The Core Offering: Coins for Curiosity Classroom Kits

To fit your school’s budget and hands-on goals, we offer our sensory grounding program in two distinct formats. Please contact us for custom class, grade-level, or district-wide pricing (discounted local delivery is available for Florida schools; shipping rates apply for out-of-state orders).

• What We Deliver (DIY Kit): Core hardcover nature books authored by a retired mental health attorney (writing as V.R. Duin®), an instructional Lesson Guide, and digital access to our printable dual-sided overlays.
• The Student Experience: Students paint the flat faces of raw 2-inch wooden disks (not included) with classroom acrylics (leaving the edges raw to showcase the natural wood grain). They cut out the Little Ray front overlay and Sand Dollar back overlay, sealing them with Mod Podge®.
• The Result: A permanent, pocket-sized sensory grounding anchor. No two coins are alike—just like the children who craft them!
