Free Resources Hub
Hello, I’m Myriam, the founder of Puppets Ireland, an Irish, teacher‑trusted, eco-conscious brand driven by a love for screen‑free play and childhood discovery. I believe in toys (and resources) that spark imagination, build confidence and curiosity, and support meaningful learning through play.
Welcome to our "Free Resources Hub", a growing, curated library of printable downloads generously shared by Irish teachers, therapists, and play‑experts. These tools are designed to support your work in the classroom or therapy room, covering topics like:
- Wellness & Emotional Regulation (think breathing routines, mindfulness, and calm cards)
- Understanding the Autistic Mind (resources rooted in neuro‑affirming practice)
- Play-Based Classroom Activities (creative, hands‑on strategies to spark learning and engagement)
- Phonetics & Early Literacy (fun, research‑aligned literacy tools you can use today)
Each contributor is introduced with a friendly bio and their free resources listed clearly, so you can find what you need easily and explore their work further.
Whether you’re a primary teacher, SNA, play therapist, educator or a parent, I hope these resources help you bring more magic, connection and fun to your setting.
Explore free printable resources from our wonderful contributors: AUsome Training offers visual tools and advocacy kits rooted in neuro-affirming practice; Deirdre O'Toole from Playful Classroom shares joyful, literacy-rich printables for inclusive teaching; Karen Riordan of Primary Links provides tools to build connection and self-esteem in your classroom; Mireia Lopez from Discovery Playtime contributes mindfulness, craft, and sensory-based printables; and Sinead Kavanagh shares calming breathwork tools to support emotional regulation.
