Tuckshop Playkits are hands-on adventure kits for curious kids. Each kit sparks imagination, creativity, and connection through playful activities, little discoveries, and fun materials designed to make everyday moments magical.

Our playkits are perfect for little explorers aged 2 to 8, with activities that can be adapted for younger or older children. The most important requirements are a keen imagination and a parent or carer who is ready to expand their play and connection with their child. Each kit has a suggested age range, but the real magic comes from following your child’s lead. Notice when play is finished for the day, and if something isn’t going as planned, no worries, just bend, adapt, and keep it fun. The most important part is enjoying the adventure together.

Each kit comes with a flow of play guide, suggesting ways to explore the activities. Some kits are perfect for a little each day, while others can be played with at your own pace. Think of it as a mini adventure waiting to unfold.

Absolutely! All Tuckshop Playkits are hands-on and screen-free, encouraging children to explore, create, and connect in the real world. Which is their whole point really.

At the moment, we ship within Australia. We hope to share the magic with more families soon. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know. Rest assured, you can download and print the playkits anywhere in the world.

Nope! Everything you need is in the kit. You’ll just use simple household items you already have at home to bring the activities and magic to life.

Some pieces can be used again, and some are designed for one-time adventures. Some pieces may even become keepsakes from your kit. Anything you don’t want to keep can go straight into your recycling bin.

Yes! The intention of Tuckshop is to make it easy for parents and carers everywhere to enjoy screen-free, imaginative play without leaving home. Simply download, print, and play.

Yes. Tuckshop Playkits are designed to encourage connection between parent or carer and child. While some activities can spark independent play, you’ll likely see your child’s play grow at home as they revisit and enjoy the games and activities included in the kit.

Each kit includes age suggestions, activity highlights, and learning focus to help you choose one that fits your child’s interests and curiosity. A good place to start is with a kit that aligns most closely with what your child already loves, then explore other playkits from there.

It’s completely normal if your child isn’t ready to engage right away. Choose a time when they’re most open to connection and alert, avoiding nap or bedtime. If it’s not happening, try again the next day. Starting with a magical invitation to the story or activity can help capture their imagination and gently draw them in. For example, “Look I found a tea party invitation in the mailbox.”
