Welcome and What to Expect from this Course

Welcome to the Baby Play and Development Course

Welcome to this course, and congratulations on the new addition to your family.

The aim of the course is to provide you with a variety of techniques, activities and ideas that you can use to play, communicate and share special time with your new baby, while helping to boost his or her development in lots of different ways, and includes videos, audio files and downloadable information sheets to take you through each topic and activity step by step.

The course will introduce the following topics;

  • Baby Massage
  • Calming Techniques 
  • Body Awareness
  • Tummy Time
  • Sensory Play
  • Yoga Inspired Poses and Movement
  • Baby Sign Language
  • Plus songs and rhymes to complement some of these activities which you are able to download

You can get started straight away with the first class, and the bonus materials, and you will then receive a new lesson twice a week over a period of six weeks, giving you the opportunity to practice the different activities a few times before adding those from the next lesson.

All babies are, of course different and will like, dislike or respond in different ways at different times to each of the activities. These responses are likely to alter over time, so always go at your baby's pace, take a break when necessary, and experiment with, or adapt each activity to suit you and your child as they grow.

To make the most of the course you may be interested in some of the resources we have in the Tots Play Online Store, which include massage oil, the beach balls and foil blankets suggested for tummy time play, musical instruments and lots of sensory items to enhance your play times. You will also find Play at Home Packs.
