Six Bricks Australia
Our vision is to ignite a lifelong love for learning in young minds through the power of play. We aim to provide accessible and innovative educational resources that empower educators, caregivers and parents to nurture the holistic growth of children, fostering their physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. With Six Bricks, we envision a world where playful learning is at the heart of every child's educational journey.
What are Six Bricks?
The Six Bricks Methodology is an educational approach that emphasises hands-on, experiential learning. Children are encouraged to use the bricks to problem solve and explore concepts like shapes, colours, numbers and patterns through play. Six Bricks activities support various aspects of child development, including cognitive, social, emotional and physical skills.
