Open-ended toys are toys that can be used in countless ways, depending on your child’s ideas and interests. One day this DIY ring holder is for colour matching and sorting… today it’s a hat rack for our peg dolls. 🤭 I love finding new ways to use the same play materials rather than constantly

I remember being so excited to finally add a wooden house and lucites to our collection. Meanwhile, baby Girl couldn’t care less about the unboxing and just wanted to get her hands on them immediately 😂🤎 One thing I’ve learnt since then is that the magic was never really in the toys themselve

An old unboxing video from when my open ended play obsession was just beginning 🤭🌈 Back then I was buying all the beautiful wooden toys. Now I’m over here painting peg people, making colour matching toys and coming up with DIY versions of everything. It’s been a fun journey, and it’s only

One of the biggest misconceptions about open ended play is that you need to spend hundreds of dollars on beautiful wooden toys to get started. You really don’t. My kids’ first blocks came from the op shop. We used yoghurt pouch lids as loose parts. Our first play scarves were second hand be

I may have just found the missing piece to our block collection 🤎 After a lot of thought, I decided to add the @Grimms Large Stepped Pyramid to our playroom and I can already see so many possibilities for both my son and Baby G. It’s also made me realise we probably have too many blocks avail

Ended up buying the @QToys - Learning Through Play rainbow nesting boxes from My Playroom. I really think my kids will LOVE these boxes and there are so many different ways they can be played with #openendedplay #playroom #openendedtoys #aussiemum #woodentoys

Replying to @lifeofmel_aus if you shake them yes they come out easy. But when building and stacking I don’t notice them any different to other blocks🤍

Replying to @Rachael A little Temu haul that accidentally matched my current open ended play obsession 🤭 Picked up the prettiest crystal pendant for the playroom so the morning sun throws little rainbows everywhere ✨ plus a wooden airplane, wooden blocks and lucite pieces the kids have already b
