12mo–2y

Sort It

Parent and toddler sort objects by one attribute — colour or size. The agent coaches the parent to observe the child's ability to identify a shared property, group items accordingly, and explain their sorting logic.

2y–3y

Letter Safari

Parent and child hunt for letters in the environment — on signs, books, packaging, clothing labels. The agent coaches the parent to observe the child's letter recognition, interest in print, and understanding that letters carry meaning.

3y–4y

Why Machine

Parent encourages and explores 'why' questions with the child. The agent coaches the parent to observe the child's questioning habits, reasoning attempts, and how they handle answers that lead to more questions — building the academic skill of inquiry.

Thinking4y–6y

Kitchen Scientist — Does It Sink or Float?

Child conducts a simple kitchen experiment: testing whether different objects sink or float in water, and optionally what dissolves. The agent guides the parent to observe the child's ability to make predictions, observe carefully, draw conclusions from evidence, and use scientific vocabulary to describe results. Builds the foundations of scientific reasoning through hands-on inquiry.

Thinking6mo–12mo

Little Scientist

Parent observes baby's systematic exploration of objects — turning, mouthing, banging, dropping, comparing. The agent coaches the parent to recognise these behaviours as scientific inquiry: experimentation, observation, and hypothesis-testing in miniature.

Movement12mo–2y

First Marks

Parent offers crayons or finger paint and the agent coaches the parent to observe toddler's first mark-making — scribbles, dots, lines — as expressions of early aesthetic creativity and motor control.
