The way that children play changes as they learn new physical
and social skills. A newborn baby and an active toddler will play
very differently! 🛝🧸
Swipe through to see what playing might look like for your child
as they grow in the early years.
For more information and a longer list of physical milestones,
check your Blue Book.
And remember, all children grow and develop at different rates.
If you have any concerns, talk to your GP or local child and
family health nurse.
