The Perfect Solution

If you’ve ever watched your child get completely lost in play, you know just how powerful hands-on learning can be. Our sensory play kits for kids are designed to engage their senses, spark curiosity, and build important skills—all while feeling like playtime. Whether it’s a sensory bin kit filled with themed materials or a preschool sensory bin designed to encourage early learning, these kits make it easy to bring sensory play into your home.

Everything Included

We’ve all been there—finding an amazing activity idea, only to realize you’re missing half the supplies. That’s why our Knowledge Crates sensory kits come with everything included—from sensory bases like kinetic sand and water beads to engaging tools and themed accessories. No running to the store, no last-minute scrambling—just open the box and let the fun begin!

Encouraging Creativity & Skill Development

Sensory play isn’t just fun—it’s one of the best ways for kids to learn! Scooping, pouring, pinching, and molding help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination, while imaginative play encourages problem-solving and storytelling. Whether your child is digging into the Dino Busy Bin, exploring outer space with the Space Busy Bin, or creating a forest scene in the Woodland Busy Bin, they’re strengthening skills while having a blast.

A Calming Way to Play & Learn

Sensory bins aren’t just great for learning—they can also help kids calm down, focus, and regulate emotions. The soothing textures and repetitive motions make them perfect for quiet time, helping kids transition between activities or wind down before bed. Our Social Emotional Sensory Bin is designed specifically to help children process emotions in a gentle, hands-on way.

Our first box--amazing!!!

We got our first Knowledge Crate today and just wow! This is how subscription boxes should be done! We ordered the preschool-early elementary level annual bundle. The spring box is bee-themed and very cute. It is very organized and filled with quality materials and curriculum items. The activity guide has every lesson numbered and broken down step by step. Everything is labeled appropriately with very nice packaging. We've already completed the first book with all the accompanying activities; our son loved it all! 10/10 would recommend and will be purchasing the next age level bundle!

Annual Crate Bundle

This has been our favorite crate so far! My 3 year old LOVED all of the activities in this crate. We have many different bees that we have created through this unit study. The diorama solidified his knowledge of the different stages of a bees life. He also loved the books that came with this crate. He loves reading "The Little Bee" everyday as well as "The Very Greedy Bee". It was a perfect crate for transitioning into Spring.

My kids and I have had such a great experience with Knowledge Crates that I gifted this crate to my nephew and he loved it! My sister told me that he was entertained for at least 2 hours when they first opened up the crate. She said the rainbow volcano activity alone kept him entertained for an hour and then he kept asking for more. I love knowing that there are so many more fun and engaging activities that await them in this create.

My daughter can spend at least 40 minutes to an hour in one sitting with this kit. Her younger brother joins her with the sensory rice that he got from his Bee Crate. We are going over the book together as she explores and plays with the sensory items that come in this crate. She has also added in the weather charms that came with her weather crate. The book has helped us with bringing up and discussing bullying so far and has been a great way to help her with opening up about her experiences with and around this issue. She loves the book and we are looking forward to keep reading it together and the conversations that come from it. She really loves all of the sensory options that come with this kit. I highly recommend it.

We love Knowledge Crates

Knowledge Crates is the best purchase I can make for my homeschool. As a busy mom of 4 it is really hard to be able to do the fun projects because I don’t have the time to gather all the supplies. Knowledge Crates makes learning so much more fun for the kids and for me as the teacher. It truly has been such a blessing!

Deep Sea

We love our Deep Sea Knowledge Crate! After taking a recent beach trip we used our knowledge crate books and activities to answer the questions that our kids came up with. We love the books and crafts. I love that we can reuse the materials to continue our love for all things ocean/deep sea!

Bees Preschool Knowledge Crate

We LOVE the bee unit! We have been loving the books and all the arts and crafts projects. My kiddos loved working on the bee house and beeswax candles. As always, everything we needed to complete the projects was found inside. These crates keep us busy for weeks. We can’t wait to get our next Knowledge Crate. Thank you!
