Timberdoodle Co. · Grades PreK-12
Busy or new homeschool families wanting pre-assembled eclectic kits with heavy STEM emphasis; minimalist families who want curation done for them
$300-800/year (3 tiers)
Overview
Timberdoodle is selection as a product: the company assembles annual kits from the best materials across hundreds of homeschool publishers, with both Christian and secular versions available. Three price tiers (Basic, Complete, Elite) let families dial up or down based on budget and ambition. The STEM, thinking-skills, and problem-solving components consistently get the highest praise; the multi-publisher variety means inconsistent instructional styles across subjects. Elite-tier families almost universally report not finishing everything in the box: the kit is more generous than a single year can absorb.
