COVID-19 means that young children must stay at home. Parents and caregivers can use the activities and tips in our every week counts section to support children to play and learn while at home.

Young children’s brains grow very quickly! That is why it’s so important that all young children have daily opportunities to do things that will help them learn and develop.

The activities below are aimed at children between the ages of 3 and 5 years-old, but older children might enjoy them too. We will be adding new materials regularly so keep checking back. These activities are also available in all South African languages. Select your language preference below for other languages.
