Use what you have
A bowl, some paper, a few things from the kitchen or the park. Start without gathering supplies.
For families with a little one aged 3 to 6
If you've got a child somewhere between three and six, this is for you. TopParent is here for the ordinary moments of the day, the ones where you'd love to do something together but don't have the energy to plan it.
Some afternoons feel longer than the clock says.
You know the stretch. School or the day is done, dinner is still a way off, and the energy in the room needs somewhere to go.
These are the moments TopParent is made for. Not the big planned days out. Just the small in-between ones that make up most of family life.
One idea, using what's already around you
No printing, no shopping trip, no special kit. And because no two children are the same, the ideas meet yours where they are.
Fits the time you have
Tell TopParent how much time you have, from a few minutes to a longer stretch, and the idea fits it.
Meets your child today
Some days your child wants to move. Some days they want quiet. Make any idea smaller, calmer, or more active.
You're always the one deciding.
TopParent offers a starting point, never an instruction. You know your child, the room, and the day better than anyone. Start an idea, change it, pause it, or skip it and ask for another. Nothing here is a plan you have to keep up with.

A few things parents ask
What do I need at home?
Usually nothing special. Ideas are built around everyday things you already have nearby, so you can start without gathering supplies.
How long does an activity take?
As long as you want. You tell TopParent how much time you have, from a few minutes to a longer stretch, and the idea fits it.
My child is nearly three, or already six. Is this still for us?
TopParent is shaped for children aged three to six. Around the edges of that range you're the best judge of what suits your child, and you can always adapt any idea to fit them.
What if the idea doesn't suit my child?
That's fine, and expected. Change it, make it simpler, or ask for a different one. TopParent gives you a starting point, not a rule.
