“These cards are amazing and I love the fact you don't have to go thinking/planning what to do for a quick activity with my daughter.”
Tara H. ✓ Verified buyerAbout the cards
Big ideas for curious 2 to 3 year olds.
Two and three year olds are bursting with questions, energy and imagination. As a registered early childhood teacher, I've designed 48 open-ended activities that give all that curiosity somewhere to go, building cognitive, language, fine motor, gross motor and social skills along the way.
Keep the ring-bound set handy and pull out a card whenever you need an idea. Everything uses simple items you'll already have at home.

Such a great tool for setting up new play stations with the kids. Love the mix of science, imaginative, physical and educational activities in the cards. Super easy to flick through and understand.
Love these explorer cards! They have so many fun ideas that don’t require a lot to set up. They are fun, educational and my kids love trying new ones all the time. Definitely has helped me be more intentional in supporting my kids learning 🤍
We are loving the toddler learning cards! They are a quick and easy set up, super straightforward activities with hardly any prep work. Perfect for busy mums
Very helpful and useful when having a busy toddler. Easy to have the flip cards all in one place!
Great ideas to keep handy and take with us on holidays!
Absolutely love everything Education Starts at Home has to offer. These cards are amazing and I love the fact you don't have to go thinking/planning what to do for a quick activity with my daughter
I really love the concept, and the cards themselves are beautifully made. However, the font is so tiny that they are very difficult to read, even with glasses. I was super disappointed given the cost — I had expected something a bit more practical to use. Such a great idea, but unfortunately the design lets it down.
Store owner replied: Hi Roz, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, we really appreciate it. You’re right, the font on our cards is a little small. We’ve taken this on board and are updating the design with a larger, easier-to-read typeface so there’s no eye strain. All future print runs will include this improvement. As a thank you, we’d love to send you a new set with the updated design, free of charge, as soon as they arrive so you can keep enjoying the activities. Thank you, Ella. Education Starts at Home
