For parents and carers, babies, and children aged 3 to 12 months to learn together through:

•	playing 
•	listening
•	talking
•	singing
•	sharing books

Share ideas and simple, low-cost activities that support your child’s learning in everyday life.  It’s also a great way to get to know other families. 

Your baby or child will learn so much from you, as you chat, play, sing, cuddle, and do all your usual daily activities. 

Research shows that things you do together have a big impact on how children's brains develop in these early years, and on how they get on at school and in later life.
