25.01.2022 Thank you so much @mum_to3boys_andadog for sharing this post about our Whizzy Dizzy and how your gorgeous son uses it to fill his sensory needs. Here's what they had to say; "Robbie’s new fabulous sensory spinner. ... Robbie’s main sensory coping mechanism is spinning and has been since he could stand, this was one of the very first visible signs of his autism. This amazing seat enables him to get as much sensory input as he needs but in a safe space! Thank you @the_freckled_frog and @tts_earlyyears Also Thank you to @darcies_voice for the inspiration x @mum_to3boys_andadog

24.01.2022 Ok, we're going to be honest here, not all parents share their children's love and fascination with mini beasts. For those of us who are a little squirmy when it come to the real thing [believe me, we understand], our 'Pretend N' Play Mini Beasts' set is the perfect way to bring the outdoors indoors. Made up of caterpillars, beetles, spiders and worms just to name a few, your child can move the pieces around their 'environments' and explore until their hearts are content. Shop it on our website; https://freckledfrog.com.au/pro/pretend-n-play-mini-beasts/
23.01.2022 An easy way to get children to stay active! They simply cannot get off the Whizzy Dizzy once they hop on it! A toy that will entertain children for hours while improving their hand and eye co-ordination and developing gross motor skills. The spinning action also enables children to practice balancing as they are encouraged to steer the wheel faster as they get some healthy exercise at play....

19.01.2022 On that top shelf there, towards the left, those gorgeous trees are from our 'Seasons' set. This set is a must for all small world creative playsets. It perfectly illustrates the effects the seasons have on trees, reflective of what children might see in their local neighbourhood or park. This set of 10 trees contains a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees including a beech tree, oak, elm, apple, orange, pine, poplar, maple, redwood and weeping willow. The evergreens ha...ve the same image on both sides to correctly represent how they look all year round, while the deciduous have what the tree would look like in the warmer months on one side, and the colder months on the other when they lose their leaves. A great way for children to learn about the seasons, and about our environment all the while having fun! @thewondersofplay See more

12.01.2022 Oh we just loved this little video and post featuring our Getting About Town set. Take a few minutes to read the post below and get plenty of inspo for setting up small world play. SMALL WORLD SATURDAY // Create a bit of small world magic in three simple steps! 1 - Start with some play silks as a base and add a book for a themed backdrop. Were using 2 of our large natural possumkids_byjen play silks as grass and a river + Wilam by Aunty Joy Murphy, Andrew Kelly & Lisa Ken...nedy as a river backdrop. 2 - Add a small world setup using trees, roads, bridges, mountains - here were using our @the_freckled_frog Getting About Town set, which is a perfect starter kit for small world play that can be easily extended or added to. The cork roads are squishy and soft and easy for little hands to connect. We love the simple houses, building and cars in natural wood - the perfect blank canvas for imaginative play. 3 - Enjoy! Pop the phone down (although be sure to snap a picture of your creation and share it with us!), get comfy on the floor, and create some amazing memories with your little humans.
