AM TC Header - It Started with a Stick

A fun and practical approach being used in schools, settings and groups
across the world

Fabulous fun and incredible learning - starting with... a stick!

Whether you want to focus on learning or on simple starting points for open ended play this practical approach will empower you to use simple starting points as an accessible, affordable catalyst for children’s creative thinking, co-operation, self-esteem and self-regulation.

Or choose learning as your focus through the lens of physical development, language development and making maths make sense.

If continuous provision is your thing - it will never be the same again!

This practical approach is great for children with SEND and for children with none. It works fabulously for mixed age groups or families.

The most fun you have ever had with a stick!
