Roobee Roo helps little explorers grow into kind, curious and capable people.

Childhood is full of important firsts.

The first time they ask “why?”. The first treasure they collect. The first story they read all by themselves. The first time they discover that learning can feel like an adventure.

At Roobee Roo, we make stories, friends and playthings that encourage children to explore their world with curiosity, confidence and wonder.

And it all begins with one very curious little kangaroo.

This is your Roobee Roo

Roobee Roo is unlike any kangaroo you have ever met.

You see, Roobee Roo has a magical pouch that fills with new things every day. Each morning, she wakes up wondering what might be waiting inside.

Sometimes it is something she knows. On those mornings, she hops out of bed knowing exactly what to do.

But other times, Roobee Roo has absolutely no idea what is in her pouch, or what on earth she is meant to do with it.

Those are her favourite days.

Because those are the days for learning, exploring, making mistakes and trying something for the very first time.

Roobee Roo loves questions. Her favourites are “why?” and “how?”. She is also rather fond of “when?” and “where?”.

But the question she asks most often is:

“Can you guess what I am doing today?”

Which is a very good question when you have a magical pouch that fills with new things every day, don't you think?

Learning with Roobee Roo

Like any four-year-old, Roobee Roo is a wriggly, giggly ball of fun.

She might still be learning her inside hops from her outside hops, and what happens when you mix tomato sauce with watermelon, but she is also discovering something much more important: that you do not have to know how to do something before you begin.

You can wonder.

You can ask.

You can have a go.

And if it does not quite work, you can always try again.

Inspired by nature, guided by early-years learning and shaped by the magic of childhood, everything we create in our Ballarat studio is designed to help children learn, explore and grow through stories, play and real-world discovery.
