All without pressure, worksheets, or screen time.
Hi, we’re Nadine and Elsje, occupational therapists, entrepreneurs, and passionate believers in the power of play.
Every day in therapy, we witnessed how small moments of movement, touch, and connection could calm nervous systems, build confidence, and unlock learning.
But we also saw how many families felt overwhelmed once therapy ended, unsure how to support their children at home.
Play Pack was born from that space.
A place where:
Therapy meets play
Families feel empowered
Children grow through joy, connection, and meaningful moments
Our mission is simple:
To help children build confidence, skills, and emotional readiness through purposeful play, so they can grow, learn, and thrive.
"Sourced with care by occupational therapists.
Designed to support real children in real life."
