Developmental Play
What is Developmental Play?
Developmental play is play that helps your child grow.
It’s the everyday exploring, pretending, building, moving, and connecting that strengthens their body, mind, and confidence.
Children don’t need special toys or complicated activities.
If they’re having fun, following their curiosity, and trying things out in their own way, they’re engaging in developmental play.
Developmental Play programmes nurture growth across developmental age bands. These programmes:
- Build foundations for movement, learning, emotional wellbeing, and social connection
- Provide caregivers with clear, engaging frameworks to continue play at home
- Allow for connection with other families
