Our Story

Hi, I'm Kate, the founder of Bass and Bear. As a busy mum balancing full-time work and caring for my young son Sebastian during the COVID-19 lockdowns, I struggled to maintain a toddler routine that worked for both of us. I wanted to be present for Sebastian, but I also needed to get my work done. It was a constant juggling act that left me feeling overwhelmed and guilty.

That's when I came up with the idea for a set of activity cards to help us navigate our days with better communication and less conflict. I wanted to find a way to make our daily routine more stable and enjoyable, so I started with simple clip art cutouts. But as I saw how much Sebastian loved having control over his day and how it boosted his independence, I knew I had to make something more.

That's how Bass and Bear routine cards were born. These fully magnetic daily routine cards were carefully designed to feature a visual schedule of activities for kids. Sebastian quickly fell in love with them, and I could see how they smoothed the transitions between activities, reduced meltdowns, and gave him a say in his day. They were a game changer for our family, and I knew that other families would benefit from them too.

So, I founded Bass and Bear to share these magnetic cards for kids, with families everywhere. The name "Bass and Bear" is a tribute to my son, nicknamed "Bass", and the bear, which has always been our family spirit animal. Our goal is to make a real difference in families' lives by offering high-quality magnetic routine cards that work for both parents and kids.

The cards are perfect for creating a toddler routine that helps kids stay organized and happy. They're designed to help little ones take control of their day and emotions, while also keeping them engaged in fun activities. Our magnetic cards are perfect for toddlers, kindergarteners, through to Prep and grade one, and can make your daily routine a lot more fun and productive.

Thank you for considering joining the Bass and Bear family! We hope that our cards can help you experience the joy and benefits of a more organized and connected household.
