Thriving Minds Education has a range of unique and quality wooden and educational toys, resources and books that assist in the development of a thriving early childhood and beyond. They honor the creative, diverse and whole child.
Annabel started Thriving Minds Education, after studying a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and working in numerous childcares and early learning centres.
Thriving Minds Education was established because there were few local wooden and educational toy shops that stocked quality, unique, affordable and skilfully chosen products.

Testimonials
I was so impressed when I stumbled across Thriving Minds Education's website. The beautifully curated packs, quality handmade items, wonderful educational toys and all at incredible prices. There are items you sell that I've never seen anywhere else!
I purchased gifts for my 2 year old son, 1 year old niece and friend's children. Everything I purchased have been absolute hits with the kids, so much so that their mums have asked me where I bought them so they can enjoy some gorgeous items. My son adores the Old Macdonald Finger Puppets, they are something that is played over and over. The sensory starter pack has helped me brave the world of sensory play and every item included has afford my son hours of interactive and engaged play-amazing! The ribbon shakers and scarves are of a high quality and have been played over and over by my niece, she adores them.
Thank you for your beautiful website and incredible products. We will be returning again and again!

From an educator's perspective, Thriving Minds Education has become my go to store. The website has so much variety. I found Thriving Minds Education a few months ago and have made several orders, Annabel is so quick to get the orders out and super helpful. One more aspect that I love about the website is there's a local pick up option. Thank you again for the amazing products and for the brilliant customer service.
