Starboxes,
Value & Explorer Boxes
For those on a specific budget, we have produced Value
Boxes (£110) containing a
good selection of the more popular artefacts for each
subject. In some categories we offer Explorer
Boxes (£220) which have a
larger selection. Both boxes offer great value for money
& are ideal for teachers where time is at a premium.
For unbeatable value, our new Starboxes
are unique collections and well worth looking at. |

are now, without doubt, the only company in the UK offering
such a huge & diverse range of history, religious
and art-based artefacts specifically for use in the

of history artefacts which we are adding to week by

which are often special, sometimes amazing, sometimes
unique, but most importantly will stimulate your students
& impact your classroom. So far, over 8,000 schools
