Is the World of Wonder curriculum a monthly program that mails me theme units monthly?

No, World of Wonder theme-based curriculum binders are full of hands-on activity ideas for teachers (over 50 in a Terrific Topics activity binder). Depending on how many activities you use in a day and how long you would like to run a theme, each unit could last a week or a month. You can use the binder again and again, year after year. You can even hole-punch activities of your own to add to the binder and keep all of your theme related ideas in one place.

Are WoW Kit activity binders included in a kit?

Yes, all of our complete kits and bags include an activity binder.

Are WoW Kits developmentally appropriate?

Yes, all World of Wonder infant, toddler and preschool activities and kits are developmentally appropriate. We follow the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) guidelines for developmentally appropriate practice.

Do WoW Kit activity binders contain worksheets?

 No, we believe that children learn best when they are involved in hands-on activities. You will find reproducible pages in our activity binders. These include templates for simple projects and charts/checklists that children may need for some activities. For more information about why we do not use worksheets, click here.

Do I have to purchase the same kit or theme binder again each year?

No, all WoW Kits include only non-expendable materials (puppets, puzzles, books, etc.) and all activities are simply easy-to-follow instructions that allow a parent or teacher to create hands-on experiences for children. Every part of your WoW Kit is of the highest quality and can be used for years in your program.

How many children can use a kit?

Our kits are idea boxes, similar to "prop boxes" that many teachers make for themselves to enhance a theme. Kit materials help liven up your theme and encourage children's curiosity, creativity and desire to learn more. Only 1 of each item is included in a kit. The activity ideas range from independent to large group and are designed to be used by a class of any size.
