TinySteps: Daily Development

Daily Play Ideas, Ages 0-3

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

One research-backed play idea a day for your baby or toddler. Personalized by age. Done in 5 minutes with stuff you already have. No screen time. No overwhelm. You're doing enough. Let us prove it — one play idea at a time. TinySteps gives you one research-backed developmental activity each day, personalized to your baby or toddler's age. Five minutes. No prep. No guilt. Just you and your little one, doing something that actually matters. YOU'RE NOT FALLING BEHIND Here's what nobody tells new parents: five minutes of intentional play is more powerful than an hour of wondering if you're doing enough. Every developmental milestone your child hits started with a small moment — a silly face, a crinkled piece of paper, a song at bath time. You're already giving them what they need. TinySteps just makes it easier to see. HOW IT WORKS Open the app. See today's daily play idea — picked for your child's exact age and stage. Follow the clear, step-by-step instructions using things you already own. Tap how it went. Done. Come back tomorrow for something new. One activity per day. That's the whole thing. EVERY ACTIVITY HAS A WHY We don't just tell you what to do — we show you the science behind it. Every activity is linked to real developmental research so you understand what your child is building. No vague parenting advice. Real sources. Real reasons. SIX DEVELOPMENTAL DOMAINS TinySteps covers the full picture of early childhood development: • Fine motor — grasping, stacking, tearing, drawing • Gross motor — tummy time, crawling, walking, jumping • Cognitive — problem-solving, cause and effect, sorting • Language — babbling, first words, building sentences • Social-emotional — bonding, empathy, managing big feelings • Sensory — textures, sounds, movement, sensory play The app automatically balances between domains so your child gets play-based learning across all areas — no planning required. BUILT FOR PARENTS WITH NO TIME • 5 minutes — not 30, not an hour, just 5 • One daily activity — no decision fatigue, no endless scrolling • No special supplies — plastic cups, towels, paper, stuff you have • Screen-free play for your child — this app is for you, not your toddler • Research-backed — every activity grounded in developmental science • Age-appropriate — from newborn through age 3, activities grow with your child TRACK THEIR GROWTH (PREMIUM) See the full picture of your journey together.
