## What is Mini Brains Play?

Some days you just need something to do, right now. In the queue, in the car, in the long stretch before dinner. Mini Brains Play hands you a good idea in seconds, so the phone can go down and the playing can start.

Search hundreds of screen-free play ideas, sorted by time, mess, age and mood. Pick your moment, tap an activity, and go. No prep, no printing, no clean-up marathon. Nearly every idea uses what is already in the house: a few pegs, some tape, a cardboard box.

It looks like ordinary play. Underneath, every idea is growing a real skill. Mini Brains Play is built around eight human strengths, the ones that matter most as AI takes on more of what people used to do: curiosity, creativity, empathy, focus, resilience, communication, problem-solving and real-world know-how. The ideas are shaped around the Australian Curriculum, so ten unhurried minutes are always doing something worthwhile.

Made in Australia for children aged 2 to 7. Free to download, with a new idea always a tap away.

Why parents keep it on their phone:
- Hundreds of ideas, ready in seconds
- Sorted by time, mess, age and mood
- Screen-free, no prep, no printing
- Uses what you already have at home
- Every idea grows a future-ready skill
- Built on eight strengths and the Australian Curriculum

Put the phone down, and play.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.4 — 2026-09-28

New play ideas to keep things fresh, including The floor is lava, Teddy hospital, Hot and cold and six more. Added a Shake it up button so the activity list reshuffles and you spot something new. The daily reminder now has a one-tap test so you can check it's working, plus a good tidy-up of wording across the activities.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-09-24

A few things you asked for, sorted.

The daily play reminder works now, so you get a nudge at the time you choose. Finding the right thing is quicker too: filter by your mini's age, how long you've got, and the kind of play you're after. When you can't face deciding, there's a new Today's pick waiting on the browse screen. You can also edit or remove a mini from their profile, and your saved activities are easier to get back to.

Thanks to the parents who sent these through. Keep them coming.
