FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to prepare anything before using the activities?
No! Every activity is prepared and ready to use straight from the box. There's no printing, cutting or laminating required—simply open the kit and start learning together.
Are all of the resources included?
Yes! Any materials required for an activity, such as pom poms, counters, pegs, dice or whiteboard markers, are included where needed. Some activities don't require any additional materials at all.
Can the activities be used more than once?
Absolutely! Our activities are designed to be used again and again. Children learn best through repeated exposure, so revisiting activities helps build confidence and strengthen their understanding over time.
What skills do the activity kits support?
Our kits focus on developing the foundational skills children need before starting school, including early reading, phonemic awareness, early writing, foundations of maths, shapes and colours, emotional regulation, fine motor skills, and problem-solving and confidence.
Do I need to be a teacher to use the activities?
Not at all! Every activity has been designed to be simple and easy to follow. Each pack includes teacher-created instruction cards with ideas for introducing, extending and adapting the activities.
Are the activities open-ended?
Yes. While each activity has a suggested way to play, we encourage families to adapt them to suit their child's interests, abilities and stage of learning. There is no one "right" way to play.
How long do the activities take?
Most activities can be completed in around 5–15 minutes, depending on your child's age, interest and attention span. We always encourage keeping learning fun and stopping when your child has had enough.
Can I purchase individual packs?
Yes! You can choose individual learning packs or purchase the Full Activity Kit, which includes every activity and all required materials.
