Curious Baby Activity Cards are intended to be used as a general educational and inspirational guide for caregivers and is not a substitute for medical advice. Every child develops at their own pace. If you have any concerns about your child's development, please reach out to your pediatrician or a licensed pediatric therapist. Read more on safety.
Pediatricians, speech-language pathologists, therapists and educators use the cards in their own homes and recommend them to the families they work with.
I'm a pediatric speech therapist working with babies. I purchased these for my 4 month old nephew — but love them so much I will be recommending them to the families I work with! The activities are explained clearly and give great education about the developmental skills they work on.
Curious baby cards are a great way for parents and caregivers to foster developmental skills and social bonding.
As a psychotherapist working with babies and parents, I find these cards invaluable to my work. Parents love them and babies benefit. They are easy to read, easy to understand and easy to carry. The developmental concepts behind each idea is sound. Brava and please make more!
As a speech-language pathologist, I really appreciate the evidence-based activities suggested for new parents. I bought a book for two of my siblings who are both expecting!
As an OT myself I know the importance of reaching milestones and making activities engaging to infants and toddlers. I do not work in pediatrics so this knowledge from school has not stuck around, but these cards are helping bring it back!
My new go to baby gift! I bought the cards for my daughter, she just had my first grandchild! I taught kindergarten for 30 years and know the importance of play! She and her husband have been using the cards from the first week — at three weeks, she was already tracking the black and white card.
As a retired educator I can totally see the value of having these helpful cards as an activity guide, especially for those early months. I appreciate the information and facts behind each activity. These are definitely a great resource.
We'll leave it to our customers to let you know how easy life can be with our bestselling activity cards. Give yourself a break and let Curious Baby guide your awake time with baby!
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 815 reviews.
Very effective, educational, and entertaining for myself and baby! Encourages bonding and great guidance for a first time parent! Developmentally appropriate for homeschooling and meeting milestones in a developing babies life!
Loved it!
I'm so happy with this purchase! I ordered the bundle cards and these were so helpful during the beginning months with my newborn. They are easy to grab when you going upstairs and downstairs and the cards feel so soft. We did all of the exercises on the cards and my baby loved them. I love the variety of exercises that are shared and shown. I also love that it explains why everything is helpful for baby and how it helps them develop. The black and white cards are also really great. These were so helpful with tummy time, helped my baby move their head from side to side easier, and helped with developing his vision. He really likes seeing all different animals, shapes and patterns. I'm still using these for my baby (now 3 months) as the cards help with baby's development all the way to 12 months. This would be such a great gift for anyone you know having a baby soon!
Baby girl is loving doing these with her mom and grandparents
Super great cards we are very happy with them!
Really liking the cards so far!
As a retired Elementary teacher and a new Grandmother, I'm LOVING the Baby Bundle with our little Granddaughter. It's never to early to engage their brains.
She loves them so much at 4 weeks old, she follows the cards so well and it keeps her engaged.
Took this picture with cards but I have 2 sets so returning I have placed a order since so I will use the 15off for that
I’m a brand new dad and had no idea what I should be doing when my baby was alert. This gave me fun things to do with her that will help her develop.
I decided to try Curious Baby when my daughter was an infant and I’m so grateful we did! There were many days where I simply didn’t know what to do with her to help engage her mind or give us an age appropriate activity to do together. We loved it so much I went on to purchase the Curious Toddler and Speech/Language Development cards as well. We re-purchased Curious Baby for an upcoming baby shower and even passed down our original Curious Baby cards to other friends who just had twin boys! I will not stop recommending this company to everyone I know. It’s a little pricey but so worth it for our little ones. Thank you Curious Baby for the priceless memories and beautifully curated activities.
I recently received the high contrast cards & activity cards and so far I am loving them and so is my baby! She love looking at the images and I tell her what is in the images and give her a description. The cards with the different activities are awesome too because it enhances our playtime! My baby is officially two months and she’s taking notice in a lot of things, so I thought this would be the perfect time to work more on things with her…
We love it! Great guideline and activity book, especially for new parents like us. It explains why your little one needs to be stimulated with each activity and the ideal time to do it.
I am a stay-at-home mom and was looking for different ways to help my 3 month old reach her milestones, and keep her entertained in the process. The Curious Baby cards were exactly what I was looking for. They provide a variety of activities from 0-12 months and each activity has different development focus areas and an explanation of the purpose of the activity. I love these cards!
We loved always having a new idea on how to play with our boy. As a first time Mom these cards really gave me direction on what my baby needed during that specific developmental time. Love this deck and would recommend to any parent!
Love these cards! Simple and to the point. The contrast cards are amazing as well. I keep them right on my changing table for her to look at as well as for tummy time.
The packaging was amazing and really drew me in, I love that it came with a ring to keep them all together and was easy to put on the cards. I love all the different ideas it has and theirs room for improv it’s a great idea for a baby shower gift
Our little loves the high contrast cards! You can just see those little wheels a'turning!
I really enjoy these cards. They help guide me on what to do with my baby and they explain how each activity helps her learn.
I’ve enjoyed the cards so far! They’ve given me some ideas around how to play with my 3-month-old daughter and importantly how to enrich her. I love knowing what she’s learning from each activity!
A friend of mine used these cards with her newborn daughter and recommended them to me. I loved watching how my friend’s daughter has excelled cognitively. She’s currently 1 and a half and almost potty trained, walking, and using telegraphic speech! I’ve been using this with my 6 week old and my husband and I love it. It gives us special curated and enriching time to spend with our son. He seems to enjoy the time with us and it allows us to spend quality time with him and build essential skills. With the guidance from the cards, we see strides in his tracking abilities, binocular vision, and cognitive abilities.
