'Hey can my pants get dirty?'

'Sure'

Imagine if we'd said no.
These kids entertained themselves in this spot for nearly an hour. No toys, no equipment.

How can you say yes this week, this year?

Playful By Nature can help your family or centre.

Just reach out 🙂

Say yes more often.

The kids will benefit.

And, just quietly, it's SO rewarding to watch. Pure, simple happiness.

Easter Bilby retiring for another year, but not before leaving some different eggs and some treasures for the kids to collect.
Imaginative play, nature play, crafts, mess, mud, creek, oobleck, potions, a gorgeous day and brilliant company 😍

More importantly though, this community is building blocks within our community.

Special thanks to for the added bonus of the creek being on!

Just in case it's helpful...
Not saying we've eaten chocolate today... but you might've?

Did you know this about aluminium foil? Let’s make sure we keep it up this Easter by recycling right. Happy Easter! 🥚

Today, we will play with sticks at our excursion. Yes, big ones.
Tomorrow, kids understand natural consequence, looking out for others & that they are strong, capable and valued.
Imagine if you never got these opportunities in childhood? How would life be different?

As a passionate advocate for allowing children a childhood that allows them to play as often as possible outside — doing the healthy activities that enable children to grow and ...

Recent Media Release about our current collaboration with Toowoomba Region Libraries.

It's been so rewarding working with such brilliant advocates for children's literacy and real play. The Library and First 5 Forever teams do wonderful work in our region.

Families are being invited to step outside, make new friends and dive into a world of imaginative and messy fun as Toowoomba Regional Council’s Libraries continue to roll out their Playful by Nature sessions.

Introducing our newest staff member:
RANI
(written by Tara)

I’ve known Rani for over 20 years. When I first started in Childcare, she was my idol. With her many years of experience across all areas of childcare, she is a fountain of knowledge and children are naturally drawn to her. She turns everyday moments into fun experiences and has a magical ability to bring out the best in every child.

Rani is a woman of many hats- generously volunteering for a number of organisations within her community.

I was so excited when Rani joined the Playful team. Her enthusiasm, creativity, photography skills, organisational talents and joyful nature are just a few of the qualities she brings with her to our team. I can’t wait for you all to meet her and experience a little of her magic.

Rani is currently overseas (good on her!) but please say HI when she’s back on board soon!
