Children learn by playing and having fun from early infancy. Young children develop cognitive, creative, emotional and physical skills through different types of play that are age-specific. For example, infants learn to control large and small muscle groups by grasping and batting at dangling objects. When they have better developed motor skills, they may become more interested in verbal or imaginative games that help them with their language and creative skills.

You can help your child maximize his or her development by making age-appropriate toys and games readily available. The Fisher-Price Playcare Age by Age Playtime Guide was designed to help parents and childcare providers understand how a child’s play is linked to his or her stage of physical, intellectual, and psychological development.

Follow the guide on the right-hand side to learn about your child’s development and how you can help him or her get the most out of playtime.
