Welcome to Happy Toddler Playtime!
Meet Mandisa
Hi there! I’m a former MBA/CPA who swapped corporate life for the adventure of being a work-at-home mom to three amazing kids, including a set of twins.
Along the way, I discovered my passion for DIY crafts, early childhood education, and storytelling, which led me to become an author of three kids activity books: Exciting Sensory Bins for Curious Kids, Super STEAM Activity Book and The Big Riddle Book for Kids. I’m also the Host and Co-Producer of a TV show called Curious Crafting on TVO Kids in Canada, ABC in Australia and coming soon to a channel in the US.

A Bit More About Me
Crafting isn’t just a hobby for me; it’s a way of life. It’s how I connect with my kids, explore new ideas, and share love and learning with those around me.
Through my blog, I aim to bring this passion to you, offering a treasure trove of kid-friendly activities and crafts that promise not just fun, but also meaningful learning experiences. I believe in the power of hands-on activities to ignite curiosity, foster creativity, and build foundational skills in young minds.
Beyond the glitter and glue, I’m deeply committed to early childhood education. I understand the impact that these formative years have on a child’s development and future success.
That’s why, through my work, I strive to create content that supports parents and educators in providing enriching experiences for children. Whether it’s a simple craft project that teaches shapes and colors or an activity that develops fine motor skills, my goal is to make learning enjoyable and accessible for all.
Join me as we explore the world of crafting, learning, and growing together. From quick and easy projects perfect for a busy afternoon to more involved activities designed for curious minds, there’s something here for every family. Let’s make every day an opportunity to learn, create, and cherish the moments that matter.
Thanks for stopping by!
