What you can use today
The planning prompts, short guide and printable worksheet are for adults caring for children aged 2–5. They organize time and materials. You choose the activity and check whether it suits your child and circumstances.
The first story is a draft, and the activity pack is in development. There is no finished film or activity pack to buy yet. Everyday Play Notes is a working name.
Sources and our own ideas
We use sources to keep general statements about play grounded. We distinguish those statements from our own planning suggestions. The 5-, 10- and 20-minute choices and the setup/together/cleanup split are examples we designed, not developmental targets.
- AAP / HealthyChildren: The Power of Play — general context on play, ordinary materials and adult involvement; updated May 3, 2023.
- NAEYC: 10 Things Every Parent Should Know About Play — general context on making time for play.

Your notes and privacy
This preview has no account, email signup, checkout or analytics. Planning choices appear in the worksheet link. Typed worksheet notes stay in the open page and are not submitted or saved by us; refreshing the page clears them. Print or save your copy if you want to keep it.
Keep names and sensitive details out of the worksheet. The Kanit font is hosted with this site. External source links take you to other websites with their own privacy practices.
