Learning thru Play As a busy mom, this book has been a game-changer! It’s like a cookbook—pick an activity recipe, and my nanny can easily follow it. The bonus videos for each activity really add value! Using everyday items that my little one already loves, the activities are simple, creative, and adaptable to different themes.

Amazing I absolutely love this book! It’s packed with creative and eco-conscious activities that I regularly use with my children. The best part is that you don’t need to buy any special materials—most of the activities use common household items that everyone already has at home. The activities are not only fun but also very beneficial. They help develop fine motor skills and improve hand-eye coordination. Many of the tasks also encourage problem-solving and even teach basic sewing skills. This book is a fantastic resource for parents who want to engage their children in meaningful, hands-on activities while fostering creativity and sustainability. Highly recommended!

She’s been using it to create engaging, play-based activities for her little one, and I can see how much it’s brought joy and learning into their everyday life.

Rahela has created such a fun and creative collection of activities that keep children engaged while being easy to reuse again and again. I’ve followed Rahela’s journey on Instagram, so it’s exciting to finally have this resource in hand. There’s something special about flipping through a physical book for inspiration.
