We want to help you experience play in a way that’s no longer random, but strategic! To do that, we want to make sure you’re equipped and encouraged as you step into a new season of helping your little(s) increase their language and learning.

So you’ve got your play guide. Now what?! Getting started just might be the hardest part. We get excited and motivated, we make the purchase, and then when our “life-changing product” arrives, we sometimes slow down or stall out.

We don’t want you to do that!

We want you to get you over that initial hurdle of getting started because we know that once you do, you’ll start learning how to make play time a learning experience. You’ll deepen your connection with your child, see growth, and be motivated to keep going! (If you need a quick reminder of how our past users have benefited from using the play guide, scroll down.)

here are some quick resources to help you!

Know yourself. Do you like structure or do you prefer to keep things flexible? We talk about this in the guide and give you options on how you can start right away for both!
Need a pep talk? Read this post for tips on how not to overthink it.
We learn by doing! Pair our play guide with the Play Calendar by implementing one of the strategies with that day’s activity.
Track your time for a week. Getting a better idea of how we spend our time can teach us so much about ourselves. Get the worksheet + answer the 3 simple questions here.
Every month, we share resources, research, and play hacks in our ETP family newsletter to encourage and motivate you.
Check out our Instagram for the “How We Play” posts like this one for quick inspiration. The more we learn, the more ready we feel to try something new or keep going.
If you still have any questions, don’t hesitate to email us at elevatetoddlerplay@gmail.com We’d love to help!
