About Play Makes Sense

Meet Alice & Abbie, the visionary founders behind Play Makes Sense. Drawing upon our extensive background as distinguished primary school educators, specialising in the EYFS & KS1, we embarked on a journey transformative journey. While our passion for teaching was unwavering, the realisation that the education system required a fundamental change was troubling & this became even more evident when we became parents ourselves. Each year in England a huge percentage of children leave primary school below the expected standards in reading, writing & maths - a situation that demanded our attention. Choosing not to return to the traditional classroom setting after becoming parents, we resolved to leverage our expertise to effect positive change in the English education landscape. Committed to a mission, Play Makes Sense is dedicated to revolutionising learning for all children through engaging, simple & playful activities, both within the home & the classroom. Our response to the educational challenge is a meticulously crafted range of activity cards designed to not only enhance children's learning but also empower parents. We firmly believe that our play centred approach to learning improves children’s academic achievement while simultaneously fostering a genuine love for learning. Join us as we spearhead a transformation in education, proving that a more effective & enjoyable learning experience is not only possible but essential for the future success of all children.Read their story
