Children learn through little things every day like talking, playing and going about your daily routine.

On this page you'll find lots of ideas and activities that you and your children can do together to help them learn. The activities teach a range of skills and are suitable for children from birth to 5.

For more tips and ideas to support your child's learning through everyday activities visit the NHS Better Health Start for Life website and the BBC's Tiny Happy People page.
