Lovely service and beautiful products

I was very impressed how quickly my parcel was sent. The products are lovely and were packaged with care. We have already used the unicorn puzzle and it was a big hit with my 2 year old. Lots of the other items will be used as birthday presents throughout the year.

Great experience

Ordered a few items for my kids and others for Christmas. Thought there was a good range to choose from. The highlight were the face paint markers which my five year old declared her favourite present on Christmas morning. Have had fun painting Christmas designs on kids and grown-ups alike!

Love these markers

We have had so much fun playing with our dot markers! We made some cards for our friends, and they love it 😊
So good for practising our colours, and concentrating on trying not to overlap the colours on the paper. We have played with them almost everyday.

The Clear Junior Rainbow Pebbles has been a huge surprise. I can see my little one's thinking develop as I watch her play. Stacking, colour grouping, and counting. Highly recommended for a fun and enriching experience!

About Creative Play Resources

Every product is designed in Australia to blend function, sustainability, and style, supporting creative thinking and 21st-century learning. Everything we create is crafted with purpose to empower children to learn through play.
