ThinKit Box: STEM Learning Kit and Online Class for Toddlers

Looking for engaging educational activities for your toddler? 

Think Academy is excited to introduce ThinKit—a hands-on learning kit designed for toddlers aged 3 to 4! This all-in-one kit helps young children build foundational skills in early math, problem-solving, and critical thinking through fun, play-based activities. Each ThinKit includes interactive materials and two live online classes led by experienced early childhood educators, making it easy for families to support early STEM thinking in a developmentally appropriate way.

What’s Inside the ThinKit Box

Each kit is packed with tools and materials that toddlers love to explore—and that support real learning.

• The poster introduces the 2D and 3D shapes students will use during the online lessons.
• The instruments—hand bells, a jingle drum, and a tone block—are used in Lesson 1 to explore patterns.
• The sorting box has color labels on one side and shape labels on the other, so students can sort puzzle pieces in different ways.
• The textbook is used during the lessons and for follow-up activities at home.
• After both lessons, students can sign their certificate, and parents will receive a report on their child’s progress.

These materials are reusable, developmentally appropriate, and designed to spark curiosity through touch and play.

Our teachers are not only skilled at guiding young children through foundational learning, but also excel at nurturing confidence and encouraging self-expression in every child.

How ThinKit Lessons Work

The ThinKit Box lessons are thoughtfully aligned with Think Academy’s early childhood curriculum. They focus on developing seven core STEM thinking skills such as creative thinking, problem solving, and flexibility during the critical ages of 3 to 4, helping children reach the cognitive benchmarks expected by top private schools and gifted programs—giving them a strong head start.

Lesson 1: Patterns and Music

In Lesson 1, toddlers are introduced to the concept of patterns through fun, hands-on activities that spark curiosity and build early thinking skills. Teachers guide students through a mix of games, interactive stories, and musical instrument play to help them recognize repetition, strengthen observation skills, and begin developing critical thinking. Here’s an example from the ThinKit textbook:

Students also explore the sounds of different instruments—including hand bells, a jingle drum, and a tone block—learning to distinguish between tones and rhythms. These activities support listening skills and offer toddlers a creative way to express themselves through music.

Lesson 2: Sorting by Shape and Color

In Lesson 2, toddlers learn to sort by color and shape using hands-on activities that support cognitive development and build early math and problem-solving skills. These tasks also strengthen fine motor coordination, attention to detail, and categorization abilities.

Students use the sorting box to place wooden puzzle pieces into slots by shape or color. Each piece has a magnet on one side, allowing them to use a magnetic rod for sorting. Puzzle cards are included to track their learning progress during the class.

Why Families Love It

Parents appreciate that the ThinKit Box is more than just an activity—it’s a low-effort, high-impact way to support real learning at home.

• No prep required—everything comes ready to use
• Online classes are short, focused, and developmentally appropriate
• Children stay engaged through hands-on materials
• Families receive personalized feedback from teachers after each session

Who It’s For

The ThinKit Box is designed for toddlers aged 3–4, especially those who are:

• Curious about how things work
• Ready to explore basic math and logic through play
• Building early language, attention, or motor skills
• Transitioning into preschool or starting structured learning at home

Whether your child is confident and independent or just beginning to explore structured tasks, ThinKit offers the right balance of challenge and support.
