Australia, Where We Live | Play-Based Learning for Toddlers & Early Years


In this episode, we explore how to introduce Australia Day through play by focusing on what young children understand best — their home, their street, and the place they live.


Rather than teaching dates or history, this episode looks at Australia as a place of belonging: where we live, what we see around us, and the people and helpers in our everyday world.


You’ll hear:

• How toddlers begin to understand big ideas like “country” and “place”

• What children can learn about their home, street, and community through play

• Play-based activity ideas such as building houses, going on street walks, vehicle play, and movement inspired by Australian animals

• Tips for following your child’s interests and adapting activities

• Gentle extensions for older children and siblings

• Reassurance that learning happens through play, conversation, and everyday experiences


This episode is supportive, practical, and flexible — there are no expectations to “teach it all,” finish activities, or get things perfect.
