When you’re a teacher, or a parent, time is your most precious commodity. My name is Heather, I’m the founder of Mrs Mactivity and as an experienced teacher, I know all about how valuable time is. I used to find myself spending hours and hours searching for meaningful learning activities for both my class and own children at home, or spent hours making them myself.
Nothing I found online ever seemed to quite work, or was just too expensive, and so I decided to devote myself to helping other people find what they need by creating a whole new approach to Early Years and Primary learning resources.
It all started there – an Early Years and Primary teaching resources site that was affordable, easy and quick to navigate, as well as providing time-saving resources.
I was soon joined by talented artist and designer Hayley Price to create activity-based, boutique resources, using my knowledge of what teachers really want alongside Hayley’s artistic skill.
We are a team of content creators covering EYFS to KS2 and take a huge pride in what we do.
Since our beginnings we have developed a maths scheme of work, topic resources, innovative display resources, continuous provision resources, phonics resources and worked to create collab ranges with our favourite Instagrammers.
Teachers and children love the bright, colourful nature of our resources, and the fact we are “a bit different”.
