Timberdoodle Kindergarten Curriculum Kit Unboxing: An All-in-One Homeschool Box for the Early Years

There is something about opening a brand-new homeschool curriculum box that makes me ridiculously excited, but this Timberdoodle Kindergarten Curriculum Kit might be one of my favorite unboxings yet.

I kept pulling things out of the box thinking, Wait…there’s more?!

Math, science, geography, history, handwriting, art, puzzles, STEM, fine motor activities, logic games, books, school supplies — it is all here.

And after homeschooling for years, this kit genuinely makes me wish I had discovered Timberdoodle when my older kids were younger.

If you are just beginning your homeschool journey with a preschooler or kindergartener and the idea of figuring out which curriculum to buy for every subject feels overwhelming, this is exactly why an all-in-one homeschool curriculum kit can be so helpful.

Timberdoodle has already done so much of the planning for you.

Instead of piecing together math from one company, science from another, handwriting somewhere else and then trying to remember art, STEM, geography and educational games, you open one box and have an entire year of learning ready to go.

And what I especially love is that it does not feel like a box filled with nothing but worksheets.

There is so much hands-on learning included!

What Is Included in the Timberdoodle Kindergarten Curriculum Kit?

Our kit is the Timberdoodle Nonreligious Kindergarten Curriculum Kit, and it includes resources covering the major academic subjects along with STEM, critical thinking, art, fine motor development and hands-on enrichment.

The included Kindergarten Curriculum Handbook helps bring everything together and gives parents guidance for using the curriculum throughout the school year.

I will be sharing much more detailed reviews of many of these resources as we actually use them, so think of this post as your peek inside the box!

Math-U-See Primer

Math-U-See Primer introduces early math concepts using a combination of instruction and hands-on manipulatives.

The kit also includes the colorful Math-U-See Integer Block Kit, which allows younger learners to physically build and visualize numbers instead of only seeing them on a worksheet.

For little learners especially, I love having something they can actually touch and move while learning.

Spelling You See Listen and Write

The Listen and Write Student Workbook combines early spelling, letter formation, handwriting and sound recognition.

The pages are simple and approachable, which is exactly what I want during the early years when kids are still building confidence with writing.

Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting

The Getty-Dubay Italic Handwriting Series gives children structured handwriting practice while teaching a clean, natural writing style.

The pages provide plenty of guided letter formation without looking overwhelming.

Channie’s My First Pencil

Even the pencils were thoughtfully chosen!

Channie’s My First Pencil set includes shorter, thicker pencils designed for smaller hands and early handwriting practice.

It’s such a small detail, but those little details can make a huge difference when you’re teaching a young child to write.

Real Science-4-Kids

This may be one of the resources I am most excited to explore.

The Real Science-4-Kids Science Book 1 introduces children to actual science concepts including chemistry, atoms and molecules, biology, physics, geology and more.

The lessons are colorful, visual and written in a way that connects science to things children already encounter in everyday life.

I love that the science isn’t being watered down simply because they’re young.

Doctor Livingston Jr. Human Brain Puzzle

Science also becomes hands-on with the Doctor Livingston Jr. Human Brain Floor Puzzle.

This large puzzle lets children build and explore the human brain while working on visual-spatial skills and problem solving at the same time.

Story of the World

For history, the kit includes The Story of the World: History for the Classical Child, Volume 1: Ancient Times along with supporting materials.

Children begin exploring ancient civilizations and history through stories and activities rather than simply memorizing dates.

180 Days of Social Studies for Kindergarten

The 180 Days of Social Studies workbook introduces kindergarten-level civics, economics, geography and history through short daily lessons.

I especially like having this as an easy open-and-go option for days when we want something straightforward.

Skill Sharpeners Geography

Skill Sharpeners Geography Kindergarten gives younger children an introduction to maps, geography vocabulary and basic geography concepts through colorful activities.

Mudpuppy Map of the World Puzzle

And then geography becomes hands-on again with the Mudpuppy Map of the World Puzzle.

The colorful world map features animals, landmarks and other illustrations that make exploring different parts of the world much more interesting for younger kids.

Fischertechnik Junior Max

This one immediately caught my attention.

Fischertechnik Junior Max is a STEM construction set that allows kids to build different models while developing engineering, problem-solving and fine motor skills.

This is exactly the type of activity that makes homeschooling feel less like “school at home” and more like learning through exploration.

