• FIRST OF ITS KIND: India’s first archaeological excavation simulation kit, the Harappan Archaeology Kit contains replicas of artefacts from the Harappan Civilisation recreated with the help of artisans and craftsmen using sustainable materials
• EXPERTISE: Designed and developed with the support and incubation at IIT-Kanpur. Built in collaboration with historians, artisans and archaeologists and created in consultation with artists
• EDUCATE & LEARN: The CultreBOX engages children to become archaeologists for a few hours. Each artefact in the CultreBOX is replicated with the help of craftsmen and through using traditional art forms. Players learn about various aspects of art, art techniques, and heritage as they dig into the past. Therefore, this CultreBOX attempts not just to educate, but to entertain
• DISCOVER & PLAY: Not only does the CultreBOX cater to knowledge, but it also helps develop cognitive skills like attention, working memory, concentration, and many others. The CultreBOX opens a world of infinite possibilities and triggers players’ imagination as an exercise in the development of their intellectual capacities
• DEVELOP COGNITIVE SKILLS: Give your children the tool for honing their cognitive skills like attention, working memory, concentration and many others right from the comforts of your home, and without any screen-time. A super-exciting playdate with the archaeological artefacts of the past
• RE-USE & AFTER-USE: The fun doesn’t stop after playing with the CultreBOX just once. The digging brick can be reused to create a fresh brick for new objects, and continue to pique the curiosity of children young and old! Extending the enjoyment beyond just digging, players can display artefacts and create objects for daily use (such as bracelets out of beads), encouraging both discovery and maker skills
• PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY OCCASION: Give your child the gift of CultreBox, which provides her with an interesting activity to engage in through its several discoverable artefacts, and at the same time, allows them a hands-on exposure to our ancient culture, only showcased so far at the various museums and in mundane history books
• Disclaimer: The replicas of artefacts have been provided for representational purposes and do not claim to be exact copies of antiquities. The box cover image is an artistic representation of the Harappan Civilisation and does not claim to be historically accurate
