Sticker Quest!

How to Use Your Sticker Sheet

A Reward System Disguised as a Magical Quest

Every sticker sheet has 12 sticker slots - but only 4 activities each month… That’s on purpose.

Here’s how it works:

  • Complete an activity? Stick on a magical memory sticker.

  • Do something awesome at home? Add another!

  • Brushed teeth without drama? Helped tidy up? No trolley parkour? Yep, those count too.

Each chapter is just the start… the rest of the sticker sheet is your space to reward good behaviour, celebrate little wins, and build confidence through fun.

📱 Scan the QR code on the sheet to jump straight into that month’s chapter of Boxy’s Sticker Quest.

🕰️ Just subscribed and missed the start of the story? No problem! Every previous chapter remains available to read, so your child can join the adventure from the very beginning and catch up at their own pace.

🎁 One Sheet. One Chapter. Endless Possibilities.

  • Each month = 1 chapter of the story

  • Each chapter = 4 core activity stickers

  • Extra 8 stickers = Totally up to you!

You’re not just following Boxy’s adventure… you’re writing your own.

🧠 Why Stickers Work (The Science Bit)

Reward-based systems like this help children:

✅ Build positive routines
✅ Understand cause and effect
✅ Develop goal-focused behaviour
✅ Experience the joy of finishing what they start

It’s neuroscience. With glitter. And a talking box.

✨ The Quest Starts Here

Whether you’re after educational fun, meaningful play, or just a little help keeping the kids busy (without screens), The Busy Box has everything you need for creative, rewarding family time.

✅ Build confidence
✅ Celebrate progress
✅ Encourage curiosity
✅ And maybe… unlock a surprise reward at the end 👀

Boxy is cheering you on already…
