1. The Wooden Box
Stumbling upon wooden boxes is always a thrilling experience because we never know what’s hiding inside.

As they had no idea what the purpose of those colorful slats were, they asked the Reddit community for help. It turned out the box was a Montessori toy designed to teach kids the colors and improve their matching skills as well as provide a fun and interactive learning experience.
