Big ideas from everyday things.

Some of the best invitations to play are already in your home. Always choose materials that are safe for your child’s age.

Sort a little collection

Try large blocks, socks or safe kitchen utensils. Sort by colour, size or use, and let your child explain their own categories.

Build something unexpected

A cardboard box can become a home, a vehicle or a stage. Follow your child’s idea and ask what they would like to add.

Find a pattern

Clap, tap, clap, tap. Repeat a movement pattern together and invite your child to make the next one.

Tell a tiny story

Choose three familiar toys. Give them a problem, an adventure and a happy ending. Your child can tell it with actions as well as words.

Notice the world

Look out of a window or take a walk with a grown-up. Name colours, listen to sounds and draw something you noticed.
