BE HONEST
Sound familiar?
You hand over the phone because you need ten quiet minutes.
You’ve run out of ideas to keep your toddler engaged — and it’s only 10am.
You don’t want every new activity to mean buying another toy.
You search for activities, save them… and never actually use them.
You want more real play and connection — you just need simple ideas.
If you nodded at any of these, you’re in very good company.
You don’t need more screen-time guilt.
You need better alternatives.
“If you have ever handed your toddler a phone just to get dinner on the table, you are not alone. Screens are everywhere, and they are easy. This book is not about guilt.”

SAFETY FIRST
Play should be fun — and safe
Toddlers explore with their whole bodies, including their mouths. The book opens with clear safety rules that apply to every activity, and individual cards carry their own safety notes.
- Always superviseEvery activity needs an adult nearby and paying attention.
- The toilet-roll testA simple check for choking hazards before anything goes in a tub.
- Water needs full attentionStay within arm’s reach and empty basins straight after play.
- Food & allergiesSkip any food-based activity your child is allergic or sensitive to.
- Cords & stringsSupervise string, ribbon and laces, and keep them away from necks.
- Grown-up tools stay with grown-upsScissors, knives, stoves and hot water are for adult prep only.
- Mind slippery floorsUse towels, carpet or the outdoors for water, soap and bubbles.
- Inspect homemade toysCheck bottles and shakers for loose caps or tears every time.
Please note: Activities are intended for children roughly 12–36 months and require responsible adult supervision. The book provides general play ideas and is not medical or developmental advice. If you have concerns about your child’s health or development, please speak with your paediatrician.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What age group is this book for?
Toddlers roughly 12 to 36 months (ages 1–3). Each activity shows the youngest age it usually suits, like “12m+” or “2y+”. Every child develops at their own pace, so treat the ages as suggestions, not rules.
What kinds of activities are included?
Eight kinds of play: sensory play, fine motor activities, movement games, process art, pretend play, early learning (colours, shapes, counting and words), real-life helping jobs, and music, stories and calm-down activities.
Do I need to buy special materials?
No. The activities use things most homes already have — pots and pans, cardboard boxes, socks, pasta, water, paper and tape. The Home Play Kit checklist helps you see what you’ve got, and you can swap freely for whatever’s to hand.
How much preparation do the activities need?
Most take less than five minutes to set up, and some need none at all. Every card shows a setup time. A few, like Frozen Toy Rescue, need something prepared the night before — the card tells you.
Are the activities messy?
Some are, many aren’t. Every activity is labelled Low, Medium or High mess, and the Quick Picks include a “Low mess, low stress” list. The book suggests saving high-mess play for before bath time or outdoors.
Can I use it with my younger toddler?
Yes. Look for activities marked “12m+”, and there’s a Quick Picks list of activities that are great for young toddlers (12 months and up). Older toddlers enjoy the younger activities too.
Is this a physical book or a digital eBook?
It’s a 54-page digital eBook (PDF). Read it on your phone, tablet or computer, or print it at home. It’s licensed for the personal use of the purchaser.
How will I receive the eBook after payment?
As soon as your payment is complete, you’ll be taken to a download page where you can save the PDF straight away. If anything goes wrong, email us at {{ supportEmail }}.
Is this a medical or developmental guide?
No. The book offers general play ideas and is not medical or developmental advice. If you have concerns about your child’s health or development, please speak with your paediatrician.
Do I need to do all 100 activities?
Not at all — not even one a day. As the book says, pick one that suits your mood, your energy and what’s in your cupboard. A few minutes of happy, engaged play is a success.
Less searching. Less scrolling. More playing.
100 simple ideas are waiting inside.
