Free Resources to Extend Your Child’s Learning & Development

Back in February 2006 SparkleBox was launched as a means of sharing useful downloadable resources with parents and teachers around the world.  Since then the site has grown from a handful of products to many thousands, but the fundamental aim of sharing resources remains: nearly every resource on the site is completely FREE to download!  We hope you enjoy looking around and find some useful products to use with your children.
