Learning to dye spaghetti that did not stain little hands, as well as finding the perfect, completely edible playdough recipe, was at times far more challenging than balancing her spreadsheets. With a bit of perseverance and a lot of experimentation she got it down to a fine art. The hugely successful and well recognised Messy Play and Motor Skills classes within the community and schools gave her the springboard to develop little minds away from her classes. In a bid to support parents at home, giving them the opportunities many teachers possess, Little Scribblers On Tour was born.

Roping in poor hubby, who once offered to sketch ‘some prototypes’, and is now responsible for all the artwork, the lucky duck! The kids were even allocated jobs like packing, testing, hand modelling, you name it, all carried out with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Even Grannies and visitors found themselves bribed with coffee and cake in exchange for packing and sorting.

The activity packs have been designed using our own experiences and exposure to the Montessori, Steiner, child-led and open ended play approaches to education. The compact and reusable activity packs include everything a little one would need to engage in the chosen learning objective, laying strong, complete foundations needed to progress through their educational journey.

Play is the highest form of research, according to Einstein, who knew a thing or two about learning. Play forms the forefront and ethos of our business. If we can make learning and development fun for little ones, as well as their grown-ups, that is a job well done in our opinion.

There is so much going on behind the scenes at the moment, with heaps of exciting projects going on. We are very proud to be part of so many little ones’ learning journeys.
