while I thought that Beatrice’s Goat
was one of the best additions I had ever made to our home library…ever. So, really, you are “required” to buy only as many of these recommended books as you would like. Our local library carried about half of them; others I requested in advance and some I purchased. Still much cheaper than any other curriculum I had looked at. (Also, if you have Amazon prime, your books are going to ship for free and be a lot cheaper than any bookstore so that is another way to save.)
Charlotte was my first child to do this curriculum. The benefit of finding this during Charlotte’s preschool year was my twin boys with special needs were doing Pre-K/K work at the same time she was and they enjoyed the curriculum as much as she did.
I enjoyed having crafts and activities we could all do together as a family that celebrated the seasons in such a peaceful, memorable way.
Soon, my youngest will be starting the Harvest Time Curriculum. Oh how I wish I had had known about this when I started homeschooling my eldest daughter, Audrey, but as I shared with you last week, much of her preschool was table work (I’m sorry Audrey!).
I have linked to all the different curriculum units they offer in this post, but if you aren’t familiar with the Wee Folk Art site, you are in for a treat. They also offer State Studies :: Elementary School (for 8-10 years old) ,Then, being the generous folks they are, they offer so much more than just free homeschool curriculums! They also offer free patterns and tutorials, recipes, and have informative posts on everything from knitting to family games.
It’s been one of my favorite sites for awhile now (and one of my favorite Pre-K/K curriculums) and I am so happy to share it with you today!

Thank you, Katie. I love these. I am bookmarking and pinning to use with my little ones!!!
Wow! We all go through pretty much the same things. I am sooooo super excited about our curriculum choice this year also! I did eclectic last year which was our 3rd year homeschooling. The year before that we attended an academic co-op (not fun), and our first year, because I took my oldest out of public school mid-year her kindergarten year, I did a box curriculum. But this year, I know we have found a good fit for our family! Thanks for sharing! Your blog is a wonderful place to come.
Thanks, Katie, for helping to spread the word about our Seasons Curriculum. This year there is going to be a new addition to Wee Folk Art that we hope really adds to the program. In the next couple of weeks we will begin beta testing forums on WeeFolkArt.com. There will be 1 board dedicated to the Seasons Curriculum. We are hoping that parents will take this opportunity to involved with other families also using the program and share experiences and support one another. Again, thanks so much, and we truly are hopeful you will join our Seasons Curriculum forum and share your experiences with families going through the program for the first time. ((hugs)) ~Kimara~
My first time to your blog!! Thanks for sharing your curriculum choice 🙂 I only have one that is near this age group (the others are older) but already thinking about what I’d like to start with her in a year or two.
These are great resources. Ours are now 3 1/2 so this is very timely for us. I am glad to be following your blog again. Somehow I lost track when the name changed. Thank you for sharing on Artsy Play Wednesday. : 0 )
