These are amazing!

I love ideas to implement in my classroom that are 100% kid made, educational, and fun. These cards fit the bill and more! My class is looking forward to creating menus and serving play food. These are authentic learning opportunities in which the kids have a blast and the learning just happens! I feel truly blessed to have found Anna and the Imagination Tree. I've used so many of their products....I will always treasure the Kindness Elves and book I used with my own children. I now use these in my classroom as well. You cannot go wrong with anything from this beautiful family company.

Excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I work with pre-school children and having these really help with finding new experiences for the children. They’re perfect for the children to look through and choose their own activities too .

Super sensory play cards and literacy playcards

After longing for them a long time I purchased the sensory play cards and the literacy play cards.
They are such a treasure. And really tausend times worth it. Such a high quality in every Form. Thank you!

Great resources

Bought both the sensory and literacy sets. Really great 'grab and go' cards to add to my stash of resources. Great format, lovely design and awesome ideas - all quite do-able with regular household items. Excellent quality (good thick cards, quality printing, bright and colourful, great format) with lovely little details that make them extra nice to use (lanyard, storage bag, shiny edges to the cards, well packaged). On ordering I initially wondered whether they were a little expensive for what they were but on receiving them I can reassure they are totally worth every penny. My 3.5 year old loves them too and happily choose her own activities.

Inspirational Ideas

Hi Anna,
I’m an avid fan and follower of your website and instagram ideas for engaging children in imaginative and independent play. This was the first product of yours I’d purchased and am very happy with the quality of the lamInated cards and all the inspirational ideas you’ve listed. It’s great for just flicking through when my own ideas have run dry. My daughter has anxiety around reading and writing and getting her to do anything in that area always becomes a bit of a battle but I tried two of the ideas in the literacy invitation to play cards (the wet chalk and the phonics sounds on white pebbles) with immediate engagement and success! So it’s already working for her and me. Thank you. You continue to inspire and I always recommend you to other parents.

So much fun!

Such a lovely collection. My 2.5 year old has really enjoyed the new invitations to play and we've been inspired to try lots of new things. So handy to have it all in one place and not have to trawl the Internet for ideas. One of the best things I've bought all year!
