0m+/ Stage 1 - Born to Learn

At this time babies are adjusting to life in the world. Most of each day will be spent sleeping but with increasing periods of time awake. Babies are totally dependent on you for their basic needs. As babies grow and spend more time awake they become more alert to what is happening around them. At this stage, crying is a normal and natural way that babies communicate their needs.

Stage 1 is about stimulating baby’s senses. It features toys that have sounds and music, patterns and contrasting bright colours. The senses of sound and smell are fully developed at birth. As your baby awakes to the world, vision increases and attractive mobiles above the bassinette and change tables catch baby’s full attention.

3m+/ Stage 2 - Stimulating Sensory Development

Babies are now becoming their own person. They are very excited about the world. Everything they see is of interest and they are developing curiosity about their surroundings. At this time babies like to be in places they know with people then know.

Stage 2 is about encouraging discovery. It features toys that have patterns, shapes, textures and sounds. Babies explore the environment visually, as well as through touch, smell and hearing.  They are attracted to brightly coloured objects, toys within reach, toys of different textures, toys which make different sounds when touched and toys which can be grasped and taken to the mouth to explore further.

6m+/ Stage 3 - Motor Development and Interactive Play

Babies are becoming more excited and intensely curious about the world as they become more independently mobile. They are now on the move and are getting into everything, but will keep an eye on the people around them. They like to have mother/carer close by.

Stage 3 is about exploring and developing. It features toys that encourage dropping, rolling and shaking whilst push and pull toys provide delight and education. Many babies can now maintain a sitting position so exploring through touch and doing things with ones hands becomes a favoured activity. Now babies are rolling over and some are attempting to move over on their tummies.

12m+/ Stage 1 - Goal-Oriented Play

Children are now walking and pleased to be out with the big kids, but they still need constant care and attention. Seemingly independent, they venture out alone, but keep an eye on those around them. They can watch, listen and take part in the social life of the family, and be an active listener.

Stage 4 is about encouraging imagination and play. It features toys that stack, open and close, can be put in and taken out, products that heighten awareness and coordination. With lights and sounds as rewards, characters, and stories, your baby is encouraged to explore and participate. Playgro™ toys at Stage 4 are interactive, respond to touch in some way, are multifunctional and have lasting appeal.
