2026 Tiny Tots Curriculum Kit

We asked parents who used our Tiny Tots Kit how long they spent using these tools with their child, and they estimated that they spent an average of 1-3 hours a day on their kit.

Absolutely. The Tiny Tots kit is specifically curated for short bursts of high-engagement play. Most activities can be completed in 5-15 minutes, fitting perfectly into a toddler's natural rhythm.

We prioritize safety and durability. Many items, like our Barefoot Baby-Proof Books, are chewable and waterproof. We always recommend adult supervision during play.

No! Our 2026 Tiny Tots Handbook + Scheduler is designed for simplicity. It tells you exactly what to do and when, so you can focus on enjoying the journey with your child.

Not sure if it’s time to move up? Totally normal!

A great place to start is with our Placement Tests. We have complete tests for younger kiddos to show exactly where they are. For older students, you’ll want to focus on the math and language arts sections to get a good feel for their readiness.

Kids are usually ready to jump into the next kit—with maybe a few exceptions. If your child is heading into 3rd grade but places into 2nd-grade math, no problem! You might want to grab the 3rd-grade kit and simply swap out the math.

If a subject didn’t stick last year, now’s your chance to figure out why.

• Maybe your child just missed a few concepts (hello, summer review!).
• Maybe the curriculum didn’t click.
• Maybe math just isn’t his jam (yet).
• Or maybe he needs a little extra support—and that’s okay!

One of the best things about homeschooling? You’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all timeline. You can customize learning to fit your child and help them succeed at their own pace.

Nope—and that's totally normal!

Here's the deal: Accreditation is for schools, not curriculum. Your local school district might be accredited, but their textbooks aren't. Accreditation looks at things like teacher degrees and classroom hours, not the books or materials being used. And since Timberdoodle kits aren't a school—they're a collection of awesome learning tools—there's nothing to accredit.

If you see a homeschool program claiming to be "accredited," just remember: it's the school that's accredited, not the curriculum.

And don't worry—no state requires homeschool curriculum to be accredited. (Phew!)

What you really want to know is: "Will Timberdoodle meet my state's homeschool requirements?" In most cases, the answer is yes—we meet or beat what's needed! However, every state's rules are a little different, so we recommend checking yours. (We even have a quick cheat sheet to help!)

Still scratching your head? Reach out—we'd love to help you figure it out!
