AlongsidePlay with, not for · ages ~2–4

Parent-led · low stim · research-aware

Play alongside your child — not against a screen.

Alongside is a private library of short, parent-led activities for ages ~2–4. You glance at a card, put the phone down, and play together. No kid-facing feed. No streaks. No grades.

Find something now

Filter by time, energy, materials, and age band when you need an idea in 30 seconds.

Private to your family

Notes, favorites, and optional “done” history stay on your account — not a shared device blob.

Research-aware, not clinical

Plain-language “why this works” on each card. Never a diagnosis or milestone score.

Built for conscious parents

  • Parent is the product surface — not a toddler tablet app
  • Finite sessions; permission to stop early
  • Everyday materials (or none) over expensive kits
  • Optional structure (daily pick) without mandatory weekly homework

Activities require an account so your notes and history stay yours. Read our full stance.
