Baby's Month & Play

Welcome to your baby's 11–12 month activities! 👶

These are simple, screen-free activities for this month, set out week by week. Tap any activity to read what to do, tick it when done, and add a note if you like.

How to use: Aim for 1–2 activities a day. Play when baby is calm and happy, and stop if they get tired. Even a few minutes counts — and every baby moves at their own pace.

Week 1 is free. Enjoy these special moments together! 🌼

📅 Tip: These activities flow Monday to Saturday. Start on a Monday if you can — or begin any day and simply follow them in order!
