Creating your own DIY Recycled Number Stacker is n

Creating your own DIY Recycled Number Stacker is not only a fun and creative project, but also a brilliant way to support early number learning through hands-on, eco-friendly play! It’s a fantastic blend of sustainability, education, and imagination - perfect for little learners who love to build and explore.

Of course, for those who prefer a beautifully crafted, ready-made option, our Natural Number Stacker (1–10) is ideal. Made from FSC-certified beech wood, it’s thoughtfully designed to support early maths skills while staying kind to the planet.

Whether you go DIY or choose our sustainable version, both are wonderful tools for encouraging counting, stacking, sorting, and number recognition.

“Look inside!” – A world of learning on whee

“Look inside!” – A world of learning on wheels!
Our Look Inside Community Vehicles Wooden Play Set is perfect for curious little minds who love to explore how things work.

Children naturally start asking questions:
“Who uses this?”
“What’s that inside?”
“Where does it go?”

It’s a fantastic opportunity for language development, role play, and problem-solving. Why not add some magnifying glasses your setup and watch the children become mini investigators—spotting buttons, seats, ladders, and tools. So many details to spark those “why?” and “how?” conversations!

It’s small world play with BIG learning benefits.

🌿🌸 Kick off your Easter adventure with a magical fizz using magic mud! 🌿🌸

Have you ever tried this fascinating experiment? It’s a wonderful opportunity for children to discover science and explore.

You can opt for mud alone, or add a dash of colour by mixing equal parts of bicarbonate soda with colourful sand or powdered paint. Then, using pipettes, add white vinegar to strengthen those fine motor skills ☺️

Let the magical fizzing begin!

Happy National Siblings Day!

Today we’re celebrating the special bonds between brothers, sisters, and all those who feel like family. These beautifully simple play people are perfect for exploring what family means to each child - whether it’s big siblings, little ones, cousins, or chosen family.

Through open-ended play, children can create their own family stories, act out everyday moments, and explore emotions and relationships in a way that’s meaningful to them. It’s a lovely way to support empathy, connection, and early social skills - all through the power of play.
