Thanks so much for checking out Play & Seek! ❤️
I started building this web app when I was a full-time toddler mum; scribbling diagrams on the back of my daughter's old art, because I was fed up with doom scrolling social media to find a simple play idea to keep her engaged.
Since then my experiences as a parent evolved; and embracing PLAY as a tool and approach to life helped me go from constant overwhelm, to parenting with more calm, joy & connection. My mission for the app became so much clearer as a result!
What you’ll find inside:
Low prep play ideas to inspire open-ended play and build their independence (while you get some resetting time to yourself)
Playful ways to connect or pass the time together (without reliance on screens)
Parenting tools & playful approaches to help with everyday challenges (think toothbrushing battles, or leaving the house!)
Play-based learning through simple sensory play, literacy & STEM activities
Not to mention, play inspiration for your own inner child and nervous system (because calm starts with you!)
It really is like a pocket-size bestie for play ideas, wrapped in a minimal, lightweight and accessible user experience, designed with the busy & overwhelmed parent in mind. 🌿
I’d love to hear your feedback - what kind of ideas would you like to see more of?
And if you’re a parent or carer, what’s your biggest 'mental load' struggle right now?
This is truly a useful product 🙌 When you want to engage kids but don’t know how, this app comes to the rescue 🎉👏 You’ve done an amazing job 🌟

@christina_mcfarlane Thank you! I'm so glad you find it useful ☺️ Accessibility is so important to me - I even did user tests with mums with 3 year olds hanging off them at the cafe. If it was simple enough for them to use in that context, then it's a success! 😅

Wow I love this app! Truly takes the guess work out for this tired mum of how to keep my toddler entertained every day! So easy to navigate and low prep activities means I can get away with using whatever I have around the house. Thankyou for making parenting life that much easier! Amazing!
