    What age is this for?

    • Seasonal Crates: The preschool version is for children ages 3-5 but kids in kindergarten like this one too! While some of the skills included have already been met, it gives them a feeling of accomplishment because they can do the activities on their own! The school age version is geared more for elementary kids.
    • Unit Crates: Our unit crates are designed to for elementary kids, but for our younger learners, we have created additional resources in the collection such as a preschool digital download and sensory bin that pair perfectly with each! 
    • Mini Crates: Mini crates can be used for preschool or elementary aged kids. Each mini shows a list of what comes inside and a photo of the materials so you can decide which will be the best fit!
    • Busy Bins & Buckets: All kids love sensory play! These can be used for preschool or elementary kids.
    PLEASE BE ADVISED ALL OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN SMALL PIECES THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 3 YEARS. 

     

    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.
