Meet the Box
Two children discovering Baba Box together

A small wooden box.
A whole screen-free world.

Listen. Imagine. Play.

The Baba Box is the only thing your child needs to access stories, songs, lullabies, mindfulness and world languages, without a screen, an algorithm, or a single ad. The platform behind it is what makes it remarkable.

The ecosystem

The Box is the entry point.
The platform is the world.

A single screen-free device that connects your family to three things that have, until now, lived in separate places: audio content, physical materials, and the books that bring it all to life.

🎧

Listen

Curated stories, songs, lullabies, mindfulness and world languages. New content every week from independent creators we trust.

📖

Read

Picture books, board books and bilingual editions of the same stories. Buy outright, rent monthly, or trade in as your child grows.

🤲

Make

Sensory kits, planting tools, art supplies, instruments. Each one paired to a specific piece of audio. Listening becomes doing.

The philosophy

Built differently. On purpose.

Three principles guide every choice we make about hardware, content and commerce. They're the reason Baba Box exists at all.

i.

Screen-free, on purpose

Every alternative on the market repackages addictive screen IP into audio. We refuse to. Our device has no screen, no notifications, no engagement metrics. Just sound, materials, and your child's imagination.

  • No screen, ever
  • No ads, no auto-play next
  • Wooden body, designed to last
  • Repairable, sustainable, calm
ii.

Creators, fairly paid

Up to 82% of every play and every purchase goes directly to the creator. Compare: Spotify keeps ~30%, Audible 50%+. We started Baba Box because the educators, storytellers and mindfulness practitioners who make extraordinary content deserved a home where their work is honoured.

  • Up to 82% to creator on every play
  • Independent, vetted, paid monthly
  • No algorithmic gatekeeping
  • Marketplace, not a black box
iii.

One ecosystem, not three apps

Audio, books and physical materials usually live in separate places: Spotify, Amazon, the toy shop. We bring them together around your child's experience. Listen to a story, then plant the seed. Read the book at bedtime. Trade the kit back when she outgrows it.

  • Audio + books + materials, in one home
  • Pre-order now · ships soon
  • Grows with your child, 18m–8yrs
  • Trade in when they're ready to move on
  • Independent makers, not mass market

Why we built it

"I want my daughter to grow up knowing that the most interesting things, stories, songs, the smell of soil, a song in another language, don't live behind a screen.
The Box is one of the ways I keep that promise."

— Paola Masperi, founder · mother · raising a bilingual family
