Welcome to our education and learning section — filled with fun, practical activities that support your child’s development at home. Whether it’s early years learning, seasonal themes, or simple ways to support classroom topics, these ideas are all about making learning engaging and enjoyable.
Many of these ideas are drawn from my own experience as a parent and teacher — blending real-life parenting with an understanding of what helps kids thrive. You’ll find phonics games, number play, writing prompts, and creative learning projects that encourage exploration and build confidence.
Most activities use things you already have at home, and are suitable for toddlers through to early primary school-aged children. Whether you’re supporting school work or looking for screen-free time fillers, there’s plenty here to explore.
As a parent and teacher, I love finding education and learning activities that feel more like play than worksheets. These posts aim to show that learning can happen anywhere — in the garden, the kitchen, or even while walking to school. The focus is always on building confidence, independence and a genuine interest in the world around them.
