Inside each kit you’ll find:
- themed book
- full-color learning guide

- some of the art/craft/sensory supplies needed to complete the 12+ activities and lessons in each theme.
Learning Tips
Learning Tips
We’ve divided the learning experiences into four sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause, and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit.
