OUR PRODUCTS
Our featured PLAY TO LEARN Activity Books, Finger Puppets and all other small role-play accessories are handmade by our skilled handcrafters. Each Activity Book takes over 50 working hours on average to make. From cutting of felt, fitting and sewing, to putting all items together, every process is done with care to ensure only high quality products are offered to children.
OUR GOAL
Learn as they play
These grab-and-go Activity Books are great whether you are home schooling your children, preparing a child for school, or wanting to provide quality play experiences.
The series of Activity Books are thoughtfully designed to suit the sensitive period of preschoolers, from understanding oneself, immediate family and home environment to the nearby neighborhood. Young learners are curious and excited in exploring new things, so the aim of our Activity Books is to k keep their inquiring mind engaged. The color and style, pages and activities, are presented in-order with left-right orientation, which facilitate self-learning and engage children’s full attention in alignment with Montessori Method.
Each Activity Book incorporates a variety of felt boards for children to enjoy mixing and matching the felt pieces, allowing them endless hours to explore their creativity in a healthy way. The Activity Books are the ideal resource for children to learn and discover in their own time.
Interactive role-play
​
The Activity Books provide a base for conversations to develop between adults and children. For instance, asking questions during the role-play of weather changing will encourage the child to make links in their learning and improve their oral language skills. By asking open-ended questions (e.g. How do you know? Tell me about that? What do you think could happen next?), where there is not a single "correct" answer, gives children skills to develop critical thinking and the confidence to think and respond creatively.
