Screen-Free Play

Activities that ask a child to cut, sort, build and explain.

Early Reading

Letter games and story prompts short enough to finish.

Numbers & Counting

Kitchen-table maths using things around the house.

Making & Creating

Open-ended prompts with no correct answer.

Activities & learning

Packs for the afternoon in front of you

Each pack covers one kind of doing — playing, reading, counting, making — rather than claiming to be a curriculum. Pick whichever suits the mood in the house today.

Learning happens around the house

Children do better when the household around them is steadier. These areas cover the rest of the picture.

Featured children’s resources

Designed to be printed twice, then twice again.

Anything made for children needs to survive being spilled on, lost, and asked for again tomorrow. One download gives you unlimited copies — and the same pack still works when a younger sibling reaches the same age.

Our standards

Shaped by educators.
Written for real afternoons.

Every children’s resource is reviewed by someone working in early years education before it is published — checked for age-appropriateness, genuine learning value, and instructions a child can actually follow. These resources support learning at home; they are not an assessment, a diagnosis, or a substitute for specialist educational advice.

What to expect

What every activity pack promises

Plenty of printables look educational and are really just colouring. Here is what we hold each pack to instead.