Language Builder Blocks

The Language Builder Blocks set combines colorful building blocks with activity cards to help children work on visual reasoning, attention and fine motor skills.

It’s another resource that feels like play while still building important foundational skills.

Little Red Riding Hood Deluxe

The Little Red Riding Hood Deluxe game from SmartGames is a logic puzzle where children build a path to Grandma’s house.

I love educational games like this because kids are practicing problem-solving without feeling like they’re completing another lesson.

Aquarellum Postcards

Art is definitely not forgotten in this curriculum.

The Aquarellum Postcards kit allows children to create colorful watercolor-style artwork using a really fun painting technique.

This one is going to be such a nice break between more academic subjects.

Faber-Castell Grip Colored EcoPencils

The kit also includes Faber-Castell Grip Colored EcoPencils, which will be used for art, coloring and activities throughout the year.

Mosaic Craft Kit

The Mosaic Craft Kit gives kids another creative, hands-on art experience and includes several mosaic projects.

Sticker & Draw Animals

Sticker & Draw Animals combines stickers and step-by-step drawing to help children create different animals.

This is a fun way to encourage creativity while also practicing visual observation and fine motor control.

Happy, Sad, Feeling Glad

Happy, Sad, Feeling Glad is a draw-and-discover activity book that lets children explore feelings and emotions through drawing.

I really appreciate seeing social-emotional learning included alongside the traditional academic subjects.

I Can Doodle Rhymes

I Can Doodle Rhymes combines drawing with early language skills and rhyming.

The pages invite children to finish pictures and interact with words rather than simply reading them.

My First 100 Words

My First 100 Words is a bright picture vocabulary book that introduces familiar objects and words from everyday life.

For kindergarteners who are building vocabulary and early reading skills, books like this are easy to incorporate throughout the day without making everything feel like a formal lesson.

Meori Mini Foldable Box

And yes, Timberdoodle even thought about storage.

The Meori Mini Foldable Box can hold pencils, markers and other homeschool supplies and folds flat when you’re not using it.

As someone who is always looking for ways to keep homeschool supplies from taking over the entire house, I appreciate this one.

Why I Love the Timberdoodle Kindergarten Kit for New Homeschool Families

What stands out most to me isn’t just how much comes inside this box.

It’s the variety.

A five-year-old shouldn’t have to sit at a table filling out worksheets for hours to have a successful homeschool day.

Young children learn through building, talking, drawing, moving, experimenting, puzzles, books, games and plenty of hands-on discovery.

And that is exactly what this kit feels designed around.

You still have the structure of a complete curriculum, but there are so many different ways for your child to interact with what they’re learning.

For a parent wondering:

Where do I even start with homeschooling kindergarten?

This is such an easy answer.

Start with a curriculum that already gives you the framework.

You can follow the Timberdoodle schedule closely, move things around, slow down, skip ahead or use the pieces in whatever way works best for your child and your family.

That’s one of the best parts of homeschooling in the first place.

Is the Timberdoodle Kindergarten Curriculum Kit Worth It?

Based on this unboxing alone, I am genuinely excited about this school year.

The kit covers the traditional kindergarten subjects while also including the pieces that can easily get forgotten when you’re building a curriculum yourself — art, STEM, puzzles, geography, critical thinking, fine motor activities and creative learning.

For a first-time homeschool parent, I think having everything arrive together can remove so much of the uncertainty surrounding where to begin.

And for experienced homeschool families, it’s incredibly convenient to have a thoughtfully curated collection instead of spending weeks researching every individual subject.

Honestly, opening this box made me wish I had known about Timberdoodle much sooner.

There are so many resources in here that I would have loved to use when my older kids were beginning their homeschool years.

And now I get to experience it from the beginning with a little learner.

I cannot wait.

Follow Along With Our Kindergarten Homeschool Year

This is only the unboxing!

As we work through the Timberdoodle Kindergarten Curriculum Kit this year, I’ll be sharing individual reviews of the curriculum, games, books and hands-on resources you see here.

I’ll also update this post with links to those reviews so you can take a closer look at the individual products before deciding what might work for your own homeschool.

If you’ve been considering homeschooling kindergarten but aren’t sure how to put together an entire year of curriculum, the Timberdoodle Kindergarten Curriculum Kit is absolutely one I would put on your list to explore.

Having math, science, language arts, history, geography, STEM, art and enrichment all arrive in one thoughtfully curated box makes getting started feel a whole lot less intimidating — and a whole lot more exciting.
