To celebrate National Insect Week, we’re loving this beautiful butterfly habitat play tray by • @teachingbythemountains 🦋

Set up outside in the mud kitchen, this small world invitation is full of nature-inspired textures, creativity, and curiosity. What a wonderful way for children to explore lifecycles, habitats, and the beauty of insects through play.

Hands-on, child-led, and full of storytelling potential — just how we like it 🐛🌸

We’re dreaming of warm breezes, buzzing bees, and all the beauty summer brings. Our Let’s Roll – Seasons rollers help capture a little of that magic with patterns inspired by sunflowers, dandelions, strawberries, butterflies, and more.

Perfect for those slow, sensory moments where children can explore seasonal changes through touch, storytelling, and creativity. A lovely way to welcome the longest day of the year 🌞🌼

Unboxing our Roll Around – Nature set 🍃🐚

These beautifully designed rollers open up a world of pattern and texture, all inspired by nature. From swirling shells to leafy lines, children can explore movement, pressure, and direction while building strength in their hands and fingers.

It’s a calming, creative way to support fine motor development, coordination, and early mark-making- all through the joy of sensory play. Whether rolled round and round or freely across dough or clay, the journey is always hands-on and full of discovery.

We’re absolutely loving this brilliant Ten in the Bed maths play by • @honeyhiveearlyyears 🧸💤

They’ve created such a joyful invitation to explore numbers through singing and storytelling - using our Ten in the Bed wooden bear counters! The double-sided bears and bed sparked so many learning opportunities: number sequencing, matching with Numicon, patterns, number bonds to ten, and even a bit of imaginative play as each Numicon piece became a mini bed for the bear that “fell out”! 🛏️

Proof that early maths can be meaningful, playful, and full of curiosity 💛

🍃 Soft tones, smooth textures, quiet focus…

There’s something grounding about watching children engage with natural materials. The way they line things up, group by size or shade, or quietly create something entirely their own.

These beautiful stones invite thoughtful exploration — perfect for early maths, yes, but also for calming busy hands, sparking gentle conversation.

It’s not just art — it’s sensory, mindful, and deeply connected to the outdoors. A perfect reminder that some of the most meaningful learning happens when we step outside.
