Play To Learn

Lisa, founder of Play To Learn was in the Early Childhood field for 25 years and is a qualified Early Childhood Educator. She started Play To Learn 15 years ago after realising that there was a lack of quality products to create inviting environments for children that were natural and open-ended.

So the journey began to becoming a small business owner.

Play To Learn’s initial focus was finding the best quality natural products supporting fair trade. While it is a priority to support local Australian-made products they also support their international producers. Purchasing fair trade craft gives the opportunity to buy ethically produced handmade items without the exploitation of the producers. Fairtrade supports the disadvantaged in the developing world by giving them a fair wage. Fairtrade ensures there is no abuse of child labour.

Play To Learn proudly supports eco-friendly, non-toxic, sustainable products. They do this by finding the best quality products made from sustainable materials that are safe, non-toxic that really mean ‘non-toxic’ and eco-friendly so we can keep our children healthy and safe.

Not only is Play To Learns environmental ethos amazing but they want to capture the essence of childhood by providing the ingredients for children’s growth and development. Play is one of the most important needs a child has. All the resources at Play to Learn encourage children’s imagination, sense of wonder and curiosity.
