We know screens are everywhere these days, but too much screen time can affect how young children grow, learn, and connect with those around them. That’s why 50 things to do before you’re five have created Less Screentime, More Playtime—to help families like yours find simple, fun ways to spend less time in front of screens and more time playing together.
Why Play Matters for Your Child
Between birth and five years old, your child’s brain is developing fast. Play is one of the most important ways they learn skills like talking, solving problems, making friends, and being creative.
When children spend too much time on screens, it can get in the way of:
- Learning new words and communicating
- Building friendships and social skills
- Getting active and healthy
- Sleeping well and feeling good
By choosing play instead of screens, you’re helping your child grow strong in body, mind, and spirit.
