A Walk Through Autumn is our Elsa Beskow–inspired, fall-themed curriculum and craft box designed for children ages 3–6. Thoughtfully created to flow with your family’s rhythm, the curriculum encourages both collaborative learning and independent discovery.
Rooted in Reggio Emilia and Waldorf principles, this four week, nature based box invites your child to experience the wonder of autumn through storytelling, hands on activities, sensory play, and seasonal exploration. Each day includes gentle prompts for phonics, math, practical life skills, and outdoor adventures, blending meaningful family connection with opportunities for independent play.
We know your days are full, so we’ve done the planning for you. Inside your box you’ll find everything you need for daily activities, along with a beautifully curated Parent Guide to help you lead with ease and confidence. A small number of activities may call for simple pantry staples or nature treasures gathered outdoors. While we believe in the value of independent play, we also treasure those moments of shared connection so we’ve included materials for you to join in a few of the activities alongside your child. From creating autumn crafts and nature inspired sensory bins to celebrating the season’s colors and sounds, this box encourages imagination and builds foundational skills through play.
At the heart of this experience is the joy of reading together. You’ll receive a copy of Woody, Hazel, and Little Pip by Elsa Beskow, paired with a weekly list of recommended books to enrich your child’s seasonal journey.
