15 Kids Activities with Birthday Cards, Boxes and Wrapping Paper
It’s more than a year since we’ve launched PlayMama App – the mobile app that helps you play early learning games with your baby. Initially created as an app for a mother with a baby, now it evolved into a family app – father, grandparents, nanny or even an older sibling can find ideas on how to play with younger kids, develop their early years’ skills which is so important for helping them grow into a confident, curious and intelligent person.
