Changing the world through Play
“The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.” – Carl Jung
Why play you might ask? There is overwhelming evidence to support play as the highest form of physical activity in children AND a driver for social change/development. Play is an evidence-based approach to support children’s wellbeing, through all aspects of being. Play has positive impacts on children’s social, emotional, cognitive, language and physical development. Play enhances brain structure and function and promotes executive functioning. Most importantly, play is how children make sense of the world around them. Play opportunities for children are in decline and subsequently there are serious health and wellbeing risks on the rise.
Growing Kind are tackling this by focusing on three pillars; advocacy, community connections and accessibility to resources.

Support development with fun learning resources and toys
Toys are not just playthings to amuse your kids and keep them busy. They can be a great source of a fun learning experience.
Our wide range of educational playthings are great learning resources that will help your child recognise colours, improve their coordination, develop imagination, introduce them to the alphabet, numbers and much more.
What’s more aesthetic than classic wooden toys with bright, organic colours? Growing Kind’s wide educational range will perfectly complement your nursery. Our wooden toys are of heirloom quality and will last for generations. They might even take you back to your childhood with Waldorf dolls, pretend food, animals and kitchen sets.
Switch off from screen time, and return to nature
In today’s day and age, with so much exposure to screens and batteries, it is important that this generation of learners are self-aware, mindful, competent and, most importantly, kind to mother nature.
Our main focus is to nurture your child’s holistic development. While supporting your kids, we also acknowledge and respect that families are their first teacher. We help to guide, support and educate families on the latest early childhood research.
Enjoy a selection of beautiful and creative natural designs that will encourage your children to switch off from technology, and let their imaginations be the only limitation to their play.
A safe learning environment
Our eco range is 100% natural, made from organic wood and painted with safe, natural colours. They also comply with international safety standards.
So let us become a part of your sleep-deprived, caffeine-restricted, supervised toileting-trips, yet mindful journey to raise a beautiful little person.
