Playful, hands-on learning kits that give children beautiful things to explore — and parents the confidence to know what to do next.
LEARNING AT HOME, MADE DOABLE
Possum & Squidge brings physical play, carefully sequenced learning and simple digital Parent Coaching together. Children get activities worth playing. Parents get clear guidance on what to say, what to notice and when to move on.
OUR LEARNING RANGES
We are building connected learning ranges for the early years — beginning with number and growing into literacy. Each range is designed around how children learn, not around filling a box with educational stuff.
NUMBER RANGE
Build number sense through play.
Hands-on number experiences that move from early quantity and counting through to tens, ones, place value and flexible calculation.
LITERACY RANGE
Build the foundations for confident reading.
Our next learning range will bring the same hands-on, carefully sequenced and parent-friendly approach to early literacy, with evidence-informed learning and decodable content.
THE POSSUM & SQUIDGE WAY
Every activity and component earns its place because the learning pathway needs it.
Children touch, move, build, see and talk before symbols do all the work.
We care about relationships, reasoning and confidence — not racing through answers.
Parent Coach turns strong teaching ideas into simple prompts, questions and next steps for home.
WHY WE’RE BUILDING THIS
Possum & Squidge grew from a simple idea: parents should not need a teaching degree — or hours of preparation — to give their children rich learning experiences. We are combining educational experience with the reality of family life to make resources children want to use and guidance grown-ups can actually follow.
