Playroom Stills ✨🌈

I filmed a well overdue playroom tour on stories today, so thought I’d snap a few pictures at the same time.

Any questions? Pop them in the comments or send me a message 🥰

IT’S HERE!🎄Know & Play’s 2025 Christmas Gift Guides. EVEN BIGGER and MORE OF THEM than last year.

Comment GIFTGUIDE to get the FREE download link!🎅🏼

I’ve absolutely loved putting these together. It’s given me a chance to really think about those stages of development, about which resources give fantastic play value, and interests and common themes that often arise around certain ages.

These guides don’t necessarily contain the most ‘instagrammable’ or ‘aesthetically pleasing’ toys. Nor do they necessarily follow current trends. They DO however offer a brilliant selection of toys which many have very much stood the test of time, been played with for years in many different ways, have tonnes of developmental benefits AND encourage active engagement.

ALL of the items linked are either items we HAVE ourselves, HAVE TRIED & TETSED, or would genuinely BUY myself. Nothing has been linked just for the sake of it. There’s a purpose behind every individually chosen thing.

Featuring brands such as @jacobsmontessori @the.kid.collective @babipur @cosydirect @tts_resources @totterandtumble @conscious_craft @connetix_tiles & @tptoys , they’re FULL of AMAZING toy & resource suggestions.

I hope you LOVE the guides just as much as I have whilst putting them together.

Don’t forget to get yourself a download link to access them for free by commenting GIFTGUIDE 🎅🏼 or head over to www.theknowandplayspace.com

Happy Know & Play Browsing!!🎄

Giant number line & how to use it 🌈 • @theknowandplayspace

We have absolutely loved using our rainbow number line over the past few days. Scroll across to see all the ways we’ve used it 👉🏽 & some variations/added challenge!

You could do one activity at a time, or often, like we find, the activities flow into one another as the interest or conversation shifts.

SAVE this post to refer back to when you have a go 🤩
