The Smith family behind The Curated Hive and Curiosity Box

Our Story

Our vision is to help families access screen free fun that encourages self discovery, creativity, expression and togetherness!

Meet the family behind Canada's award-winning craft subscription box.

Our Founding Family

Jason and Michelle Smith, nestled in small town Ontario with their three kids and a few business ventures, added Curiosity Box to the family in the fall of 2017.

Jason and Michelle enjoy spending time outdoors, going on family vacations (which usually include a roller coaster or two!), and giving back, whether it be within their own community, province and county, or on an international level.

Jason and Michelle look forward to continuing working with the Curiosity Box community to bring fun and educational craft boxes to children from every corner of the world.

Where ideas come to life!

Our Roots

The concept behind Curiosity Box was born in 2014 out of necessity. Cassie Krygsman, a full-time working mother of two, struggled to find the time and energy to create crafts and activities that were engaging for her kids. After realizing that other working parents shared her struggles, Cassie created Curiosity Box to meet their needs.

During her launch of the business, Cassie successfully grew the company and won several awards and accolades. We are very grateful for the foundation that she built, and for her help during our transition to the new Curiosity Box team.

We wish Cassie all the best, as she now pursues her other goals and dreams!
