Activities By Age
As children grow, they develop new skills and interests. Spending time together is a chance for them to discover something new. From ages zero to five, playing at home and in preschools gives kids a strong start for future learning, social-emotional development, and health.
We made some age-appropriate activity ideas to help your child grow and give them fun ways to learn and explore. Here are some ideas for activities for different ages.
Simple play helps babies grow! These activities help them learn to move, bond with you, and learn with their senses. This includes tummy time, soft music, and playing with toys.
Toddlers learn by playing! These fun activities help them talk, use their hands, and play with others. This includes stacking blocks, singing songs, and pretend play.
At this age, toddlers are curious and full of energy! These easy activities help build language motor skills, and get them used to playing with friends.
