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. 🏥
