The Summer Before School is Stressful — for Everyone
You want your child to be ready. You want them to love learning. But between keeping up with summer and preparing for school, finding the time and knowing what to actually do can feel impossible.
-
Your child is nervous about starting school and you don't know how to help them feel confident
-
You spend hours searching Pinterest for activities and still feel unsure if they're the right ones
-
You buy supplies with good intentions and then they sit unused because real life gets in the way
-
You're not sure if your child is actually learning the right skills for their age
The August box was built for exactly this moment — a month of purposeful, joyful activities that build the real skills and confidence your child needs, all planned and prepped by a teacher with 20+ years in the classroom.
Ready for School

The August theme is designed to make school feel exciting, familiar, and safe — so your child walks in on day one with a smile.

"I built this box because I've watched hundreds of children walk into classrooms anxious and unprepared — and I've watched that change completely when they're given the right experiences first. That's what this box does."
A Teacher At Home With You
Your Child Deserves More Than Worksheets From a Google Search
Every activity in the August box was designed by Kristen using the same research-based, play-centered principles she has used in early childhood classrooms for over 20 years. This isn't busy work. This is intentional, developmentally appropriate learning that meets your child exactly where they are.
Each box comes with a parent guide so you know exactly what your child is learning and why — so you feel like a confident, capable teacher, not someone just keeping a child occupied.
What Real Moms Are Saying
These Are Not Actors. These Are Your Neighbors.
"This box was a lifesaver! I've been struggling to find fun things to do with my son with a newborn baby that are educational. This box took the thinking away for me and allowed me to spend more time with my son while having fun and learning. My son has loved all the activities and they have helped him learn so much!"
"I just wanted to say that my son LOVES these activities!! I used to print out and do all these kinds of things with my daughter but the brain fatigue to plan all of these things is real — having this box is so helpful to just sit down and focus with him!! I love it so much!!"
"Boxes are super fun and come with everything you need with amazing instructions and love love love the videos that go with each activity!"
"I love your videos that went with the activities. It was a nice break in the afternoon so they could listen and learn and I could get a few things done while watching over them!"
Let's Answer Your Questions
We Know What You're Thinking
My child isn't ready for structured learning yet."
These activities meet your child exactly where they are. A 2-year-old and a 5-year-old can both benefit from the same box — the activities are designed to grow with them. There's no pressure, no wrong way to do it, and no grade at the end.
I already do Pinterest activities — why do I need this?"
Because the best activity in the world doesn't happen if you're too tired to plan it. This box removes the research, the supply runs, the cutting, and the prep. Everything is done. You just open it and sit down with your child.
What if we don't use everything in the box?"
Most families use 15–20 activities per box. But even if you only do 10 of them, that's 10 more intentional learning moments than you would have had otherwise — and your child will ask to do them again.
Is $47 really worth it?"
That's less than $2.50 per activity — for materials, planning, research, and a teacher-designed curriculum delivered to your door. Most parents spend more than that at the dollar store on supplies that never get used. This one actually gets used.
What if my child doesn't like it?"
In 20+ years of early childhood education, Miss Kristen has never met a child who didn't respond to hands-on, play-based learning when it's presented the right way. The activities are designed to feel like play — because they are.
Can I cancel if I change my mind?"
Yes, anytime. Month-to-month subscribers can cancel before their next billing date with no questions asked. You're never locked in, and you can pause, skip, or cancel directly from your account.
