The box as a toy

Little Fable makes wooden animal sets. The team wanted the packaging to be part of the play rather than landfill.

Inside the lid

A printed farmyard scene inside the lid and base, so the open box becomes a stage for the animals. Water-based inks, tested for toy safety.

Survey says

In a follow-up survey of 612 customers, 70% said the box was still in use three months later.

What changed

Returns dropped, reviews mention the box, and the brand now designs every new set around its box first.

We asked parents what happened to the box. Seventy percent said their kids still play in it. That's the best marketing we've ever done.
