FAQs
What is the Rooted in Writing Box?
The Rooted in Writing Box is a monthly writing kit for kids that turns early literacy and pre-writing into a joyful, hands-on adventure. Each box includes screen-free preschool activities, storytelling prompts, and beautiful materials designed to strengthen fine motor skills and spark creativity.
Our boxes help children explore letters, shapes, and stories through fun handwriting activities for kids that support early writing confidence and imaginative expression - without relying on screens or worksheets.
Who is the box designed for?
The Rooted in Writing Box is thoughtfully created for preschoolers and early learners ages 3–6, when curiosity and language are beginning to blossom.
However, older children - especially reluctant writers - often find success and joy through our creative, low-pressure approach to handwriting practice and storytelling.
Every child learns differently, and we believe parents know their children best. Feel free to adjust or simplify activities to match your child’s unique stage, pace, and interests.
Why is early writing so important?
Early literacy begins long before children write full words or sentences. Through playful pre-writing experiences - like tracing, drawing, storytelling, and fine motor skills practice - children build the coordination, focus, and confidence needed for writing later on.
The Rooted in Writing Box nurtures these early skills through screen-free activities that connect movement, imagination, and language development. Each month’s theme is designed to help children see writing as a natural extension of their creativity.
How does the subscription work?
First, decide if you’d like to purchase a one-time box or start a recurring subscription (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual).
Next, choose whether to add the Seedling Set (sibling add-on) for an additional $7 per box, so each child has their own set of key materials.

What is the Seedling Set?
The Seedling Set is a sibling add-on designed for families who want to share the experience. For an additional $7 per box, you’ll receive extra sets of key materials so multiple children can complete the fine motor skill and pre-writing activities together - without having to share.
If I purchase multiple boxes in advance, will I get them all at once?
No - even if you choose a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual subscription (or purchase multiple boxes in advance), you will still receive one box per month. This ensures your child has time to fully explore and enjoy each month’s activities before the next one arrives.
When will my box ship?
Boxes are shipped once a month, typically during the first week of the month. You’ll receive a tracking number via email once your box is on its way.
