You Asked, We Found It: How Dandelion Roots Sources Hard-to-Find Homeschool Materials

One of the questions we get most often from Dandelion Roots families is some version of: “Do you carry X? I’ve been looking everywhere.” And our answer is always the same — if we don’t have it yet, tell us. Because chances are, if you need it, another family does too.

Why We Started Our Sourcing Service

We started Dandelion Roots because we know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to build a homeschool curriculum from scratch. The resources are out there — but finding quality, trustworthy materials that meet state ESA and EFA program requirements? That’s a whole other challenge.

That’s why we built our personal product sourcing service. It’s simple: if you’re looking for something specific — a particular science kit, a hands-on math manipulative, a book series your child fell in love with at the library — you can submit a request directly to us.

How It Works

  • Submit your request via our Request a Product page
  • We research availability, pricing, and sourcing options
  • If we can add it to our catalog, we’ll notify you when it’s live and ready to order
  • All sourced materials go through our standard ESA/EFA compliance inspection before shipment

What Kinds of Things Can You Request?

Curriculum materials, manipulatives, science kits, books, games, posters, art supplies — if it supports learning, we want to carry it. We’ve sourced everything from physics lab kits and biology dissection sets to ASVAB prep books and coloring world maps.

We recently had a Dandelion Roots family reach out with a detailed list of materials for five kids across multiple grade levels and subjects. Within days, those products were live in our store, ESA/EFA compliant, and ready to order. That’s the Dandelion Roots difference.

Ready to Make a Request?

We can’t guarantee every item can be sourced, but we will always let you know either way. Please allow 5–10 business days for us to research and respond. Most items will be posted well before that timeframe, but sometimes the source takes a bit to finalize the relationship.
