Over the past decade, we’ve honed our unique approach to help kids become healthy, curious, capable and caring learners.
No matter the setting, every lesson connects us to the natural world. Creatures are our teachers, and mud and sticks our tools.
Each lesson is engineered to engage kids in play that they simply can’t refuse!
Kids learn best when they lead the way. We also equip grownups support children's payful learning.
Our curriculum is designed to help kids develop an essential life skill in each series. When kids complete a series, they receive a real, one-of-a-kind skill badge in the mail.
Subscribe to get started anytime, and we’ll help you keep kids learning and earning all 8 badges!
Explore what kids will learn in our current and upcoming series.
We'll help kids build strong roots in empathy, our human superpower. Kids learn to recognize emotions in themselves and others, explore taking another's perspective and discover fun, new ways to care for each other and the planet.
You can choose to use Tinkergarten with your own kids or teach it to others. Either way, it's the same expert-designed, research-based and irresistibly fun curriculum!
