🐸🌿Five Frogs on a Log🌿🐸

This engaging, double-sided resource is perfect to help young learners develop a strong grounding and understanding of numbers to five. The frogs and log are blank on one side to develop children’s early number sense, enhancing their cardinal understanding of numbers one to five, as well as developing their counting skills.

On the reverse side, dot patterns on each frog and numerals 1–5 on the log base are revealed, facilitating the teaching of matching and ordering, counting up and counting down. Children will enjoy playing problem-solving games to work out what’s missing or what’s wrong based on the order and position of the frogs.

Ideal for extending mathematical learning and language through play, children will delight in singing the popular song Five Little Speckled Frogs whilst actively jumping each frog from the log into the cool pool!

A little garden magic in our play today! Butterfly 🦋🌼
The Butterflies and Flower Sensory Stones made the perfect addition to our nature-inspired setup. We added them to a sensory tray with soil and natural loose parts, and the children were instantly drawn to their beautiful textures and patterns.

They loved pressing them into the soil to make prints, matching butterflies to flowers, and chatting about what they might find in a real garden. These kinds of open-ended resources always spark the best conversations - about lifecycles, seasons, and the little creatures we see outside.

Such a lovely way to slow down and explore the natural world through play.

Little green thumbs at work! 🍃🤗
We’re celebrating Garden Day with this absolutely gorgeous gardening tinker tray by • @rainbowmama2tots - a perfect invitation to dig, explore, and grow those early STEM skills!

From tiny tools to pretend soil and vegetable stones, this setup encourages children to explore the magic of planting, while building fine motor skills, vocabulary, and a love for nature. It’s a wonderful way to introduce conversations about how things grow, what plants need, and how we care for living things.

Open-ended play like this not only supports early science understanding, but also sparks curiosity, storytelling, and imaginative play. Watch as your little ones become gardeners, farmers, or even flower fairies - anything is possible in play!

Happy Garden Day! Let the growing and learning flourish.

“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!

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.
