Calm Play Routine Builder

January can feel long — especially with children of different ages.
This gentle routine builder helps you create one calm play moment in your day, without schedules, pressure, or perfection.

Designed for mixed ages, it supports shared play, sibling harmony, and calmer rhythms — using simple, repeatable ideas that grow with your children.

Download, print, and return to it whenever you need a softer moment.

Calm Play Prompts

Support longer, gentler, child-led play with simple, open-ended phrases. Use only when play pauses to:

• Extend roleplay & small-world pla

• Encourage storytelling

• Slow play without adding more toys

• Support calm, repeatable moments

No need to use every prompt or ask constant questions — one gentle sentence is often enough. Step back if play flows; step in if your child invites you.
