Physics has historically been a goal and as a media to reach out for other educational skills. Unfortunately, in Mexico preschool teachers lack tools to develop science in their little students. To help in this situation, we propose the use of “Einstein Box,” a set of toys where the kids can select and play with, then teachers explain the general physics concepts involved in the working of the toys. The results for the kids are amazing because they not only learn about basic physics, furthermore, mathematical thinking, social skills and verbal abilities, all around physics concepts.
