The daily afternoon rescue mission. 👟🌿
We all know that exact hour of the day. The house is getting a little chaotic, the screens are calling, and everyone (including us) is starting to get a bit twitchy.
My absolute favourite circuit breaker? Getting our feet moving on the grass. 💚
You do not need an epic, planned out day trip to nurture their curiosity. Sometimes it is just a walk down the footpath, a lap around the local park, or a spot of backyard exploring.
Slip a set of our educational cards into your back pocket or the bottom of the pram, and suddenly a regular walk turns into a search for local birds, wildlife, or prehistoric dinosaur tracks. 😜
It is easy, it is screen free, and it resets the entire mood of the afternoon. 🤍
How do you usually break up the afternoon screen-time slump? Let me know below! 👇

The antidote to the digital scroll. ✨
We’ve all been there. It’s a busy afternoon, you need a moment to breathe, and the screen feels like the easiest escape route for the kids. 🧘🏼♀️
But there’s a different kind of quiet that happens when a child connects with the real world.
It’s the quiet of deep focus. Of turning a card over in their hands, discovering that an Ankylosaurus could weigh up to a massive 8,000kg - basically a walking tanks with a clubbed tail - and immediately looking up with wide eyes to tell you about it. 🦕
You don’t need an elaborate, messy setup to foster a love for learning. You just need the right tools right in front of you.
Our educational fact cards are designed to spark that exact screen-free wonder - whether you’re at the dinner table, in the car, or winding down for the day.
Fewer screens. More wonder. Real connection. 🤍
Head to the link in our bio to explore our collection and find their new favourite animal facts.
The perfect visual palette cleanser doesn’t exi- 🪵🌊
There is something completely magical about watching a platypus glide through the water. It is the ultimate reminder to slow down and find wonder in the natural world. But did you know that when a platypus is diving and foraging like this, it completely closes its eyes, ears, and nostrils? 🙈
Instead of sight or sound, they use electroreception - thousands of tiny, sensitive receptors in their bill that detect the electrical impulses of moving prey under the rocks.
It is exactly the kind of mind-blowing animal fact that makes our Tidal Treasures set so special. No overwhelming online searches - just accurate, beautiful facts ready for your next conversation at the dinner table.
Take this as your sign to close the apps after this, step away from the screen, and maybe look up a little more local magic today. ✨
Drop a 🦆 in the comments if the platypus is one of your favourites too!

Meet the horse that wears shoes the size of dinner plates. 🍽️🐴
The Clydesdale is the ultimate “gentle giant” of the barnyard. While our Barnyard Buddies cards explore their incredible strength and Scottish history, today’s TIWIK reveals the “Expert Level” facts about what it takes to be a legend.
From babies that weigh as much as adults to the “feathers” on their legs, these horses are as high-maintenance as they are beautiful! ✨
Swipe through to discover:
✅ Why they wear 2kg shoes.
✅ The foal that weighs as much as a human at birth.
✅ Why they are called “cold-blooded” (it’s a good thing!).
If you had a Clydesdale, what would you name him? I’m thinking something big like “Goliath” or distinguished like “Winston”! Let me know below! 👇
Girl, say goodbye to flimsy, laminated paper resources that go straight in the bin come December. 🌊✨
Our Tidal Treasures theme brings the ocean to life with 20 distinct aquatic animals, a clever human-to-animal scale comparison, and built-in educational games that easily scale from younger students up to older kids. 🐙🐳 It is the ultimate classroom companion designed to foster genuine connection and curiosity during desk work or small world play setups. 🌟
Beautifully packaged in our signature premium navy magnetic box, this is a true legacy tool built to withstand years of classroom discovery. 🌿 The ocean is just the beginning. Discovery awaits in our Farm, Wild, and Prehistoric sets too! 🌾🐘🦕
👇🏻 Tag a primary school teacher or dedicated educator who needs these on their shelf! ✨
Behind every fact is a hand-painted detail. 🖌️
I created these cards because I wanted beautiful, tactile tools for intentional play. I spent so much time dreaming of these “small world” moments, and seeing the Bumblebee (& all the other animals!) come to life from a simple sketch is my favourite part of the process. My artist breathed life into them!
Our cards are designed to be durable enough for sensory bins but pretty enough to display.
What dinosaur do you want to see come from the sketch pad? 👇🏻

Meet the prehistoric tank that might just be a favourite in our household… what about yours? 🤩
The Ankylosaurus is the ultimate “don’t mess with me” dinosaur. While our Titans of Time cards dive into that bone-crushing tail club and its “fused” bone armour, today’s TIWIK reveals the incredible engineering hidden inside this 8,000kg giant.
From “armoured eyelids” to a digestive system that worked like a massive fermentation tank, this dinosaur was built to survive the toughest predators of the Cretaceous. 🦖💥
Swipe through to discover:
✅ How it cooled its brain in the midday heat.
✅ Why its eyelids were made of solid bone.
✅ The “Beak” that helped it graze like a 8-tonne turtle.
If you were a dinosaur, would you rather have a “Tail Club” (like the Ankylosaurus) or “Giant Spikes” (like the Polacanthus)? Let me know your battle strategy below! 👇
It is no surprise this set has been flying out the door this week. From the massive Blue Whale and Polar Bear to the unique Yellow Boxfish, these cards are a deep dive into the wonders of our waters. 🐋🇦🇺
As a meticulous researcher, I’ve ensured every card in this set is:
🐳 Fact-heavy, fluff-free: Every detail - from the S***m Whale to the Largetooth Sawfish - is double-checked for accuracy.
🚙 Built for real life: Durable, tactile, and ready for messy sensory bins or quick car ride adventures.
🧐 Intentional: Designed to fuel their curiosity without you needing to reach for your phone.
Whether you’re pairing them with your favourite figurines or taking them on your next trip to the aquarium, they are the perfect tool for intentional, easy educational play.

If you found your way here through our giveaway with Mini Zoo, welcome! I’m Fiona, the founder of Wolfe and Fox.
I started this business because I was dreaming of the perfect small world play for our family. I could see my little one trekking through the wild with their figurines, and I kept wishing I had the incredible animal facts right there on hand to fuel that curiosity. ✨ I thought - why isn’t there a beautiful, tactile way to have these facts right in front of us?
3 things you might not know about me:
1. I’m a fact-checker at heart: Every card we produce is researched and designed right here in Australia. 🇦🇺
2. I value educational play: Whether it’s a sensory bin or a quick car-ride activity, I’m all about intentional, easy educational play. 📝
3. I’m a hot chocolate connoisseur: Usually found with a mug in hand while I’m drafting our next Instagram post! ☕️
I’m so excited to help you bring a bit more “intentional magic” to your playroom.
