A Season Full of Senses is our Summer Song-inspired, summer-themed curriculum and craft box designed for children ages 3–6. Thoughtfully created to fit your family’s rhythm, the curriculum encourages both collaborative learning and independent exploration.

Rooted in Reggio Emilia and Waldorf principles, this four-week, nature-based box invites your child to celebrate the magic of summer through hands-on activities, sensory play, and open-ended exploration. Each day includes thoughtfully designed prompts for phonics, math, practical life skills, and outdoor adventures. Our curriculum blends meaningful connection with independent learning.

We know you’re busy, so we’ve done the planning for you. This box includes all the materials you need for daily activities, along with a carefully curated Parent Guide to make it easy to lead your child’s learning with confidence. A small number of activities require materials that are not included in your box—these are typically nature-based items or pantry staples. While we value the importance of independent play, we also believe in those little moments of connection between you and your child, so we include materials for you to join in on select activities alongside them. From creating firefly lanterns to exploring summer colors through process art and sensory play, this box sparks imagination and builds foundational skills through play.

Reading is at the heart of this experience. You’ll receive a copy of Summer Song by Kevin Henkes, along with a weekly list of recommended books to enrich the learning journey.
