Are you ready to Play the Week Away?

Are you feeling bored with play time at home and worried baby might be too?

You’re following loads of play accounts on instagram but you just don’t feel like making another sensory bag that your baby will play with for 1 second.

Maybe you’re just not sure how to play with baby in ways that support their development too.

There’s all this talk of milestones though and you are feeling stressed about how to support them AND fit everything else into your day!

Playing with a baby should be easy right?

But you feel like you’re running out of ideas and there’s only so many more times you can shake a rattle and sing ‘wheels on the bus’ before you lose your mind.

Well mama, you’re in the right place!

We can help you enjoy play time

while supporting your baby's development

WALKY TALKY

Baby & Toddler

Our professional mission?

To help parents feel confident about supporting their child’s communication, gross motor and play skills in the early years. We started our online services because we wanted to help make the information we give to families every day in our clinical jobs more accessible to everyone.

We are mums ourselves,

we know how little time there is in the day.

Fitting in playtime with your baby can be tough in those early days, especially with an unsettled bub. Plus we know how monotonous playtime can feel, especially when your little bundle of joy isn’t giving you much back in those early months.

Putting our practice into practise!

Throughout our 15 years of working as a Physiotherapist and Speech Pathologist with babies and young children, we’ve tried and tested a fair few play activities in our time. With back-to-back appointments, we don’t have time for elaborate play set ups and often find that the more time we spend setting up a play activity, the less time baby actually spends playing with it.

Enter super simple play ideas that support gross motor and language development too.

Keeping it Simple

We love to keep play simple (actually we like everything else simple too) so you can spend more time really relishing and enjoying your baby's development. We want to help you understand more about the skills your baby's working on so you can enjoy them, that much more.

So if you’re ready to pimp yo’ play repertoire, we’re here for you.
