We’d love to hear from you.
How can I support my baby’s development every day?
Your attention is a good place to start: talk to your baby, respond to their sounds and give them time to discover things for themselves. Choose games that follow their interests and take breaks when they get tired or restless. There’s no need for a fixed development program.
BIÖG: Play and movement with little ones ↗What ages is Playtime for?
The app is for parents with children from 2 months to 4 years. The play ideas on this website are a first place to start. Ages are always a guide: what matters is what interests your child and what they can safely do right now.
Do we need special toys?
