About Tuckshop Playkits
Tuckshop Playkits were born from my love of play, not just as a mum, but as someone who has always been creative, playful, and nurturing. I dreamed this invention up one sunny afternoon whilst bathing. The kits are all designed, hand illustrated, and photographed by myself with the help of many cups of tea.
Each kit is designed to gently guide families through imaginative, child-led play with hand-illustrated characters and adaptable activities. These kits are as much for grown-ups as they are for children, offering a chance to slow down, connect, and let your child take the lead while you play the supporting role.
At their heart, Tuckshop Playkits nurture connection. They help you build precious memories, understand how your child thinks and feels about the world around them, and explore ideas and emotions together. Imaginative play creates a safe space for children to express worries, experiment with solutions, and develop communication skills that last a lifetime. Each kit is an opportunity to gently infuse your family’s values and encourage emotional reflection in a playful, natural way.
Beyond connection, Playkits open doors to practical skills, creativity, compassion, attention, social understanding, and self-expression, all while meeting children right at their level of play. They are for rainy days, sick days, home days, travel days, or moments when you simply want something enriching and easy to reach for. They also work beautifully when shared with your support crew to ensure your child enjoys thoughtful, high-quality play.
Tuckshop Playkits are earth-friendly, clutter-free, and thoughtfully designed to be affordable, reusable, and treasured. When the play is done, the kit can be stored as a keepsake, passed on, or recycled, leaving only the magic behind.
