The Mindstretchers approach focuses on how practitioners can motivate children to learn, rather than discreet curricular areas. This catalogue reflects this approach by categorising the resources into transferable skills areas. Most of our resources are open-ended and their use is only limited by a child's imagination. Many of our resources come from developing countries. Consequently, some of our lines may not always be available. This catalogue illustrates a sample of our range.
