🍃 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.

🚜 Unboxing Let’s Investigate – Farmyard Footprints 🐾

There are always plenty of animals to see down on the farm, but sometimes you need to follow their footprints to find them…

From muddy trails to play dough impressions, children explore, investigate, and can ask brilliant questions.
How do animals move? Which have hooves, paws, or webbed feet?
They can sort, match, and make rubbings to record their findings — a perfect mix of sensory play and early science.

How beautiful is this ocean-inspired sensory setup

How beautiful is this ocean-inspired sensory setup by • @jacotteetsuzette, created in celebration of World Oceans Day (June 8th) 🌊🪼

🌍 Why does it matter?
Because when we care for our oceans, we’re also caring for our planet, our climate, our wellbeing, and our future.

In short: 👉 The ocean matters — and it needs our protection.

How are you bringing the ocean to your setting?

“I gave this to you because you were kind to me.

“I gave this to you because you were kind to me.”
A simple sentence, a powerful moment.

Kindness Hearts offer children a beautiful way to see, feel, and share kindness. Whether it’s saying thank you, noticing someone being helpful, or just offering quiet encouragement — these little tokens become tools for big feelings.

💛They spark conversations.
💛 They give feelings a voice.
💛 They help children understand that what we say and do matters.

🏴‍☠️🌊 Ocean Storytelling Pirate Chest

🏴‍☠️🌊 Ocean Storytelling Pirate Chest — a treasure trove of imagination! 🐙🌊

We’re loving this creative DIY cardboard chest filled with ocean-themed story stones — the perfect way to spark rich, imaginative storytelling in young learners.

Children can dive in and pick stones from different sets to inspire their own sea adventures. Each stone becomes a prompt, helping to structure stories and bring characters to life. Just imagine…

🧜‍♀️ What happens when the clown fish steals Neptune’s pearl from his underwater castle?
📜 How did the octopus help the mermaid queen escape from the cave after reading her message in a bottle?

This playful approach encourages language development, narrative thinking, and endless creativity - all while exploring the magical mysteries of the deep blue sea.

What stories will your little pirates and ocean explorers tell today?
