The Australian Alternative
You've Been Looking For
Lovevery doesn't ship well to Australia. Kinedu stops at age 6. There's now a better option — built here, for families like yours.
Great Brands. Not Quite Right for Australian Families.

Built for the Realities of Australian Family Life
Not adapted from an overseas product. Not translated from another culture. Built from scratch, in Perth, by an Australian early childhood teacher who's also a mum.
Seasonal activities aligned to the Australian calendar. Summer play in December. Autumn nature walks in April. Content that actually matches when you need it.
Every activity was created by Georgia — a qualified early childhood teacher with real classroom experience. Not a content team. Not an algorithm. A teacher who's also a mum.
Joyora feels like a beautifully designed magazine, not a medical app. Warm photography, earthy tones, and a voice that feels like advice from a trusted friend.
The only app covering the complete early childhood window — from sensory play for newborns to project-based learning for Year 2. You'll never outgrow it.
Every activity uses materials already in your home. No kit delivery. No waiting. No storage challenge. Just purposeful play, ready whenever you are.
The Milestone Vault, completion celebrations, streaks, and shareable memory cards make parenting feel visible, valued, and worth talking about.
$12.99 Per Month.
Worth Far More.
Here's what you get inside Joyora — and what it would cost to replicate it elsewhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is there a Lovevery alternative that ships within Australia?
Joyora is better than a Lovevery alternative — it's a digital subscription, so there's no shipping at all. You get access instantly on any device. At $12.99/month versus Lovevery's $35–40/month (plus international shipping), it's about a third of the price for twice the age range. And because it's Australian-made, the content is seasonally and culturally relevant to your family.
-
My child is 5 — am I too old for Kinedu?
Yes — Kinedu stops at age 6. If your child is approaching or has passed that age, Joyora covers the full 0–8 range, including the early primary school years (ages 5–8) that most activity apps completely ignore. Project-based learning, more complex recipes, and structured activities for school-age children are all inside Joyora.
-
What's the best kids activity app in Australia in 2026?
Joyora is Australia's first expert-designed play subscription built specifically for Australian families. Created by a qualified early childhood teacher in Perth, it covers children from birth to age 8 with activities, recipes, projects, and a Milestone Vault — all seasonally aligned to the Australian calendar. At $12.99/month, it's also the most accessible premium option available to Australian families.
-
I have children of different ages — will Joyora work for our whole family?
Absolutely — this is one of Joyora's biggest advantages. You can create multiple child profiles with different ages, and the app filters content for each child. Whether you have a baby and a 6-year-old, or twins at different developmental stages, Joyora grows with your whole family under one subscription.
