From your child’s first day of life to approximately five years, 90% of their brain development occurs. Every sight, smell, sound and sensation makes an impact.
Growing Kind knows first-hand that while we are our children’s first teachers, we don’t all come with a toolkit, ready to use. We need help and guidance. That’s why we created ‘First Years of Life’ #sensoryplayprompts. To take the hard work away by providing you with well-researched activities that are safe for your baby to experience.
Using and practising these activities often, helps you to create an environment that provides opportunities for sensory stimulation and learning to help your baby’s brain develop. How awesome is that?
Each activity has been designed for babies and toddlers by early childhood specialists. There are 26 activities included in this pack.
Features include:
- 28 double sided cards with 26 inspiring activities and instructions.
- One side has a beautifully designed activity title, and the other includes the instructions/ recipes and benefit of each activity.
- Baby play and taste-safe recipes ideal for children 0-3 years.
- Printed on the 400gsm thick recycled card stock for grubby fingers.
- Printed on large 13x9cm card with rounded corners.
- Stored in a reusable bag made from sustainable materials.
Recommended for parents and early childhood educators for safe experiences for Birth to 3 years.

Packaging
As a company that loves our natural and sustainably made products we also try to be environmentally minded throughout the process of delivering them to you.
We shamelessly reuse shipping boxes and filler as much as possible. These have proven themselves to safely transport their contents to us and are still in great shape to bring them to you.
We also greatly encourage you to reuse them again, either for shipping or the ever-loved box car, house, drum, canvas, or whatever else you can imagine.
We always love seeing these creations!
