Lovevery fans, rejoice! Just when you thought your tot had outgrown this amazing toy subscription service, the brand—known for its best-selling activity mat, block set, and educational Play Kits for babies and toddlers—has launched four more play kits aimed at kiddos aged 2 to 3.

The new collection includes four new activity boxes: The Helper (25-27 months), The Enthusiast (28-30 months), The Investigator (31-33 months), and The Free Spirit (34-36 months). Each play kit, which is delivered right to your door every 3 months, is filled with a variety of engaging toys for your curious and ever-changing toddler, from pretty puzzles boards and stacking boulders for honing fine-motor skills, to cheerful felt flowers and a tea set for imaginative play, to a working sink, spray bottle, and squeegee for hours of squeaky-clean fun. Each expert-designed kit also comes with a detailed guide that explains why each toy, book, and object was selected, based on the latest in developmental research. The booklets include handy advice for the best way to play and engage with your toddler during their pivotable third year of life, taking the guess work out of when and how to introduce new concepts to your knowledge-hungry kiddo.

What’s more? All Lovevery products are made with non-toxic, premium materials—including sustainably harvested wood and organic cotton—which makes them safe for tots who still like to taste-test their toys during playtime.

To take these new play kits for a spin, we asked photographer and mother of three Hannah Suh to test them out with her incredibly adorable 2-year-old, Logan—and of course, 6-year-old twins Leo and Ella couldn’t help but get in on the fun! Even mom and dad eventually joined in. “As a whole family we all loved the stacking rock boulders. All 5 of us played with that one, and we’ve kept playing with it every day since we opened the box!” says Hannah. To take a closer look at what’s inside these expertly edited, eco-friendly play kits for bigger kids (and to spy on some adorable playtime with sibs Logan, Ella, and Leo), check out our slideshow below.

: What a treat! Four boxes of fun from Lovevery.

: Logan digs in to The Helper, for kids aged 25-27 months, which is designed to strengthen a toddler’s independence as they go about their daily activities.

: Ella lays out the Felt Flowers in a Row, while Logan gets right to solving the Double-Sided Sunny Day Puzzle.

: "All three kiddos really gravitated toward the Anywhere Art Kit. So simple, and they loved the tempura paint sticks," says Hannah Suh, mom to Logan, 25 months, and Leo and Ella, 6.

: Fun for the whole family!

: "The sink and dishes were the biggest hit in this box! Logan loved that he could turn the water on and off on his own and 'wash' his own dishes," says Hannah.

: Splish splash in the Super Sustainable Sink with Bio-Based Cups and Plates.

: Leo and Logan team up on the Drop and Match Dot Catcher.

: The Enthusiast, for toddlers aged 28-30 months, is designed to develop a toddler's practical life skills, through pattern and pretend play.

: "Logan really loved the tea set. Probably in part because his big sister put real juice in there and kept topping him off. They enjoyed setting up their own little picnic," says Hannah.

: The Sticky Shapes Glue Station serves up a low-mess introduction to glueing.

: "Leo was obsessed with the Squeaky Clean Squeegee Set. He ended up just carrying that spray bottle with him around for 2 days," says Hannah.

: The Every Which Weigh Scale and Pails is an early STEM lesson in balance and measurement.

: The Investigator, for toddlers 31-33 months, is designed to help kids explore early concepts in STEM and inquiry-based learning.

: Inside, there was something fun and engaging for everybody!

: Leo gets hammering on the Match and Tap Hammer Box and Pattern Cards.

: Leo, Ella, and Logan are all hopping, tossing, and jumping their way into gross motor development with the Jump-In Eco Hoops and Organic Cotton Bean Bags.

: "Logan’s favorite thing in this box was the memory game tiles. He is SO into memory games right now and these are perfect. Especially because it combines with the thing he loves most in his life, which is vehicles. He also really liked the hammer box and so did Leo and Ella," says Hannah.

: The Liquid Lab offers lessons in fluid dynamics. Plus, how fun is it to pour water from one container to another?

: Logan is realizing the Twist and Pivot Pattern Puzzle is harder than it looks—how DO the pieces come off?

: The Free Spirit box, for toddlers 34-36 months, helps to further develop a toddler’s creativity with imaginative play, while strengthening their executive functioning skills.
