  • Contrast Cards

Best introduced between 0-3 months.

In their first three months, babies can only see strong contrasts of dark and light. That’s why this PlayBox is full of beautiful black and white toys, carefully chosen to help your little one get to know the big wide world around them.

BLACK AND WHITE BOOK

Our 'Welcome To The World' introductory book is freestanding, foldable, and made of soft cotton. This black and white book is perfect for a baby's first six months, as the black and white images are designed to assist newborn eyes to focus and keep attention - great for mat time, changing time or out in the pram. 

  • Age recommendation: Newborn +
  • Size: 15cm x 15cm
  • Material: Made of cotton with soft filling.
  • Detail: 10 sides. Soft filling makes this book extra nice to hold and touch.
  • Development: Speech and language, Cognitive, Social and Emotional

    SENSORY CUBE

    This sensory cube might look simple, but to your new baby it’ll be fascinating. With different textures and contrasting black and white features, it has all the ingredients for an engaging activity and hours of fun. The cube’s fabrics, ribbon, and natural wood are made to encourage both fine and gross motor skills.

    • Size: 12cm x 12cm
    • Material: Made of polyester for easy cleaning. Wooden rings are finished with non-toxic, water-based varnish. The rings are not recommended as a teether.
    • Detail: There is a gentle rattling noise when shaken.
    • Development areas: Cognitive, Fine Motor, Gross Motor

    ROUND RATTLE

    This rattle was made for little hands to grasp and for little mouths to chew. Grabbing is a basic reflex that babies have from day one, so this rattle is ideal for newborns. Grasping helps babies learn to open and close their hands, which supports their budding fine motor skills.

    • Size: 9cm diameter
    • Material: Made with both beech wood and non-toxic, BPA free, and phthalate free silicone.
    • Detail: Makes a soft rattle sound when moved
    • Development areas: Cognitive, Fine Motor, Gross Motor

    ACTIVITY PENDANTS

    These super popular black and white activity gym toys will get your baby practising reaching up, building their hand-eye coordination and visual tracking skills. Even more, there is a little bell inside each one, which teaches cause-and-effect. 

    • Size: Hanging length 14cm. Width ranges 7-10cm
    • Material: 100% cotton outer and beech wooden ring
    • Detail: Set of 4. AS/NZ 8124 Safety certified.
    • Development areas: Cognitive, Fine Motor, Gross Motor

    BLACK AND WHITE CARDS

    Bold, high-contrasting, black and white patterns and shapes are proven to do a better job of promoting visual and brain development than bright colours. Designed for newborn babies, these double-sided high contrasting black and white pictures are great for your baby’s visual development.

    • Size: 10.5cm x 14.8cm
    • Material: The cards are 400gsm and durable. They come in a storage pouch for safe keeping
    • Detail: Six double-sided cards are provided per set.
    • Development: Speech and language, Cognitive

      Expert-curated – Our range of PlayBoxes and playthings has been created in collaboration with experts in early childhood education and child psychology.

      Age and stage-based play – We focus on offering the right play, at the right age and stage. This means age-appropriate playthings that bring the right stimulation at the right time. Maximising your little one’s learning opportunities during those all-important early days.

      Brain development for 0-2 years – This precious little age range is our target market and our core focus. Our PlayBoxes and playtime range cover all the bases, specifically targeting the 0-2-year-old’s five key areas of brain development: fine and gross motor skills, cognitive, speech and language, and social and emotional development. 

      Made for bonding - Those first 1,000 days are crucial bonding time for babies and the grown-ups in their lives. Our PlayBoxes are made to make the most of this special stage. They’re fun, interactive, and designed for both baby and parents to love.

      Research-backed – We’ve done the research, so you don’t have to. We take the guesswork out of finding the right playthings for the little one in your life’s exact age and stage.

      Quality – We believe in quality over quantity, and that less is more. We curate and create playthings that truly last.

      Safety - All our playthings are rigorously safety-tested. Our playtime range is made from baby-friendly materials and follows all applicable Australian/NZ safety guidelines (AS/NZS ISO 8124).

      A friend to the environment - We care about the world our little customers are growing up in. We make a big effort to choose baby toys that are ethically made and have a low impact on the environment.

      We’re in the business of play - We’re young at heart, and we live for play. We’ve fun-tested all of our playthings with 0-2-year-olds, and every one of them got two big thumbs up from the little ones.

      We care - You only want the best for your baby, and so do we. We care for our PlayLogy community like family. If you ever need help or have any questions, we’re always here for you.

      As a first-time parent

      As a first-time parent, this has been such a relief. I don’t have to spend hours researching or stressing over what my baby needs next—it saves me so much time and mental energy. Shopping for baby toys can be incredibly overwhelming with the sheer amount of options out there, but Playology makes it simple and stress-free.
      I’m super happy with our subscription, and most importantly, my baby absolutely loves and enjoys her playtime. You can really see the thought and intention behind every item. Highly recommend to any parent wanting purposeful, age-appropriate play without the overwhelm 💛

      Thank you so so so much! This honestly means the world to us. Cutest photos!!!!!

      Quality products and quick delivery just not

      Quality products and quick delivery just not highly affordable

      Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review! Always grateful as we know how busy life is. The cost is such a hard one to manage as safety testing, quality control and shipping wooden (heavier!) bulky items all mounts up :( we wish it wasn't such a costly process to get quality goods in the hands of beautiful parents and their little ones. With love, The PlayLogy Team

      Delighted with this product

      Delighted with this product. Our grandson was 7 weeks old when we ordered the 0-12 month subscription. It seemed to be perfect timing as when we slowly moved the rattle he followed it with his eyes. Tummy time at now 9 weeks old with the black and white book has his interest and he his holding his head up. The instructions are also very helpful. A beautiful product.

      Fun and educational takes the guess work out!

      Gus and I love getting our boxes every 2 months. I love that I know they are right for his age and then I have fun playing and helping him learn with them. It's a great tool for a 1st time mum for ideas

      Loved the Playboxes!

      I really loved the boxes and was excited to receive them. I think these boxes are a great gift for a first time parent who like me was a bit unsure on how to best support my baby's development particularly when they can’t speak yet. The quality of all the items is amazing.

      Great box

      My son is 19 months and he absolutely loves this box. This is one of those boxes where he loves playing with everything in it. very well curated box for a child around 18 months. He especially loves the emotions card and watching him make the little faces is the cutest.
