We believe play is as important to your child's development as good food or maybe even love! All these play ideas are based on everyday things you have in your home (like pens and cardboard boxes) so it won't cost you much to have a great time . Our ELC Play Tips cards are now available for kids 0-2 years. Each is a pack of cards filled with simple play ideas to keep you and the kids having fun. Check out some of our play ideas below.

At Early Learning Centre, we know as well as you how important play is to helping children develop into happy, confident adults. And for over 30 years, we've been creating early years toys that stimulate, educate and inspire children. To help you find the right toy we have also created early learning icons. These icons show you the key skills that our toys help children develop.
