Details

YOX Toys is a family-run business in Saint Paul, Minnesota, led by founder Jeff Freeland Nelson and his wife, Alisa Blackwood. Its history begins with the original YOXO company’s 2012 launch; YOX is its later revival. Inspired by Jeff’s childhood inventing, the family encourages children to turn simple materials into their own creations.

Box of YOX is a general-purpose construction set for children who like turning a handful of shapes into something unexpected. It includes 32 building links, supported by idea cards and two tubes. The supplier’s 50-piece wording counts the cards and tubes as well as the links; it does not mean 50 connecting links. The reclosable box provides a place to put the loose pieces between building sessions.

Features
  • 32 links in five shapes: Y, O, X, beam and chip.
  • 16 idea cards: four basics and 12 build prompts.
  • Two tubes: one short toilet-paper-size tube and one paper-towel-size tube.
  • Reclosable storage box; this is a mixed-component set rather than 50 connecting links.

Start with a card or invite the child to invent something without a plan. Ask what it is meant to do, help test it and encourage a new version if the first idea does not work. Sorting the five shapes makes it easier to find a useful connector and see how several small constructions could combine into a larger creation.

Specifications
  • Links: eight Y, four O, eight X, four beams and eight chips = 32.
  • Other included components: 16 idea cards and two tubes.
  • The 50-piece description comprises 32 links + 16 cards + two tubes, excluding the storage box.
  • Recommended audience: ages 4–10+. SKU: BOXOFYOX.
Materials

The connecting links are ABS plastic. YOX identifies Minnesota as their manufacturing location and Saint Paul as the place where its team assembles kits. That verifies link manufacturing and kit assembly; it does not independently document the origin of every accessory or packaging component.

The cards, tubes and storage box serve different purposes from the plastic connectors. Keep them together so a child can return to a design later. The supplier does not identify the source or manufacturing country of those included accessories individually.

Care

Keep the links, cards and any tubes together after play, and check pieces for damage before reuse. Follow the care directions supplied with the kit. The published information reviewed does not establish a dishwasher, sanitizer or high-temperature cleaning method, so no such cleaning claim is made.

Keep paper cards and cardboard tubes dry. Store loose parts where they will not be stepped on or lost, and separate damaged household materials from the play area. When adding your own boxes or tubes, choose clean materials appropriate for the child’s age and remove staples or sharp edges before use.

Shipping & returns

Shipping: For Box of YOX Building Set | 32 Links & 16 Idea Cards, the supplier publishes United States-only shipping and a direct-store ground-shipping offer on orders over $50. Its reviewed public policies do not specify an order-processing or dispatch estimate. Neither that retail offer nor a delivery deadline is promised for BuyAmerican checkout; confirm the applicable Collective shipping terms and use the shipping charge displayed at checkout.

Returns: The supplier’s published 30-day policy applies to Box of YOX from the date of receipt. An eligible return must be unused, complete, in original packaging and supported by proof of purchase.
