At Creative Play Resources, we believe that creativity is not just an activity - it’s a way of thinking, exploring, and learning.

Founded by a mother and teacher with a passion for early childhood education, Creative Play Resources (CPR) is a family-owned Australian business based in Sydney. Our journey began with a deep curiosity about how creativity is embedded in early learning around the world. After spending a year travelling globally - visiting preschools and primary schools across diverse cultures- we gained valuable insights into the ways children learn, play, and make sense of the world through creative expression.

What we discovered is simple but powerful: materials matter. The quality, presentation, and intention behind the tools we give children shape how they engage, explore, and express themselves. Inspired by this, our products are thoughtfully designed in Australia to blend function, sustainability, and style, offering children meaningful experiences that support 21st-century learning.

Each item is crafted with care, encouraging children to take ownership of their learning, make choices, and tell their stories in a variety of ways -through colour, texture, movement, and imagination. Influenced by educational thinkers like Loris Malaguzzi and grounded in research, our philosophy embraces the idea that children are not separate from the material world, but are constantly becoming with it - curious, capable, and creative.

A signature feature of CPR’s range is the unique cut-out window on every package - an eye-catching detail that reflects our belief that beauty and purpose go hand in hand. These distinctive designs make our products perfect for gifting, while also standing out on shelves and sparking joy from the moment they're received.

We’re proud to give back too. For every 20 products sold, CPR donates one to the Starlight Children’s Foundation, helping bring creativity and joy to children who need it most.

We always love hearing from our community - your stories, feedback, and ideas inspire us every day.
