Toys

Playing with toys is the first opportunity a child has to explore and interact with the world on their own terms. To children, toys are more than just objects: they are companions, teachers, and super heroes that help guide them through a big and sometimes confusing world. They assist the physical, cognitive and emotional development that prepares children for adulthood. The Creativity Institute divides toys into four categories: 

Toys for physical or muscle development such as wagons, bikes, boxes, puzzles, blocks, brooms, and shovels. 

Toys for sensory (touch, sight, sound, taste, smell) development such as water toys, musical instruments, bubbles, play dough, and sand toys. 

Toys for make-believe and social development such as dolls, dress-up clothes, cars, trucks, games, and books. 

Toys for creative and intellectual development such as clay, crayons, paints, books, paper, and scissors. At Billie & Roo we believe the best toys are ones that engage a child’s senses, spark their imaginations, and encourage them to interact with others. We love toys!

Hours of nature play ideas in one handy book. Your Wild Child, the second book in the Your Wild Books series, is a beautiful, practical and easy to use nature activity guide for children aged 2-12 years. 

Full of new and interesting nature-based activities, this book is suited to slightly older kids as well as young ones who have a helping hand.

With this book, you can help kids play independently with nature, and discover ways to bring nature indoors - great for those times when you're stuck inside.

This book is perfect for parents, grandparents, early years and primary teachers and home schoolers, as well as great for camping and school holiday play ideas.

Activities can be adapted to suit your children's age and interest. While some activities may require adult assistance for younger children, there are often alternatives on how you can provide a more or less challenging activity.

Activities are open-ended, adaptable to suit your location, require minimal craft supplies and are inexpensive. Consider adding Paint Pens (available in our shop) to your book order, to get the most out of the crafts within the book.

Activities are also perfect for boosting creativity, problem solving and persistence, while nature play improves fine motor skills, physical strength and coordination.

Inside the book you will find more than 20 nature play activities that are practical and easy to do, including:

  • Leaf crowns
  • Nature wings
  • Boats and rafts
  • Stick frames
  • Nature weaving
  • Bug journal
  • Pick up sticks
  • Light catcher
  • Leaf art and many more.