Awesome cards! There are activities for all different stages and great pictures for baby’s development. Our son loves the cat and dog picture and seems entranced by it. There are other activities that are great to do everyday. It’s very helpful to have them all in one place so you can easily just pick them up and do them, instead of trying to remember things you read online and do them. Also the customer service is really great. We had a question and the Founder replied to us himself and was very helpful. Will be buying some toys very soon!
These cards are an excellent way to get quick ideas of activities to do with your baby! I love knowing that I am doing an activity to help her develop.
I have only used the 0-3 month portion so far. I love the recommendations on exercises/activities that can be done to help my baby’s development at this age. They do a good job explaining how to do the playtime activities and what they help baby with developmentally. I do wish the cards would give recommendations for how long to do each activity/how many reps/etc.
My daughter loves them!! The high contrast card was one of the first things she really focused her eyes on!
He absolutely LOVES them!! You guys really thought these cards out well and I love how you include why these activities are important for baby’s development!! Thank you so much for giving us something fun and helpful to do!!!
Great play ideas all in one place without you having to go online and research what to do with your little one. Great explanation of what it develops and why it’s important also. Appreciate that all items are available on hand without the need of keep buying extra toys for each kind of play.
Loving our cards. So far we’ve focused on months 0-3 and have been doing great, Especially during tummy time. Can’t wait to see what the next few months of activities bring!
Love these cards so much that I got them for my sister-in-law. They are so helpful and give some guidance and information on how to play with your baby. My little baby loves them too.
We received our Curious Baby cards as a gift, and have LOVED them since day one! Our LO is now 6months old and I still flip through to find new, exciting activities to play. They are especially wonderful when you get stuck on “what to do next.” As a first time mom, the why behind each activity has been great! Added bonus - these cards are an incredible way to get grandparents involved in meaningful play! Five stars!!
These are perfect. I literally kept asking my friends, “now that he’s awake more, what do I DO with him?” These cards are my answer.
Perfect for any new parent. Especially if you’re watching the screen time for your little one. 💙💙
I was very excited to receive and begin using my baby cards. I am a first time mom and just want to make sure I’m engaging my baby enough through out the day with creative ways (without having to clutter our home with all these gadgets. I have been using the cards for my Infant and excited to see her improving on her milestones. However I had a question on the amount to spend on each activity so I emailed the email, but I have not received a response. That would be my only complaint. I hope I receive a responses
Crinkle time with I.M.L. 💚
It’s a bit expensive for what it is; I’m sure money could be saved with cheaper packaging. The blue ring that hold the cards together is a bit flimsy, but nice to have overall.
This is the perfect tool for every new parent! This gave me so much peace in knowing what to do with my new baby boy. I love knowing that there is science and research behind the activities.
Such good quality material that will last and great ideas to bond with baby while helping them develop. The post office lost my package so I needed a replacement item and the customer service at curious baby cards was absolutely incredible! Lizzy is amazing! I can’t wait to buy the toddler cards when the time comes!! 10000000% recommend!
I am teaching my baby hard & soft. Her monkey is a hard toy and the cube is soft.
We love using our cards with our 3 week old! Definitely a fun way to mix up play time each day. Soft and hard is one of our favorite activities right now. Can’t wait until he is a little bigger to try more of the activities! Thanks Curious Baby!
I've enjoyed the activity cards very much thus far! I have a 2 month old, and I appreciate that the cards provide information about typical developmental milestones, tidbits of developmental information with each activity, and that they give me some direction for interacting with a human that can't really do much.
What are 'Activity Cards,' anyway?
Think of them like educational flashcards with creative playtime ideas to help you engage and support your little one's development. And they're made by a team of pediatricians, therapists and experts based on modern early childhood research. So, it's like you've got a team of experts right in your pocket.
How can you make every moment with your baby count?
Curious Baby™ Activity Cards aren't just educational toys—they're your partner in making every moment with your newborn baby count. As a new parent, you're navigating the incredible, sometimes overwhelming, parenthood journey. Between the sleepless nights and countless diaper changes, finding meaningful ways to engage with your baby can feel like a challenge. But here's the truth: every smile, every gaze, every tiny hand grasp matters.
How do infant learning cards build lasting bonds and foster growth?
With Curious Baby™ Activity Cards, you're not just encouraging developmental milestones but creating special memories that will last a lifetime. These moments of connection, however small, lay the foundation for your child's emotional, social, and cognitive growth. And, just as important, they build a beautiful bond between you and your baby, filling those early days with joy and discovery.
What's the best way to create meaningful memories with your baby?
Whether it's a five-minute break in your day or an extended play session, Curious Baby™ gives you simple, meaningful activities designed to foster closeness and nurture your little one's curiosity. We're here to help you make the most of this precious time—because before you know it, they'll be taking their first steps, and you'll be cherishing the memories you created together.
How can Curious Baby™ Cards support your child from newborn to preschool learning?
The brain is most adaptable to learning in early childhood, with 90% of brain development happening by age five. As the brain matures, it becomes less flexible, which is why early emotional, physical, social, and cognitive development is critical to later success in school and careers.
Curious Baby™ Activity Cards are designed to grow with your child, providing developmentally appropriate activities for different stages—from newborns to toddlers. Whether you're engaging your little one or preparing your "big kid" preschool learning, our cards support learning at ages up to 3 years. With over 40 activities tailored to your kid's changing needs, each moment becomes a step toward lifelong development, from sensory play for infants to skill-building for toddlers.

As parents, we know how fleeting the baby stage can be. That's why Curious Baby™ Activity Cards are designed not just for your baby's development but for you, too. Getting lost in the daily routine is easy, but our cards allow you to slow down, bond, and appreciate the magic of your baby's first year. Let us help you turn these small moments into lasting memories.
