5 Foundations Every Kids’ Activity Club Should Build

Every strong structure needs a solid base — and so does every children’s activity club.

While fun and engagement are the first priorities, the real measure of a great holiday or enrichment programme is what it helps children build — in skills, confidence, and curiosity.

At The Wonder Company, we believe every club, no matter its size or setting, should nurture these five core foundations:

1. Curiosity — the spark that starts everything

Curiosity is the first step toward learning. Activities that invite children to ask “why” or “how” fuel their natural drive to explore and discover.

2. Confidence — built, not given

When children create something with their own hands, whether it’s a puzzle, a drawing, a game or a story, they see what they’re capable of. That sense of pride keeps them coming back for more.

3. Creativity — freedom to think differently

Every challenge, even something as simple as our House & Roof Puzzle, is a chance to see things from a new angle. Creativity grows when children are encouraged to imagine, test, and try again.

4. Collaboration — learning from each other

Whether it’s sharing ideas or solving a problem as a team, activities that bring children together build essential social skills and empathy — the foundations of community.

5. Resilience — finishing what they start

True growth comes from persistence. When children are given the right tools and guidance to complete an activity, they develop resilience — and that’s a skill that lasts a lifetime.

At The Wonder Company, every book, box, and activity is designed with these five foundations in mind. Because we’re not just creating activities — we’re helping build children who are curious, confident, creative, collaborative, and resilient.
