About Busy Brains Activity Packs

Busy Brains Activity Packs was born from my experiences as a mum of three and a Primary School Deputy Headteacher. When my second child was born with severe hearing loss, I decided to leave the classroom to focus on supporting his development. During this time, I combined my knowledge of child development with creative play ideas, discovering firsthand how thoughtful, developmentally appropriate activities could boost learning and confidence in both children and parents. This inspired me to create age-specific packs to help other parents find simple, fun ways to play and engage with their children. Each pack is carefully designed, offering research-based child development insights and activities that align with key developmental milestones. Parents and caregivers will find a range of engaging ideas that nurture all aspects of a child's growth—from creativity and numeracy to social and physical development. With milestone guides included in every pack, Busy Brains Activity Packs provides an easy-to-follow roadmap, helping children reach important learning stages while keeping play fun and rewarding. Rooted in the Early Years Curriculum, these activities ensure that playtime fosters meaningful learning from the very start. Having sold thousands of copies worldwide and earned multiple awards, including two from former BBC Dragon Theo Paphitis, Busy Brains Activity Packs is now ready to expand into the world of wholesale!Read their story
