Activity Cards Box in a child's hands
The large A6 card box, 12,6 x 12,6 x 3,8/7,2 cm. It is the square one: the A5 boxes are oblong and hold cards lying long, this holds a square stack, which is what most three part card sets actually are once they are cut. The two heights in the last measurement are the box itself, lower at the front than at the back, so the top card can be read and taken without lifting the stack out. Cards are not included and the other sizes are separate items.
