Play Setup Guide

You’ve got the cot, the pram, and 50 tiny onesies... but what happens when your baby is actually awake?

In the first 6 months, your baby’s brain makes over 1 million new neural connections every second. And the best place for that magic to happen isn't in an expensive battery-powered swing—it's right on your living room floor.

Created by paediatric therapists, The Baby Play Setup Guide gives you simple, zero-cost tweaks to set up your space so your baby can naturally build the strength they need to roll, sit, and crawl.

Visual Timetables 

This mini-guide teaches parents how to use simple, picture-based visual timetables to bring structure, routine, and direction to their baby or toddler’s day.

For younger babies, it helps parents organize daily goals and introduce early concepts like choices and "finished," while for toddlers, it grants a sense of control that eases smooth task transitions.

The included printable cards also make it easy to delegate caregiving duties to partners or relatives so parents can carve out much-needed time for themselves. If printing isn't an option, the system easily adapts using whiteboards, simple drawings, or actual everyday objects.
