A: Raising Curious Minds began when I found myself struggling to keep my then 2-year-old engaged while caring for my newborn. I didn’t want to rely on an iPad/screen to keep him busy—I wanted activities that were hands-on, engaging, and easy to set up. As a teacher, I knew the importance of play-based learning, so I started creating resources to make learning fun and stress-free.

Now, I share these play-based digital downloads to help parents, carers, and educators support their little learners with simple, screen-free activities that build important early skills like literacy, numeracy, and fine motor development—without the overwhelm.

A: All resources are created by Talitha, a qualified primary school teacher with a Master’s degree in Primary Education and a mum of two toddler boys. She has a passion for making learning fun, engaging, and easy for parents, carers, and educators of little learners.

With over 10 years of experience creating and selling digital download resources for primary school-aged children, Talitha designs each resource to support play-based learning without the overwhelm, helping young children develop key early skills through hands-on, engaging activities.

A: At this time, we do not offer custom resource creation. However, if you have an idea for a resource you'd love to see, we’d love to hear from you! We're always open to feedback and new ideas, and we regularly add to our growing collection of resources. Feel free to send any suggestions to admin@raisingcuriousminds.com, and we’ll consider adding your idea to our future uploads. Your input helps us shape the resources that best support you and your little learners!

A: The addition of new resources depends on time and availability. Currently, there is a backlog of over 50 products waiting to be uploaded. As a small business owner and mum of two toddlers, this process can take time. However, we are aiming to have a few new products uploaded every couple of weeks as we continue to grow and expand our collection. Thank you for your patience and support!

A: All you need is a printer (a colour printer is ideal) and paper. A laminator is a great addition if you want to get more use out of each printout, but it’s not necessary.

A: I use an Epson EcoTank printer, which I highly recommend if you're doing a lot of printing. It’s a bit of a pricey investment upfront, but the ink costs are minimal, so it really pays off in the long run. For laminating, I just use an A3 laminator from Kmart—my original one from Officeworks lasted 12 years, and when it finally died, I grabbed this one as a quick backup, but it’s been performing just as well!

A: To improve print quality, go to the media and quality settings when printing and select best quality. I usually print on the matte paper settings for the best results. However, as all printers are different, I highly recommend doing a test run with a few different print settings to see what gives you the best results.

A: Simply use a small bit of Blu Tack in each of the corners and stick the toppers directly onto the tiles. It’s super easy to remove when you no longer want them on there!
