About the Curriculum
Our new Play Time Crate STEAM Lab Curriculum is launching today - perfect for virtual charter schools and homeschooling! It is full of hands-on learning, colorful printables, parent guides, portfolio activities, and 18 premium projects with supplies included. Each week has a brand-new theme, so kids can explore, create, experiment, and learn in a way that actually feels fun.
This was made for real families who want meaningful learning without spending hours prepping, searching for supplies, or trying to make boring worksheets exciting. We did the work so you can just open the crate and play, create, explore, and learn together!
Samples and scope and sequence are in this dropbox link to view. Each we has the same theme regardless of the level to make teaching multiple age groups easy!
