From birth. PapaKoala has activities designed specifically for newborns (0-4 months). The earlier you start, the more developmental stages you'll enjoy. The app covers from birth to 36 months.
184 early stimulation activities organized into 16 thematic categories: Hearing, Vision, Touch & Fine Motor, Gross Motor, Constructor Mind, My Routines, Vertical World, First Connections, Discovering Limits, Free Drawing, Language Lab, Real World, Doing It Alone, Thinking Hands, Magical Worlds, and Emotional Superpowers. Activities for 0-12 months include a demonstration video; activities for 12-36 months include an illustration instead, to keep screens out of the baby's line of sight. All activities include a list of everyday household materials and clear step-by-step instructions.
Yes. All PapaKoala activities are based on child development research and neuroscience. The catalog includes bibliographic references for each activity.
PapaKoala organises activities into 6 stages: newborn (0-4 months), 4-8 months, 8-12 months, 12-18 months, 18-24 months, and 24-36 months. The app automatically detects the baby's stage from their date of birth and suggests the most suitable activity for that moment.
PapaKoala offers three options: annual subscription (includes a 7-day free trial), monthly subscription, and lifetime access (one-time payment). The monthly and lifetime options do not include a free trial. It is also available to nurseries and early years settings through school licensing.
