it’s easier when tasks are visualised
The day you tell your child to put the lunch box in the backpack for the tenth time, might just be the day you want to scream it. Or shove the lunch box in yourself. While you growl under your breath. Or something like that.
The silly thing is, your child probably already knows what to do with the lunch box. And your child wants to do it her/himself. But the brain responds much better to random impulses than to lunch boxes.
It’s a lot easier when tasks are visualised. What’s going to happen? What has already been done?
This is very easy with our icons! Just download and print. And the best part is…
If you’ve ever used icons, you know that a set is never really complete. You always miss that one illustration that clearly shows that you can do a knitting project while parasailing. After all, we can’t think of everything. That’s why we’ll just add what you’re missing (well, not if parasailing is your wish 😉 )!
But wait, that means…
that it couldn’t be more complete…
than…
complete!
What makes an icon set really complete for you?
Because your child learns so much by ‘do it myself!’. Finding solutions you couldn’t imagine. All the while feeling: wow! I did that… myself!
Because ‘do it myself!’ is how your child builds confidence and grows into her/his true self.
And off course… Because you can’t just keep saying everything over and over again.
We try to make your day a little less messy!

I lost my download link, where do I find it?
You can find your downloadables in your account. Log in and download them over and over again.
Need more help? Watch this howto about downloading your goodies.
Where can I find the free 'extra care' icons?
We believe that when your family has children that need extra care, you don’t need extra costs. That’s why we offer our extra care bundle for free when you buy another bundle. You can find the bundle in our shop. Put the extra care bundle in your basket and use code FREEBUNDLE.
Can I share the icons with my brothers family?
We’re sorry, that’s a hard no. We worked very hard on the icon sets and even provide free extra icons that buyers can suggest themselfs. We can’t offer this service when downloadable products are freely shared. We hope you understand and respect this.
I'm missing an icon? What can I do?
Need an illustration that is not in your bundle? Make a suggestion!
We will add the artwork for free if it is not already for sale as an individual item and we think your idea fits perfectly in the bundle.
We will let you know in our mailings when icons have been added.
Fill out the form you can find after clicking on your product download link.
Never bought a bundle? We love to hear your ideas. We frequently ask on our socials what you need. Please follow us and let us know!

Francien
Mom of three and master brain of Tumble Stone.
Life really is a hustle with 3 children running around. To make things a little less messy I started using icons and daily rhythm cards.
But most sets are not my style and incomplete. With the existing sets and their limitations, it still didn’t feel less messy.
I try to change that with Tumble Stone. Clean, complete and pretty icon sets!
Jannie
Practical designer with a love for educational visual communication.
As a former art teacher (children aged 6-18) and an art director I experience the power of visuals daily.
I’m a recovering mom with control issues. Thankfully my practical brain has helped me a lot with this issue. ‘Cause is it practical to control life with children? Oh boy no!
Is it possible to just ‘let things go’. You kidding me? Letting go as a lifestyle, doesn’t suit me. But being practical makes it easier to let go in parts of parenthood.
I hope I can make life a little less messy for families with practical Tumble Stone tools.
