Forever repeating yourself and the kids don't listen or follow your instructions?
Have you ever stopped to consider that they may not understand the words used in your instructions - like under/over, left/right, up/down, in/out?
Set your kids up for success by teaching prepositions - directional instruction words - to equip and enable them to follow and give instructions well.
This pack has everything you need to teach the basics including letters (phonetically correct), numbers, colours and shapes, prepositions and opposites!
...all through play!
We believe in making learning fun - with sensory play and open ended activities that encourage children to learn, play, explore and discover.
Kids are wired to learn through play, not to sit at desks with pens. Play encourages FMS, GMS, vocabulary, comprehension, problem solving, resilience, cause & effect, social skills and so much more.
Furthermore, we want to help you understand what is really going on when kids play... What are they learning? How can they be learning when they are making so much mess?
And to challenge any misconceptions about what learning looks like. Are they really learning more if sitting quietly at a desk with a worksheet vs. loud water play with scoops and toys?
For teachers, parents, caregivers and early childhood educators to better understand the benefits of hands on (and sometimes messy!) play
For anyone wanting to confidently teach different life skills through play
Complete the training from each of these courses (video or PDF - depending on how you learn best), then pick and choose which resources to print out, based on your child's need and goals
112 pages of posters and printables to learn and trace numbers, ABCs and colours. Includes colour puzzles, animal ABC dominoes and loads of posters to brighten up any playroom or learning area.
A beginners bundle including 321 pages of printables to develop fine motor skills, learn numbers, letters, letter sounds, colours, shapes, prepositions, opposites plus over 20 sensory play recipes and play ideas.

Hi I'm Tash, Director of Little Wooden Toybox, designer of the Letter Basics resources (our own brand), single mum of two teens with ASD (Autism), ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and we've recently added PDA (Extreme Demand Avoidance) to the list - fun times!
My background is in teaching (B.Ed K-7) as well as special/additional needs, and this combined with over 10 years of early intervention has given me a unique insight into - Understanding difficult behaviours and why they occur
- Understanding how emotional regulation and sensory input impacts both us as parents and our little ones (diagnosed or not)
- Developing, implementing and managing resources & coping strategies to make home life calmer & more organised
All of these concepts and resources can be applied in the classroom, home and/or therapy; equipping parents, teachers, early childhood educators and therapists with tools and strategies to confidently manage difficult behaviours.
It's also important to note that these strategies also work for neurotypical children and children struggling with anxiety, helping to keep you and them calm and happy, and ready to learn and play!
“I have lived this day in & day out for the last 14 years – I am in a unique position to not only create amazing resources with input from therapists, but to test them in real life situations at home (where all the crazy comes out!)” – Tash K
