Being a new mum is a whirlwind of emotions. It’s an incredible journey filled with love and joy, but it can also bring moments of exhaustion, frustration, and loneliness. You might be thinking you're the only one feeling all these things, but I promise - you’re not alone!

At Tots Play, we know how important it is to have a strong support system as a parent - a place where you can connect with others who truly understand, share advice, and are simply there for each other.

It’s not always easy to find that these days though, so that’s why we’re here to welcome you with open arms into our friendly, supportive community, where you can find and build those all important connections that make long days with your baby so much easier.

And when you do, you’ll also find fun, engaging classes where you and your baby can play, learn, bond, and grow together. With a mix of baby massage, yoga, sensory play, music, and more, you’ll enjoy special moments with your little one while building your own confidence as you navigate the joys and challenges that parenthood brings.

💛 We're here for you! Come and join us - book your class today at www.totsplay.co.uk.

Gathering a selection of instruments for them to explore is a great way for our Tots to experience different sounds, we can also help them to identify the sounds of different instruments in the songs they hear.💖

Can you help your tot play the instrument loudly and then softly? Can you play it together fast and then slow? Can you make the instrument sound different by playing it in different ways?

You can have so much fun at home with your little one just using simple musical instruments to engage them, and help them learn about all these different concepts, supporting their brain development too - and you just thought they were making a noise! xx

Play is essential for your child’s development, which is why everything we do at Tots Play is based around it (it’s even in our name!) ❤️

The urge to play begins when a child is born and lasts until adulthood. Babies, toddlers, children and teenagers have a natural instinct to play and be playful 😁

Children need different types of play at different times to match their development stage and ability though. A play experience might be easy for one child but challenging for another, but the process of play allows creativity and problem solving skills to develop.

As your baby grows into a toddler you might be wondering, what’s the best way to play with them?

Well, there are lots of ways, and this is such a fun time to really get involved in their playful world. 🥳

Children begin to really explore and discover their surroundings when they’re between one and two years old. Most will take their first steps and add movement to their play during this time. They enjoy repetition and are very curious about the world around them. While they’re able to play a little by themselves they prefer playing with parents or other adults.

Some great activities for children around this age include:

- movement games, singing, dancing, action rhymes
- push along and push and pull toys,
- posting games, filling and emptying containers
- exploring natural materials
- using fat crayons or chalks to write on large pieces of paper on the floor
- jumping in puddles, water play, messy and sensory play

As they get a little older, and more independent they'll want to climb, balance, run and test what they can do. By supporting and encouraging your child to do things for themselves, in a safe environment, they develop self-confidence and resilience, as well as honing their new skills.

Things to try with older toddlers and pre-schoolers could include:

- balancing, jumping, hopping, stopping and starting,
- music and dancing
- playing match, sort and find games
- using crayons, paints and chalks
- baking, gardening, hanging out washing
- ride on toys

Introducing your toddler to lots of different types of play and seeing what engages them the most, is a great way to learn more about their unique personality, and then support them in developing those interests the next time you play.

At Tots Play our toddler classes are carefully planned to create the perfect balance of structured activity & free play opportunities to allow for lots of different types of learning, and, of course, even more fun! 🥰🥰

You’ll also pick up ideas for activities that you can do together at home throughout the week, so you can carry on with your little ones favourites too.

Head to www.totsplay.co.uk to book your class today, and let's play and learn together! xx

Babies are social creatures, and they love to make friends!

Bring them to classes are a great way for your baby to meet other around the same age and experience those first interactions with them - it’s an experience they gain so much from. ❤️

At our Discovery Tots classes, not only will you and your baby find a wide range of fun activities, specially designed to support their development, but also the opportunity for those little ones to start making connections with each other too. In fact, at their first few classes they are likely to find the other babies more fascinating than anything else, which is always lovely to watch! 🥰

Come and give it a try for yourself. Head to www.totsplay.co.uk/find-a-class to book a class today and help your baby make some new friends! xx

It's Natural Wonders Week!🌱🌼
We'll be exploring lots of natural objects this week in class.
A great idea for playing at home is making a natural objects basket, using lots of items you can find around the house or out on a walk!🌳
Babies can hold, smell, and examine the objects as they learn about different weights, sizes, textures, colours and more. Not only is it fun for your baby to explore, but it's also fun for older children to find things together!
Some simple ideas to include are pine cones, sponges, wooden spoons, leaves and sticks.
Why not have a go at making your own?🌻
