Meet the Family Behind Play Time Crate
We're not just another educational company – we're homeschool parents who understand exactly what you need: engaging activities that work without the prep work!
This is me, Lo, and my husband of a decade and our 3 homeschooled kiddos! We're a homesteading, homeschooling, and home birthing family who believes in quality educational products coming pre-packaged to your doorstep. A little faith, trust, and pixie dust never hurts either! ✨
Our Story
With a background in social work and music education, I was running a successful studio when a sudden fire code issue forced us to close quickly. We had to pivot fast!
As a homeschooling mom hearing the same struggle from busy parents – wanting great educational activities without endless prep work – Play Time Crate was born. What started as desperation became something we never imagined would grow this big!
We still teach a few mommy and me music classes each week (old habits die hard!), and every crate is tested with our own kids first. If it doesn't work in our chaotic homeschool reality, it doesn't go to yours.
Our Mission
To make high-quality, hands-on learning accessible to every family by removing the barriers of time, preparation, and guesswork that often prevent parents from providing enriching educational experiences at home.
