Find Your Child's Stage

Three questions, no email required. We'll point you to the shelf your child is ready for right now.

Until the interactive finder is live, use the quick guide below. Go by what your child is doing, not their birthday.

Babies

• Looks at faces and high-contrast shapes, grasps by reflex, not yet reaching on purpose → 0–3 months
• Reaches on purpose, brings hands and everything else to the mouth, rolling → 3–6 months
• Sits without help, bangs and drops things, looks for something you hid → 6–9 months
• Crawls or cruises, points, picks up small things with thumb and finger → 9–12 months

Toddlers

• Walking, first words, fits shapes into holes, wants to do it themselves → 1 year
• Pretends (feeds a doll, stirs a pot), two-word phrases, stacks and sorts → 2 years
• Tells stories, sorts by color and size, counts a few things, plays alongside others → 3 years

Preschool

• Plans a build, follows a pattern card, takes turns, asks "why" all day → 4–6 years
