Play Made Simple
By Edzocate
The monthly membership for parents of children aged 1–5 years who want simple play ideas that kids love.
Watch this video to learn how to make play simple.
When you're already juggling work, meals, washing, appointments and everything else, finding meaningful activities for your child can feel overwhelming.
If you're anything like most parents...
❌ You save hundreds of Instagram posts you'll never find again.
❌ Pinterest gives you endless ideas but no plan.
❌ Activities look beautiful online but take forever to prepare.
❌ You wonder whether you're actually doing enough.
The problem isn't that you don't care.
It's that you're already carrying enough mental load.
You know play is important.
What if play could be the easiest part of your week?
Instead of opening Instagram...
✅ you opened one simple play plan
Instead of wondering what to set up…
✅ everything was already planned for you
Instead of feeling guilty that you weren’t doing enough…
✅ you felt confident knowing your child was learning through purposeful play
Not just Pinterest ideas!
These are real activities I use every week with over 100 families at the Edzocate Educational Playgroup.
What You’ll Get
Every fortnight you receive…
A Play Plan
A complete play plan every two weeks so you'll always know what to do with your child. Think, sensory play, play dough, fine motor, building, pretend play, gross motor as well as book and song suggestions.

Educator designed program
As a former kindergarten teacher, mum of 2 and business owner welcoming over 100 families to the Edzocate Educational Playgroup in Brisbane Australia, I know first hand what activities work. Not only in terms of child engagement and development but also what is feasible in our own home. These activities are tried and tested, they’re simple yet effective.

Hi, I’m Zoe!
Founder of Edzocate
I'm a mum of two, a former kindergarten teacher, and the founder of Edzocate Educational Playgroup in Brisbane, Australia.
I hold a Bachelor of Education and a Master of Education in Leadership and Management, and for over a decade I've had the privilege of working alongside young children and their families. Today, I facilitate purposeful play with more than 100 families every week through my playgroup.
Over the years, I've realised something...
Parents don't need more ideas.
They don't need another Pinterest board or another Instagram account to follow.
They need someone to simplify what actually matters and give them a plan they can trust.
That's exactly why I created Play Made Simple.
Every activity inside this membership has been inspired by the same simple, purposeful play experiences I've refined with hundreds of families. They're designed to be realistic for busy parents, quick to set up, and genuinely engaging for children.
If this membership helps you close Instagram, stop second-guessing yourself, and confidently think, "Perfect... we'll do this today," then it's done exactly what I hoped it would.
Because when play feels simple, everyone enjoys it more.
I'm so glad you're here, and I can't wait to support your family inside Play Made Simple.

One of the biggest goals of Play Made Simple is to keep things... simple.
Most activities use everyday household items and a small collection of open-ended toys you may already own.
Think things like:
• containers and scoops
• blocks or magnetic tiles
• play dough
• crayons or pencils
• toy animals
• recycled materials
• coloured paper
You'll also receive a resource list to help you gradually build a simple collection over time, there's no need to buy everything at once.
The community also has a wealth of knowledge of how other families are adapting the plan to suit their family.
You don’t need to rush out and buy a load of ‘stuff’.
-
Absolutely!
Many of our families have children of different ages.
Instead of creating separate activities for each child, you'll learn simple ways to adapt the same invitation to play so siblings can enjoy it together.
Less preparation for you, more connection between your children.
-
Most activities take less than 5 minutes to set up.
While some sensory and water play experiences may take a little longer to prepare, you'll never find complicated, hours-long setups here.
Play Made Simple is designed for real family life, simple, purposeful and achievable. And yes... there'll probably be a little mess along the way, but that's all part of the fun!
