My First Five Years Toddler

If you're a busy parent looking for fresh, playful ideas to support your toddler's learning and development, look no further!

Written by renowned childcare experts at My First Five Years, the popular parent support app, this unique book explains the why behind different types of play and provides 60 activities designed to support your toddler's physical, social and emotional development.

The My First Five Years team defines 'toddlerhood' as 'beginning the moment that your child pulls themselves to standing and takes their first steps', and this book supports you right from this point up until you're starting to think about sending them to school. The book covers six streams of development - social and emotional, gross motor, fine motor, sensory, language and cognitive - and each chapter includes a summary of the underlying science followed by simple, fun and low-cost play ideas you can do at home with your child. From pizza portraits to 'whose voice is that?', the ideas fit neatly into daily life and focus on turning play into a solid foundation from which all learning grows. There are also QR codes featured throughout, linking to free additional related content.

Beautifully colour illustrated and full of tips and advice, this book is perfect for supporting your toddler's development, health and wellbeing.

'By far the best app I have used to help me support and understand my daughter's development. I love the gentle suggestions for moving learning and skills on in such a natural, playful way. Thank you!' - Praise for the My First Five Years app
