Encouraging play time with your little one
Encouraging play time with your little one Playtime with your children is one of the most powerful ways to contribute to your child’s development. It is so important to have these playful interactions with your little one early on in the Newborn stage. To build a connection between you and your Newborn this form of interaction doesn’t require much more than using your face, voice and body to keep them entertained. You will begin to learn more about one another and start to see you baby’s personality come to light. You may feel in the beginning as if this form of play is a little one sided, however through these interactions you are helping with their cognitive and sensory development. They are beginning to build connections in their brains which will help them to understand different words. Beginning by making funny faces and smiling, singing, telling nursery rhymes, and reading to them are all the simplest and most effective ways to interact with baby. Introducing your baby to new materials that they can touch and move around is another great way to stimulate their brains. Allowing them to do things as simple splashing around water during bath time is a great way of helping them to explore their senses. During these early stages of development you are the most important tool for your baby’s entertainment however Dimples also sells a range of interactive toys in various forms to aide when it comes to play time between you and your little one. Toys to add when it is play time. The Jelly Cat books follow delightful little characters through a variety of different stories. Story time with your little one is a great way to interact and stimulate their mind. Changing the pitch and tone of your voice will help with baby making different connections in their brain. Play time can require a lot of energy for baby so you will notice they can quickly get tired. Baby will signal they are getting tired by looking away from you, they may become disinterested or even grumpy. After your baby is rested, they will signal when they are ready to play again by looking towards you, making noises as well was wiggling their arms and legs about. Evolving play time as your child grows As baby grows up, they are learning more every day. They are beginning to develop new skills therefore it is important to evolve your playtime routine. Between the ages of one and two your toddler will begin to explore the world and will begin to gain more of an idea on how things work. During this age it is great to have a balance between structured and unstructured play. Unstructured play is allowing your child to explore what strikes their own interest. It is through unstructured play where you will learn the most about your child and what they are attracted to. Here it is best to take a step back and watch your little one’s imagination grow. Structured play is a great way for you child to learn in a more organised setting, this may involve activities such as swim lessons, musical groups, dance classes. Structured play will help to broaden your toddler’s knowledge and physical skills, this often takes part within a group setting. Play within a social setting is important as it helps to develop social and communication skills as well as teach them about sharing. It is a good idea when buying toys to keep you little one entertained to consider buying toys that are educational, therefore you are ensuring that not only are they having fun but they are also expanding their knowledge. Dimples offers a range of educational yet entertaining toys to make sure you little one’s mind is always learning. The Stacking Ring Tower from Mushie is made from 100% non-toxic BPA and phthalate free plastics, they help to refine bubs organisational and motor skill all while being fun for them to play and engage with. Screen time is an important factor to be aware of. Putting your child in front of a screen is an easy solution when needing to keep your little one entertained so you can get certain tasks done. However, it important to consider balance when it comes to how much screen time you are allowing you child to have. Screens only show a two-dimensional world, it doesn’t offer the same sensory experience that you child will gain when they are out and about. Play time away from the screen allows your child to explore all five senses and use their imagination, you will notice their knowledge broadening quickly the more they venture into the world.

