Why are Lovevery products recommended for a specific age?

Accepted Answer

Lovevery designs products with a specific age grade in mind. We do play testing to ensure our products are developmentally appropriate for the age grade. This helps us make sure the product is fun and can be used to it's fullest extent by your little one! Once we establish an age grade, we also take extra steps to ensure the product is safe for children of that age. This includes regulatory and compliance testing that corresponds with the marketed age grade.

Question 3

How are The Play Kits different from The Play Gym? Is there overlap?

The Play Kits for babies and The Play Gym complement each other with very little overlap. Both are stage-based to nurture your baby’s overall growth, but with distinct focuses: The Play Gym offers a full year of play to support foundational brain development, while The Play Kits target specific developmental windows every 2 months.

Question 5

How do I clean the different parts of The Play Gym?

Accepted Answer

The Activity Mat, Organic Cotton Teether, and Sound Squares are machine washable on the delicate cycle in cold water, and should be air dried for best results. If you have an Activity Mat with velcro attachment loops, close the loops on all 3 corners before laundering. If you have an Activity Mat with enclosed squeakers, press the squeakers several times while the mat dries to remove any excess water. The Play Space Cover and High Contrast Ball are machine washable on the delicate cycle in cold water, and can be tumble dried on low heat. The other parts of The Play Gym can be wiped clean with a damp cloth as needed.

We use renewable, bio-based, and recycled materials, and prioritize working with manufacturers who adhere to strict labor standards.

Question 9

How does The Bath Set support language learning?

Accepted Answer

The Bath Set introduces functional language through fun cause-and-effect play, such as pushing the Scoop & Spin Bath Cup ‘down’ and lifting it back ‘up’. Each plaything encourages your child to explore these actions over and over again. This repetition is important for effective language learning.

Question 12

What age is The Bath Set recommended for?

Accepted Answer

The Bath Set is most appropriate for children who are stable independent sitters. Our recommended starting age is 9-months-old to match this stage of development, but you may choose to introduce these playthings earlier or later depending on your child’s progress.

Question 14

Will The Math Skill Set work for children with different learning styles or needs?

Accepted Answer

The Math Skill Set is designed to support a wide range of learners through hands-on, multi-sensory play. Children learn by seeing, touching, and experimenting with math concepts, and can move at their own pace. Concepts are introduced step by step to keep learning manageable. Children explore each idea in multiple ways, including hands-on materials, visual models, and symbols, so they can build understanding in a way that works best for them.

Question 15

What age or grade is The Math Skill Set for?

Accepted Answer

The Math Skill Set is designed for children ages 3–8 and progresses across three parts: Part 1: Pre-K to Kindergarten skills (early number sense and spatial reasoning) Part 2: Kindergarten to 1st grade skills (operations and measurement ) Part 3: 1st to 2nd grade skills (problem solving and more advanced concepts - coming soon!) You can choose the part that best matches your child’s current skills and readiness.

Question 16

What age or grade is The Reading Skill Set for?

Accepted Answer

Each child progresses at their own pace. No matter the grade-level of your child, studies show that re-visiting sound and foundational phonics skills can help increase confidence and fluency. The grade levels listed below are for reference, but you should start with the part that is the best fit for your child’s current skill level. Part 1: Skills often taught in Pre-K and Kindergarten Part 2: Skills often taught in Kindergarten and 1st grade Part 3: Skills often taught in 1st and 2nd grade

Question 17

Why did Lovevery take a phonics-based approach to reading?

Accepted Answer

Research shows that incorporating structured phonics is the most effective approach for learning to read, especially for children experiencing difficulty. However, since reading is a complex process, it’s critical that additional skills—such as oral language, fluency, vocabulary, background knowledge, and phonemic awareness—are supported as well.

Question 18

How much parent involvement is needed to successfully complete this program?

Accepted Answer

Lovevery designed many of the games to be self-correcting (your child can check their own answers) and to be played independently so that you’re not expected to become a reading teacher. As a parent, you’ll need to introduce or set up each product to get them started. Plus, the multiplayer games are fun for families to play together, so they won’t feel like work. The Play Guide that comes with each part includes helpful scripts to introduce new skills as well as guidance on what to say when your child makes a mistake.
