If your child is starting Grade 1 soon and you're wondering whether they're really ready — pencil grip, sitting still, using scissors — this was made for you.
A 12-chapter story-based play programme designed by a registered occupational therapist. Twenty minutes, once a week. Through play, not pressure.
Is this for us?
The programme builds the foundation from gross motor all the way to fine finger control.
Hand strength grows through targeted play — not repetition for its own sake.
No appointments, no equipment. Delivered to your inbox each week.
Children who can sit, focus, and control their hands are freed up to learn.
Free Guide
Hands tiring quickly, an awkward pencil grip, trouble sitting still through a story — these are common signs, not something to figure out alone. Grab our free guide for 5 signs to watch for, and simple things you can do at home this week.
The Journey
Each week a new chapter arrives in your inbox. Watch the short video so you feel confident before the session begins.
Each chapter opens with a short Tumi adventure. Your child is drawn into the Enchanted Forest before the activity even begins.
Fun activities, not rote drills — your child leads, you support.
20 minutes · once a weekWhat your child builds
My child actually asks for the next chapter. I didn't expect that — I thought I'd be the one motivating her.
— Trial parent, Johannesburg
What's included
Each chapter includes the story, activity guide, and a parent note explaining the skill being built.
So you feel prepared and confident before sitting down with your child.
Activity sheets and printables included with each chapter — everything you need is provided.
Most activities use everyday items you already have at home. If anything extra is needed, this is indicated in the Welcome Pack so you can prepare in advance.
