Hi, I’m Nicky đź‘‹
I’m the creator of Toddler Tasks and mum to two little ones who have taught me one very important thing…
Almost everything works better when you turn it into a game.
Like so many parents, I started out looking for the perfect morning routine.
I’ve always been an early bird and a fairly organised person, but once little ones entered the mix I quickly realised that a perfectly ordered schedule isn’t always realistic.
Some mornings everyone wakes up happy and everything falls into place.
Other mornings you’re negotiating over socks before you’ve even had a sip of your tea!
That’s why I stopped chasing the perfect routine and started finding playful ways to make the routine we already had feel easier.
Whether it’s getting dressed, sitting down for breakfast, leaving the house or winding down for bedtime, I’ve discovered that everyday routines don’t have to be constant battles—they can become moments of laughter, connection and play.
Toddler Tasks began as a way to make our own family routines smoother (and a lot less shouty!).
It has grown into a space where I share the simple, tried-and-tested games that genuinely worked in our home.
They’re designed for real family life.
No elaborate setups.
No expensive resources.
No pressure to be the “perfect” parent.
Just playful ideas that weave naturally into the routine you already have.
Because I know what it’s like to juggle work, family life, packed lunches, endless washing, and trying to spend quality time together in between all the jobs that need doing.
If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I feel like all I do is remind my toddler what they need to do next,” you’re in exactly the right place.
Everything I create—from printable games to books and digital resources—is designed to help you turn tricky everyday moments into opportunities for connection.
Because life is too short to spend it arguing over socks.
Let’s make mornings a little more playful.
