What age is this for?

  • Seasonal Crates: The preschool version is for children ages 3-5 but kids in kindergarten like this one too!

The school age version is geared more for elementary kids.

Are your products educational? They are and the kids won’t even realize it! Our seasonal and unit crates will include an activity guide aligned with learning goals to walk you through each activity we have planned. We’ve also included general learning standards in both the preschool and elementary crates so if you’re using this as a resource for your curriculum the color-coded buttons will help navigation which areas of learning each activity covers.

What learning topics are covered? All of them! Seasonal and mini crates include activities that cover Art, Math, Science, Literacy, Social Studies, Physical Development and Social & Emotional Development!

Can the materials be reused? Yes! Most of the activities are created in a way that they can be used multiple times.
