Can I purchase just one unit crate?

  • Yes! All unit crates are available for individual purchase.

I have more than one child. Do I need to buy multiple crates?
Not necessarily. While each crate contains enough materials for one child, we offer two options for families with multiple children:

  • Add-On Kits: These include a second set of materials for select activities (typically 8) from the full seasonal crate. Ideal for families with children close in age who can share items like books and activity mats.
  • Sibling Crate Discount: Purchase a second full crate from the current season at 34% off. This option is great for families with children of different ages, as it provides each child with age-appropriate materials.
How do I decide between an Add-On Kit and a Sibling Crate?
  • Add-On Kit: Best for children close in age (e.g., 1st and 3rd grade) who can share items like books while participating in activities together.
  • Sibling Crate: Ideal for children with a wider age gap (e.g., preschool and 3rd grade) to ensure each child receives age-appropriate materials.
⚠️ Note: Add-On Kits and Sibling Crates must be purchased alongside a full-size seasonal crate.
