    STACKING CUPS

    This set of stacking cups is a delight. Stacking toys help develop both the body and the brain, improving fine motor skills and building connections and concentration. Stacking cups are a very versatile toy, and your baby will love discovering new and exciting ways to play with them as they grow and learn.

    BOX AND BALL DROP

    The box and ball drop is a simple and clever way to teach object permanence. This toy shows them that when they put the ball in the box, it’s still there – even if they can’t see it. This is also a great toy to support pincer grip development as they learn to open the drawer.

    • Size: 12cm x 12cm x 8.5cm (ball is 4cm)

    MIRROR BALL

    This reflective mirrored ball creates a stretched and distorted version of reality that your baby will find endlessly fascinating. The other-worldly reflective surface will help your baby discover reflection, light, shadow, temperature, and weight.

    • Size: 4.5cm
    • Material: Hollow, coasted stainless steel finish
    • Detail: This can be used with the Box and Ball Drop as well as on its own. Please note, due to the nature of stainless steel, there could be minor surface rubbing or scratches on this product.
    • Development areas: Cognitive, Fine Motor, Gross Motor, Social and Emotional

      BABY TAMBOURINE

      The tambourine is part of the percussion family of instruments. A long-time staple for any child’s toybox, it promotes listening, playful interaction, and sensory learning. These baby sized tambourines are a fun shape making it easy for your little one to hold and grip.

        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.

        Amazing gift!

        Gifted by grandma and our baby loves it. We attach the pendants to her pram and capsule when out and about and she loves looking up and now trying to reach up at them. Highly recommend for newborns! They are also great quality.

        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.