Healthy Eating - Kids in the kitchen
Kids in the kitchen – building a foundation of health I am hugely passionate about building a strong foundation of health for children, so that they don’t spend a large chunk of their lives attempting to undo bad habits or with chronic health conditions. One really impactful way to do this is to teach them how to cook nutritious home cooked meals from scratch. This builds confidence in the kitchen and is an incredibly valuable life skill to have so that when they eventually leave home they know how to cook and won’t need to rely on takeaways and nutritionally poor foods. It is also a really nice way to mindfully spend time with your children in a way that is really fun for the whole family. There is continually more emphasis being placed on the importance of teaching children to eat healthy nutritious foods, due to the prevalence of childhood obesity, the behavior and learning implications of nutritional deficiencies and obesity related health issues. Did you know that one in nine of our New Zealand children are classified as being obese? Our childhood obesity rates really highlight the importance of education for children about nutrition and how to cook homemade meals. As a parent it is often a battle to get children to eat healthy foods, they are inundated with advertising and clever marketing that promotes and encourages less than ideal foods, such as sugar laden cereals and juices with their favorite cartoon characters, or sports heroes on the packaging. It is everywhere you look, and in our busy modern society takeaways have become the norm and not just a treat anymore. As a busy mum of four myself I have felt plenty of mum guilt at times for looking for easy meal options that aren’t as nutritious as I would like out of time constraints and food preferences of my children. Thankfully now I have a far less idealistic view on nutrition for my family and realise that there is no such thing as being the perfect Mum and that it is perfectly healthy for families to also have treat foods, and to enjoy them occasionally without guilt while ensuring majority of the time they are eating well. Teaching my own children, and others at a local primary school how to cook different meals has been a really rewarding experience. Children love to learn through ‘doing’ and are far more receptive to trying new foods when they are involved in the cooking process. One of my favorite things to do it to write a list of their favorite foods, this is very predictable with kids and generally consists of pizza, burgers and fries then discuss how we can make these foods at home and what we can do to add in extra nutrients. For example, Pita pizzas with different herbs, vegetables and homemade pizza sauce, burger patties with mince and grated vegetables, hand cut and oven baked kumara fries etc. You can make this really fun by making a recipe together, formulating a shopping list and letting them help find the ingredients, my three-year-old loves this! There are so many great cookbooks and websites that offer great ideas and tips these days. Some of my favorites include. A great resource for all things vegetables including nutritional information, preparation tips, and educational resources https://www.vegetables.co.nz/ A great resource of recipes & children’s goal setting charts for healthy eating https://www.healthykids.org.nz/ A personal favourite for lots of delicious kid friendly nutritious recipes would have to be Nadia Lim’s Kid section on her website https://nadialim.com/?sfid=974&_sft_meals_courses=kid-friendly For my older boys one activity that they really loved from around the age of five was picking a country, then looking for one of their traditional dishes and cooking it. The most loved one that was often repeated was Mexican fiesta night with tacos, pepitas and guacamole. This is a really fun way to get children in the kitchen and trying new foods. I have also found meal subscriptions like HelloFresh great for the older kids as everything they need including a simple recipe card is all included. They get really excited when they are making dinner themselves and it creates a huge feeling of accomplishment in them and also as a mum! Other skills that are strengthened when it comes to cooking with children include basic maths in younger children through counting and measuring. This also builds communication and language skills by discussing ingredients and recipes. Pre-schoolers are well known for being fussy eaters, encouraging them to explore different foods and textures by involving them in meal time preparation can really help to broaden their palate. You can also talk about how healthy foods help us to grow and the differences between different foods such fruits and vegetables, or for older children carbohydrates, protein and fats. This can also be a great time to explore mindful eating by engaging the difference senses during food preparation. Exploring the different appearances, textures, smells, tastes and sounds of food, exploring this is a wonderful way to be engaged for children and parents Most importantly have fun with it, you’re teaching your children an incredibly important life skill that will benefit them for years to come, instilling independence and not to mention eventually some time out from cooking yourself – win,win! Kylie Stowe @melawholefoods Pita Pizza Serves 4 This is a firm favorite amongst my children and was also one of the most loved in my kids cooking & nutrition classes. It is really fun to head to your local farmers market on the weekend and let the kids pick some different ingredients to try, it is also a great way to learn about the different seasons when different produce is available. The recipe below is for a basic pita pizza as a guide but have fun with this and let the kids build their own and try new things. Ingredients - 4 wholemeal pita - 4 tbsp of tomato paste - 2 handfuls of basil leaves - 16 cherry tomatoes - 1 sliced smoked chicken breast - 1 sliced capsicum - 1c of mozzarella cheese Method 1. Preheat the oven to 180c fan bake, and line a baking tray with baking paper. 2. Place the pita bread on the tray, top with tomato paste, then basil. Equally arrange the other ingredients on the pita. Top with cheese. 3. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden. Enjoy! These are really nice served with salad.

