About Sticks & Stones Education

About Sticks & Stones Education – Where Play Meets Learning!
Welcome to Sticks & Stones Education, the home of play-based learning, early childhood magic, and just a touch of controlled chaos (the fun kind, we promise).
I’m Jane, Head Pebble here at Sticks & Stones Education HQ—your friendly, slightly eccentric, and wildly passionate curator of all things early childhood play. Now, let’s be honest, While you may never meet the mysterious mastermind behind the scenes (our brilliant founder, let’s call her Gaby El Capitan), just know she’s the reason this whole world of quality educational toys, printables, and resources exists because she birthed it!

What We Do at Sticks & Stones Education
At Sticks & Stones Education, we believe in the power of play. Our collection is handpicked by an actual early childhood teacher (because who else knows what kids really love?). We bring you:
✅ Play-based educational toys that inspire open-ended creativity
✅ Natural and botanical play materials for sensory-rich exploration
✅ Dramatic play printables to bring home corners, small worlds, and imaginative play to life
✅ EYLF-aligned digital resources (coming soon!) for educators and parents who want expert-backed learning materials
✅ A whole blog dedicated to early childhood education – because we love sharing knowledge as much as we love collecting wooden blocks
