The Science of Play
🔬 The Science of Play
Hands-On Tools for Tactile Thinking, Inquiry, and Discovery
Welcome to the Science Collection—a thoughtfully curated hub of handmade learning tools that support real-world discovery through sensory-rich, open-ended play. Designed for curious minds from preschool to the early primary years, each item in this collection reflects the natural way children explore, test, and build understanding: with their hands, hearts, and senses.
Every piece is handmade in Pitt Meadows, BC using Canadian bio-based resin—so it's built to last, easy to clean, and versatile enough to use in every classroom center: water tables, art stations, light tables, slime bins, and more.
🌎 Rooted in the BC Early Learning Framework
Our Science Collection aligns beautifully with BC’s Early Learning Framework, supporting goals like:
* investigation and experimentation
*confidence through inquiry and wonder
*multiple domains: cognitive, creative, sensory, and social
Whether you're exploring forces and materials, weather patterns, or biological systems, this collection helps educators build rich, connected learning experiences with tools that invite participation, questions, and discovery.