Toys for age, stage and type
Choosing Toys or Gifts They'll Love What might look like messy play or mindless rattling is actually serious business for your baby. From day one, they’re learning through movement, touch, sound, and – yes – smearing food on every available surface. Play is how your little one makes sense of the world, so choosing toys that match their stage of development can really help them thrive. Here’s a simple guide to what kinds of toys to look out for during each phase of your baby’s exciting journey. 0–6 Months: The First Explorer Your newborn may be tiny and still figuring out the basics, but their brain is already hard at work. Even in the early days, babies can recognise voices and slowly begin to track faces (though not quite in focus at first). At this stage, look for toys with high-contrast patterns and simple shapes – a mobile over the cot is ideal for visual stimulation and encouraging early motor skills as they start to reach out. A fun activity gym is amazing for development and early hand eye coordination as well. Suckling is another important reflex to support, so having safe teething toys can help build strength in their mouth muscles – which later supports chewing and speech. We stock a super fun range of teething toys at Dimples. Babies also love the sound of your voice, so don’t hesitate to chat away, sing, or start reading aloud. Soft crinkly activity books are a great addition as they are very visually interesting to your little one, as well as a high contrast board book. 6–12 Months: The Little Scientist As your baby gets stronger, tummy time becomes key for building neck and upper body strength. Use an engaging play mat to make tummy time fun and motivating. Around six months, proper teething often begins, so toys they can safely chew are your best friends – easing discomfort while supporting oral development. At this stage, babies are all about discovery – they’re working on sitting up, crawling, grasping, and even pulling themselves to stand. Toys that support these physical leaps are ideal. Look for soft balls to encourage rolling and crawling, stacking toys for building early coordination, and activity cubes or busy boards with things to twist, slide, and push. Toys that respond with sound or light when touched can also be hugely exciting (and educational), helping babies connect cause and effect. And don’t forget the classics – things that crinkle, rattle, or squeak are still crowd-pleasers and support sensory development beautifully. 12–18 Months: The Creative Genius You’ve made it through the first year – what a milestone! At this age, many little ones are eager to master walking. A sturdy walker toy can support their balance and leg strength as they wobble around with pride. Fine motor skills also start taking centre stage. Now that your little one is on the move and growing more curious by the day, toys that support exploration, movement, and problem-solving are ideal. Push-and-pull toys like the classic Buzzy Bee or this cute crocodile pull along are perfect for developing balance and coordination as they become more confident on their feet. Large building blocks or stacking rings help improve fine motor skills and spatial awareness. This is also a great age for toys that encourage interest in pretend play – think toy phones, baby dolls, animal figurines, or mini tea sets. Musical instruments like tambourines, shakers, or xylophones are not only fun but also help with rhythm and sensory processing. Chunky crayons are also great for encouraging early scribbles – and those early masterpieces might earn a spot on your fridge. As their vocabulary starts to form and their understanding of language grows, this is the perfect time to keep those conversations flowing. Reading together, singing songs, and chatting about what you’re doing throughout the day helps build their language skills and connection to you. Even if they’re not saying much just yet, they’re absorbing it all – storing up words, rhythms, and tones to use later. 18–24 Months: The Big Personality Welcome to toddlerhood – where the big personality really comes through! At this stage, your child is becoming more independent, showing clear preferences, and beginning to express their likes and dislikes. You might notice them choosing to play solo more often, or forming strong attachments to certain toys, books, routines, or even characters from stories and shows. This is also when pretend play really starts to blossom. Role-playing everyday scenarios – like cooking dinner, feeding a doll, or making a pretend phone call – is not only adorable, it’s an important part of social and emotional development. A toddler-sized kitchen set is a fantastic toy at this age, encouraging imaginative storytelling and helping little ones mimic the world they see around them. One of these Kitchen Helpers let your toddler safely join you at the counter, fostering independence and fine motor skills. By involving them in simple kitchen tasks, you’re nurturing their creativity and boosting their confidence in a hands-on way. Beginner puzzles are also a great choice to foster problem solving skills – Particularly ones with familiar objects such as this zoo puzzle, or this vehicle puzzle. At this age, play becomes more purposeful – every stack, stir, and story is helping your little one make sense of the world and build skills for the future. Go at Their Pace Every baby develops at their own rhythm. Some skip crawling and go straight to walking. Others might take their time with speech while still communicating effectively in their own way. It’s tempting to compare, but there’s a wide range of normal. If you’re ever concerned, have a chat with your GP or child health nurse. Most importantly, be kind to yourself. You're doing an incredible job raising a one-of-a-kind little person. And remember – the best toy of all is you. Your love, voice, and presence are what your baby cherishes most ❤️

