7 months: Kitchen Drawer Safe Chaos
A real idea from Pluto. Move the slider to see one for another age.
Looking after a little one is a lot. So every now and then, Pluto suggests something for the grown-up: a hot drink you actually finish, a proper hug, a moment to breathe.
Drink while it’s still hot. Notice the warmth and taste. Resist scrolling phone.
Hug for six full seconds (count if needed). Say one thing about your day. Notice you’re still a couple.
Notice one thing you see. One thing you hear and feel. One thing you smell or taste.
A first name or nickname and their birthday. That’s all we need.
You’ll find one idea picked for their exact age in months.

Pluto is for parents and caregivers of babies and toddlers from birth to two years old. It offers age-appropriate play ideas and practical guidance for everyday moments together.
About 10 minutes. Each day there’s one simple idea you can fit around naps, feeds and everything else. If your little one wants to keep going, follow their lead.
No. Activities use everyday things you’re likely to have at home already, and many need nothing more than you.
Pluto was made by two parents, Fred and Martin, who wanted simple, meaningful things to do with their little ones without spending hours reading parenting blogs. The ideas draw on play-based approaches such as Montessori, turned into short, practical activities.
Add your child’s date of birth and Pluto matches its suggestions to their age in months. Each idea includes preparation, materials, and an explanation of the developmental benefits.
