What moms are saying
It's such a blessing for this busy mama of 3!
Thank you Sandbox Academy for all your ideas, planning and expertise! It's such a blessing for this busy mama of 3 to easily get some special one-on-one time with my middle child. It was a fun first day of "preschool playschool" as my son likes to call it!
We are really loving the preschool playbook. It's so perfect for our life!
We are really loving the Preschool Playbook! It's so perfect for our life! The best part is how versatile it is and I feel zero pressure to do it ALL on any particular day. I just figure we will work our way through each theme however long it takes. Plus my 6 years old daughter loves seeing what were up to. So we are all loving it!
It's all the fun parts about homeschooling!
We are looking forward to this! We've skipped ahead in the playbook to do the camping unit before a trip this weekend. LOVE the flexibility. It's all the fun parts about homeschooling but without the 500 hours googling "PreK activities"!

FAQS
Do you need to buy The Preschool Playbook and The Co-Op Box together?
No. Both are nice to have, especially if you’ve got active kids. But they are two separate products that do not rely on each other. While they offer the same style of activities, they differ in the number of activities and the level of DIY you have to do.
The Preschool Playbook is filled with 300+ activities, which require you to provide all of the materials and do the prep work. The Co-Op Box, on the other hand, has 21+ activities and comes with all the materials you need prepped and ready for you. You’ll just use your own scissors, glue, and markers.
What age range is this for?
The Preschool Playbook, as well as The Seasonal Playbook, is best for kids between the ages of 3 and 5, but some 2.5-year-olds may also enjoy it. I suggest you manage your expectations on their independence levels. Even your older kids might also love doing the activities while they are on school breaks.
Can I see a sample?
Sure thing. I have a copy of the Transportation unit from The Preschool Playbook as a free sample. You can download it here.
[Digital Playbook] Can I send the digital files for printing?
Yes, of course. I know some families have more than one child doing the activities and getting multiple copies of the template book and writing journal makes sense. Feel free to print more copies for everyone in your home if you want to.
Tip: I got mine printed double-sided and spiral-bound with a clear cover at Homeschool Printing Company. Their services are by far the cheapest I could find. I used color ink on the lesson plan book as the pictures are so much easier to see that way.
[Digital Playbook] How can I edit the Preschool Playbook to say my child’s name on the custom pages?
Open the template PDF in Adobe reader in Ready mode—not Edit mode which is password protected. On the Introduction page, you should see the word "name" or "Lucy". Highlight "name" or "Lucy" and type your child's name. Your child's name will then be automatically inserted into the book, and you’ll be ready to print.