Newborns & Sleep: What to Expect and Survival Tips
Bringing a new baby home is one of life’s most beautiful - and exhausting - adventures. In this blog, Family Sleep & Wellness Coach, Lauren Moran from Little Dreamers, shares her expert advice on newborn sleep in the fourth trimester. With a warm, realistic approach, she helps parents feel empowered, informed, and supported through those early weeks, offering practical tips for creating a nurturing sleep environment and caring for yourself, too. Newborns and Sleep By Lauren Moran from Little Dreamers https://www.littledreamers.co.nz/ Instagram: @little.dreamers.nz Congratulations parents! Whether this is your first or fourth bubba in your beautiful family, there is so much that can still feel overwhelming (or it’s a memory you’ve blanked out from last time!), but we are here to reassure you in those early days. Also known as the fourth trimester, those first 12 weeks following birth while trying to navigate your baby’s feeding and sleeping patterns can be quite the whirlwind. This blog is designed to help empower you, educate you, and normalise newborn sleep so that you feel confident to understand and support your little love. Let’s start this journey with “there is no such thing as bad habits when it comes to supporting your baby”. Yes, you heard that right! No such thing. Forget what social media, society or family/friends tell you. You do what works best for you and your family. There may come a time when those ways no longer work for you, which is totally fine, and we can change that. As you step into this new season remember you are nothing short of amazing and your little one is lucky to have you. Sleep is not only a necessity for your baby, but also you! We all need it. Sleep enables the body to repair itself, replenish those energy levels and regulate brain functions. When I have had more sleep, I feel like a better person showing up for myself and my family. It positively impacts our emotional and physical well-being too. So what can you expect in that fourth trimester? It is a busy, yet wonderful whirlwind of events that can bring about so much change both physically and emotionally. Feeling like you need to just cry? Go for it! Don’t know why? Many of us don’t! Your littlest love is adapting to life earthside and you are recovering from growing them and bringing them into this world. Offering love, care and comfort is exactly what’s needed for you both. With emotions running at an all-time high, it is important to focus on yourself too. I vividly remember my post-natal midwife coming for her first appointment and the first thing she said was that she was there for me. As a first-time mum I was slightly confused as I thought she would be looking at my daughter and making sure she was okay – and she did just that, but also had her focus on me. It is incredibly important to prioritise self-care during this time. That fourth trimester can be so overwhelming so making sure you prioritise your own body and mind will be key. It certainly may come with a feeling of guilt, just know that these are all very normal feelings & thoughts. Self-care is a necessity, not a luxury, for you both. So what can you focus on in the early days in terms of sleep? Let’s start with sleep environment. Laying some healthy foundations from the get go will not only aid in easier settling but also support your baby to stay asleep and get those much needed zzzz onboard: ● Darkness - When our little one enters a dark room, their bodies start to produce melatonin (sleepy hormone). This hormone is produced in the pineal gland and fluctuates throughout the day and night. Ensuring a dark sleep space will help your baby flood themselves with sleep hormones and support settling and restorative sleep periods. ● White noise - This is a fantastic tool to use within their first 18m of life. It replicates those sounds heard in the womb, which in those early days bring them safety and comfort. It can also drown out any noises outside the bedroom that might startle or wake them. It also creates a consistent sleep environment and positive sleep association for them when building on your sleep shaping. ● Temperature - Keep the room a good temperature so that your little one isn’t too hot or too cold. Check this guide on dressing your little one depending on the temperature of the room. The temperature often drops around 3 or 4am and can often be a reason our little ones wake around this time. Feel like you’ve nailed the above and bubs