A real-life learning company
Our focus is on helping children develop essential life skills through play. We encourage curiosity, creativity, and the confidence to make mistakes, helping children discover the value of learning through exploration and experience.
Our Projects
Choose from a range of free projects including workshops for primary schools, competitions for all ages or craft and well-being activities at home or school.
For each ootiboo project, we provide teachers with clear curriculum links and guidance on how the activity supports the latest government guidelines.
Why Money Matters
Why Money Matters is a real-life finance project that helps students explore the difference between spending and saving, and the distinction between needs and wants.
Talk Money
In our latest financial learning workshop, inspired by Deborah Meaden Talks Money, students explore budgeting by balancing the books for fictional businesses.

Creativity, poetry and animal pals team up to make exploring emotions a playful and imaginative journey.
