When Does My Annual Bundle Begin?
Your Annual Crate Bundle begins with the current seasonal new release for your selected age group at the time of purchase. We introduce new Unit Study Crates four times each year:
-
Fall: September
-
Winter: December
-
Spring: March
-
Summer: June
Our new seasonal crates are typically available to preorder approximately 30 days before their scheduled shipping date.
- If you purchase your Annual Bundle during the preorder period, your first crate will ship when that season's release begins shipping. If you purchase after the new release has started shipping, your first crate will be the current seasonal release and will ship according to our regular processing times.
- Your remaining three crates will be delivered as the next three seasonal releases become available.

What Themes Will I Receive Throughout the Year?
- Every Annual Crate Bundle includes four newly developed seasonal unit studies—not previously released themes selected from our existing catalog.
- All Knowledge Crates curriculum is developed in-house by our team. We carefully select themes, children's books, educational activities, and hands-on materials to create meaningful learning experiences.
Because each unit study is developed specifically for its seasonal release, we don't announce all four themes at the beginning of the year. Occasionally, a planned theme may change as we finalize the curriculum or discover that certain books or materials are no longer available.
This allows us to thoughtfully develop each new unit study without committing to a theme before it's ready.
Curious about upcoming releases? Feel free to email us! We're happy to share information about upcoming themes that have been confirmed.
Will I Receive a Crate I Already Own?
Our Annual Crate Bundle features our newest seasonal releases, so you won't receive older unit studies from our existing catalog as part of your bundle.
However, if you've recently purchased the current seasonal release separately, that same crate would normally be the first shipment of your Annual Bundle.
Already own the current seasonal release? We can help!
- Simply email us when purchasing your Annual Crate Bundle and let us know you've already purchased that season's crate. We can arrange for your bundle to begin with the following season instead.
- You'll still receive four new seasonal Unit Study Crates—your bundle will simply begin with the next release.