still doesn’t want to sleep in their cot/bassinet? We get it. And this is totally normal and expected – it’s different! Embrace those newborn snugs, strap your little one to you, be nap trapped, find a good series to watch, feed them to sleep, rock them, pat them, and swap out with the support around you if you need to. Your smell, heartbeat, skin feel and voice is their safe place of comfort (and of course it would be!). Spend those first couple of months getting to know your little one and understanding those hungry cues, tired cues and awake windows. Newborns won’t be able to settle themselves consistently until closer to 4 months old so contact and assisted naps will be your best friend. Your little one will rely on you to support them and assist them in getting to sleep. Setting up the right sleep environment will be key when you’re ready to begin supporting them in their own sleep space. Start one step at a time. Awake windows and tired cues Are they under tired, overtired or just hungry? Understanding these windows and cues will be key in having a more settled baby and parent! In those early days you will find those awake times are mostly spent feeding with a small gap at the end for a burp or eye-to-eye contact with you. An awake time is from the moment your baby wakes through to the moment they are sleeping again. Awake Windows in those first four months can look like: 0-3 weeks: 45 – 60 minutes 3-6 weeks: 1 – 1:15 hour 6-9 weeks: 1:15 – 1.5 hours 9-12 weeks: 1.5 hours 12-16 weeks: 1.5 – 2 hours Once your little one is nearing 4 months old you can look at a basic routine rather than awake windows. Our 4-7 month routine guide is perfect for this. You will see that awake windows get longer as our little people’s sleep needs change and this will depend on baby’s age, time of day and whether they are going through a nap transition. In those first 6-8 weeks it is normal to see a later bedtime as our little one’s circadian rhythms don’t mature until closer to 4 months of age (meaning that they don’t understand the difference between day and night) and they may be cluster feeding to get those calories in before bedtime. Being proactive and offering sleep before they get overtired is a great win. They are signs your little one is letting you know it is time to start winding down and getting ready for some sleep before they become overstimulated and enter a state of hyperarousal. Let’s have a look at some tired cues to watch out for: ● Clenching hands into a fist ● Pulling at their ears or hair ● Jerky or shaking movements ● Yawning ● Rubbing eyes ● Vacant look/staring into space ● Quieter/less chatty ● Grizzling ● Sucking thumb/hand Feeding and partner involvement Whether you’re choosing to breastfeed, bottle feed, formula feed or mixed feeding, it’s a journey! During those first 2-3 months your little one will look to feed whenever they can. This is what is commonly known as ‘on-demand feeding’. And it is just as it sounds – feeding your baby when they are showing signs of being hungry. What does this look like? ● Feeding every 2-3 hours (time starts from the start of a feed) can encourage them to consume more calories during the day and can reflect in longer overnight stretches of sleep ● Feeding on demand will help to establish breastmilk supply (if breastfeeding) ● If bottle feeding, follow their cues as volumes of milk will change as their needs change Babies are really great calorie regulators so you don’t need to worry about over-feeding them. In those first 4 months your little one will feed frequently which can be very time consuming. They still have little tummies so the capacity to stay full for long isn’t quite there, and they may wake frequently to feed. How can non-breastfeeding partners support routine and settling? Research now shows that a non-breastfeeding partner’s role in supporting breastfeeding and home routine can be a game-changer! Figuring out how to tackle the day and night time as a dynamic duo can help your breastfeeding partner to feel more rested, and help you as the non-breastfeeding partner to feel actively involved in your little one's care. As we got into the thick of feeding with our second, my husband inspired me with how he showed me he was there with me through this: ● Dinner preparation & cooking ● Getting the bath ready for child 1 & 2 ● Supporting the wind down routine ● Doing the initial settling for bed after a top up feed ● Burping the baby ● Changing nappy in between feeds ● Turning the night light on overnight Don’t underestimate the power of a small act of support in those early days. We have a whole blog around partner support that is a great read! However you choose to support your littlest love earthside is nothing short of amazing. There is no wrong way to support them and if what you’re doing is working for you, then great! Don’t change a thing! Remember that there are no bad habits when it comes to loving, settling and reassuring YOUR little one. You are doing what works for you that is calming, comforting and reassuring to them. Babies can build on these and rely on them as associations to go to sleep get back to sleep but rest assured, these can be changed if they are no longer working for you in the future.
