Sparkler: Play for Parenting is an app that offers play-based learning activities to do with children ages 0-5. Families can download the app for free from the App Store or Google Play. When opening the Sparkler app for the first time, families can create a new account. Next time, they can sign in using the method they selected. Families should use code 2-1-2-1 to register, which will give them access to Sparkler for free for 90 days. Once registered, they can visit “Play” for ideas on off-screen play that grow their child’s heart, mind, body, and words.
