You don’t need expensive toys to spark a child’s imagination.

Sometimes all you need is a question: “I wonder what would happen if
?”

iOi’s hands-on activities encourage children to make, tinker, test, experiment and discover using creativity to turn ordinary materials into extraordinary ideas.

And the best part? You can explore it together.

Bring imagination home. Browse our activities today: https://www.instituteofimagination.org/ioi-in-your-home

So excited to be working in partnership with Springvale Employment and Learning on their stay and play!
Great opportunity for the families in the community to come along to a welcoming safe space to enjoy some fun age appropriate activities with their children to improve their overall skills.
All planned and set up by the childcare student👏 😆

What happens when children are encouraged to figure things out for themselves?

They experiment, make mistakes, try again, then come up with ideas you might never have imagined.

That’s the power of hands-on learning.

With iOi’s at-home STEAM activities, children can explore everything from chain reactions and animation to making instruments from junk materials - while developing curiosity, resilience and creative thinking along the way. 🚀

The question isn’t “Can they do it?”
It’s “What will they come up with?”

Learning doesn’t have to mean sitting still and memorising facts.

At home, children can build, experiment, invent, make mistakes and try again — all while developing creativity, problem-solving and confidence.

From chain reactions to stop-frame animation and junk instruments, iOi’s free STEAM activities turn everyday moments into opportunities for discovery. đŸ”ŹđŸŽšâš™ïž

ioi creative crafts workshop with the lovely level 2 childcare students Springvale Employment and Learning
The girls explored different junk materials and used their imagination to make Halloween theme crafts. This gives the girls a boost in self confidence in their creative skills and more ideas that they can put into practice throughout their childcare journey. đŸ„°đŸ‘
