Educational DVD series combining practical play activities and expert child development advice.

Children are born with a natural desire to play. It contributes to all areas of their milestone development - cognitive, physical, emotional and social. However parents are constantly feeling like they need to buy the latest expensive ‘learning’ toy even though there’s little scientific evidence that these toys boost IQ. Household items are highly beneficial for play because they teach your child to engage in creative play. If you provide your child with countless toys they don’t have to use their imagination – which lays the foundation for creative, emotional and intellectual development in the years to come!

Unrivalled in its scope and authority, packed full of invaluable advice from leading South African child development experts, the series provides practical play techniques which empower parents, nannies and childminders to have fun while learning together.

The Explore Play DVD series focuses on the first two years of a child’s development milestones and how you can help your child reach them through play.  Discover creative ideas for ways to include play in your day in a way that works for you and your baby or toddler. Our games will engage and delight while also ensuring free and spontaneous learning.

Within each year, chapters are used to highlight key developmental areas. Each chapter starts with an explanation of the child’s capabilities at that particular age, followed by an outline of developmental milestones.

Although the DVD has over 3 hours of content, you can take only 20 minutes to watch an age-specific chapter to gain inspiration and understand the correct techniques to help your child develop through play.  Even dad will find time to watch! Then encourage grandparents, childminders and domestic workers to watch too so that you have peace of mind that your baby or toddler is being appropriately stimulated while you’re at work.

The games are listed in four easy-to-use categories namely:
