy habit. So in order for our kid to get back to normal meal routines and eating properly, we completely put the box away after our travel and hide it and won't use it until next travel. On those days that you use the snack box, expect your child to not eat their meals like they used to as they may get full or uninterested. We had some challenges in the beginning but accepted and decided to be flexible during our travel and instead tried to put more healthy items that our child also likes to eat.Here are what snacks we put that could fit in the box and worked for us as well: Healthy snacks were Dates, Walnuts, Pistachios, sour, dried fruits like plums, apricot, mandarins, freeze dried strawberries, banana chips, (most Trader Joe's nuts and dried fruits in general) sesame rice crackers, Unhealthy snacks were M&Ms, gummy bears.

My toddler (almost 2) is in love with this “guess who†style snack box. He asks for it every time he’s in his stroller and it will be great to bring on his first plane ride. It took him a while to figure out how much strength it takes to push the buttons to open the compartments. Unfortunately he sometimes presses too hard when closing the lids so two have snapped off so far. I chock this up to poor toddler dexterity and not poor quality of product.The compartments are small and I haven’t figured out how to easily clean them yet (I was putting blueberries inside so the juices need scrubbing out; would be easier to clean if you only use crackers and the like).You can also use this for a memory game with pom poms or other small toys.

My almost 2 year-old wasn’t just a picky eater, he wouldn’t eat ANYTHING! He would take a bite or two, of his meal or snack, and then want to get up and play. I was worried he wasn’t eating enough for his growing body. This product has changed that!He doesn’t try to match the foods but he loves just pressing the button and popping open the boxes. He ate evening in the tray and then wanted to do it again! So he had seconds.My 7 year-old asked me if I could give her a snack in it. She actually played memory and ate the ones she matched. She loved it! I put 4 gummy bears in (kind of like bonus matches).I love this product overall, but it’s not easy to clean and the boxes are a little too small.I attached a photo of a snack I made for my 7 year-old (she ate/played 2 plates). The fried eggs are just fried wggg shaped gummies.

We used this on multiple looong flights with a 15 month old. They were not able to play the matching game but LOVED opening the doors to find a snack. I refilled this a ridiculous number of times on our trip and little one never grew bored. I will be taking this on many trips to come.

The product itself it almost impossible to keep clean, and quality is poor. This is a perfect example of you pay for what you get. I don’t see how you could use it for much more than a few reasons etc. The compartments are very small, and the latches hard for myself to even pop open. Performance wise 0/10. I’d say it is overpriced and can’t be used for much. Not versatile at all, do not recommend.

Really looking forward to using this as a teaching tool in lessons! I found that the "pop up" of the lids was limited and it was tricky to keep the lids up to reach or see what was inside each compartment, but found that a small tweak meant the lids would pop up and stay open until pressed closed again. You can carefully remove the green lids and pull out the silicone "spring", then flip it so that it bends upwards instead of downwards, (see photographs for a reference) replace the spring and the lid, and then the lids pop open and stay open beautifully.

This snack box is fab for hiding small sweets and getting kids to spend that little bit longer getting them out. My daughter and son both love it (2&5) and I think I would buy a second one so they don't have to share. The compartments are relatively small and it would be difficult to hide bigger healthier snacks in there. But works well for sweets no bigger than Mentos.

This is a cute travel idea but the compartments are quite small so only limited snacks will fit.
