Supporting Play with the EasyPeasy App
Discovering the Lewisham EasyPeasy App: Play, Learn, Grow!
Looking for simple, fun ways to support your child’s development through play at home? The EasyPeasy app, available free to Lewisham families, is a fantastic tool designed to turn everyday moments into meaningful learning experiences.
Lewisham Family Hubs promote the app as a free parenting resource for children aged 0–5, packed with playful ideas, development tips, and confidence-building support for parents and carers.
Play Ideas at Your Fingertips
One of the best features of EasyPeasy is its library of thousands of play ideas and activities, all tailored to your child’s age and stage.
These aren’t complicated setups either—most activities use everyday items you already have at home!
For example, a simple game like sorting socks or building with cups becomes an opportunity to build language, coordination, and problem-solving skills. The app even provides short videos showing real families in action, making it easy to follow along.
Supporting Child Development
EasyPeasy helps parents understand why play matters. Activities are linked to key areas of development such as speech and language, concentration, and social skills, helping you see how small interactions make a big difference.
Research shows that a strong home learning environment improves outcomes for young children, and EasyPeasy is designed to strengthen this through guided play and interaction. [educatione...ion.org.uk]
The Importance of Play
At the heart of the app is a simple idea: children learn best through play with their caregivers. EasyPeasy encourages playful connections during everyday routines—whether it’s mealtime, bath time, or getting dressed.
These shared moments support not just learning, but also bonding, confidence, and emotional wellbeing.
