Expert-curated – Our range of PlayBoxes and playthings has been created in collaboration with experts in early childhood education and child psychology.

Age and stage-based play – We focus on offering the right play, at the right age and stage. This means age-appropriate playthings that bring the right stimulation at the right time. Maximising your little one’s learning opportunities during those all-important early days.

Brain development for 0-2 yearsThis precious little age range is our target market and our core focus. Our PlayBoxes and playtime range cover all the bases, specifically targeting the 0-2-year-old’s five key areas of brain development: fine and gross motor skills, cognitive, speech and language, and social and emotional development. 

Made for bonding - Those first 1,000 days are crucial bonding time for babies and the grown-ups in their lives. Our PlayBoxes are made to make the most of this special stage. They’re fun, interactive, and designed for both baby and parents to love.

Research-backed – We’ve done the research, so you don’t have to. We take the guesswork out of finding the right playthings for the little one in your life’s exact age and stage.

Quality – We believe in quality over quantity, and that less is more. We curate and create playthings that truly last.

Safety - All our playthings are rigorously safety-tested. Our playtime range is made from baby-friendly materials and follows all applicable Australian/NZ safety guidelines (AS/NZS ISO 8124).

A friend to the environment - We care about the world our little customers are growing up in. We make a big effort to choose baby toys that are ethically made and have a low impact on the environment.

We’re in the business of play - We’re young at heart, and we live for play. We’ve fun-tested all of our playthings with 0-2-year-olds, and every one of them got two big thumbs up from the little ones.

We care - You only want the best for your baby, and so do we. We care for our PlayLogy community like family. If you ever need help or have any questions, we’re always here for you.

Have a look through our FAQs. And if you still need a hand, get in touch with the team.

Why is stage-based play so important?

Play is an extremely important part of a child's early development. Playing helps your baby’s brain develop and provides invaluable opportunities to grow their language and communication skills. 

“PlayLogy helps caregivers tackle the challenges of identifying the right toys for their baby’s age and stage. Using decades of developmental science research, PlayLogy selects toys and activities that are targeted for specific developmental windows across the first two years of life.”
– Dr. Annette Henderson, PhD, PlayLogy Early Learning Expert

Are the PlayBox items only meant for that specific age group?

Not at all. As your baby grows, they’ll start using the items in all sorts of different ways. Watching their little brains tick over as they explore, learn, and develop their play is all part of the fun.

What happens if a PlayBox or plaything says ‘out of stock’?

If a PlayBox or individual toy is out-of-stock, that means we’ll be busy behind the scenes re-stocking our supply. Email us at Hello@PlayLogy.co.nz if you’d like to be given a heads up as soon as we’re back in stock.

Are PlayLogy products safe for my baby?

Absolutely. Your baby’s safety is our priority, and all materials used in our PlayBoxes and products comply with New Zealand and Australian toy safety standards (AS/NZ 8124 ISO). All PlayBoxes are checked at our warehouse before dispatch, to make sure that the items inside them are safe and sound. Also, as soon as you see any signs of damage from wear and tear, please stop using the item as a safety precaution.

How do I clean my PlayBox items?

Every PlayBox item comes with its own card, which includes any specific cleaning instructions. Dishwashers and sterilisers can be a little harsh on some products, so for most we recommend hand-washing or spot-cleaning and then lying flat to dry.

All PlayLogy’s PlayBoxes come with 5-6 items, designed to boost your child’s brain development. When you buy a PlayBox, you’ll also get follow-up digital packs with more information on how to make the most of playtime with your little one.

I would like to order a PlayBox, but I already have one of the items. What can I do?

We know it's best to be flexible when babies and toddlers are involved. Contact our team on Hello@PlayLogy.co.nz to find a solution.
