Tumi's Play Path- Tumi's Play Path — Series 1: The Enchanted Compass

Tumi has found a glowing compass at the edge of an enchanted forest — and her adventure is about to begin.

But this isn't just a story.

It's a 12-week school readiness programme designed by a registered occupational therapist — delivered through story-based play your child will actually want to do.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Many children don't struggle at school because they aren't capable.

They struggle because:

• Their hands tire quickly when writing
• Sitting upright feels exhausting
• Scissors and pencils feel frustrating

These are strength and coordination challenges — and they can be improved with the right kind of play, at home, starting now.

WHAT YOUR CHILD BUILDS OVER 12 WEEKS

Each chapter targets a specific set of skills that stack on each other as the programme progresses — the way a therapist would plan it:

✓ Stronger core and posture for sitting and focusing

✓ A comfortable, controlled pencil grip

✓ Confidence and growing skill with scissors

✓ Better engagement with drawing, colouring, and writing

✓ Increased confidence in school-related tasks

This isn't a collection of fun activities. It's a clinically informed developmental sequence — wrapped in a story your child will love.

HOW IT WORKS

Every week, your child steps deeper into Tumi's enchanted forest. Each chapter of the story leads naturally into hands-on activities that build real, measurable skills.

The story keeps them motivated. The play builds the skills. You guide it — and you're never on your own.

WHAT YOU GET

12 story chapters (PDF) — beautifully illustrated, delivered weekly, each one ending on a cliffhanger your child won't want to put down

Printable activity worksheets — included in selected chapters, ready to print and use

12 guided videos — short, clear demonstrations so you always know exactly what to do and how to do it, even with no therapy background. Watch once, then play.

A full materials list upfront — sent before you begin, so everything is ready when you need it. Most items are everyday household objects or inexpensive to source.

A private parent support community — join other families on the same journey via WhatsApp. Ask questions, share your child's wins, get guidance from the community, and find encouragement when you need it. Whether you're on Chapter 2 or Chapter 8, there's someone there who gets it.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This programme is ideal if your child:

• Is 4–7 years old (pre-school to early Grade 1)
• Avoids or struggles with writing, colouring, or cutting
• Tires quickly during table-top tasks
• Would benefit from building strength, coordination, and confidence before or during their first years of school

It is equally valuable for children who are developing typically and parents who simply want to give their child the strongest possible physical foundation before formal learning begins.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SCHOOL READINESS

No apps. No passive screen time. No complicated equipment.

Just a story your child will ask to come back to — and play that quietly builds the skills they need to thrive.
