What We Offer
Unplugged Play
You know game night would be good for your family. You just don’t have time to figure out what to play. Tell us your family’s ages and interests, and we’ll send you a box every month with expert-selected games, conversation starters, and screen-free activities — plus a few extras to make the night feel special.
Play Packs
Themed packs built around the moments that matter — bath time, calm-down time, creative time. Each one is thoughtfully curated with quality products and designed so you can open it and go. No expertise required. Just your time and attention.
Therapy Programs
In-depth, clinician-designed programs targeting specific areas of development — language, emotional regulation, cognitive skills, sensory processing, and more. Each one comes with a detailed activity guide and video support, so you know exactly what to do and why it works. Built for families who want clinical depth with the warmth of play.
The Small Moments Are the Big Ones
The moments that shape who your child becomes don't look like much. A board game on a Tuesday night. A silly question in the car. Ten minutes of building something together before dinner.
Play is how children learn to communicate, solve problems, handle their emotions, and show up for the people around them. These aren't extras — they're the foundations of everything that matters. And they're built through the kind of everyday, screen-free play that's quietly disappearing from childhood.
But here's something that doesn't get said enough: play isn't just good for your child. It can be good for you, too.
Following your child's lead, watching how they think, catching a glimpse of who they actually are — even for two minutes — can be genuinely healing. For both of you. It won't look like Instagram. It might look like nothing at all. But it matters more than most of us realise.
I'm Kylie Toynton — a paediatric speech pathologist, mum of three, and the person behind everything here. I've spent 25 years sitting on floors with children, working out what makes them tick, and helping parents see what's possible when play is done with a bit of intention.
You have the love. You have the motivation. What I can give you is the tools, the ideas, and the confidence to turn the play you're already having into something more — from our Unplugged Play game night boxes, to our curated play packs, to our in-depth therapy programs. One philosophy, different starting points, depending on what your family needs right now.
Our Values
25 Years on the Floor With Kids
Everything here is designed or handpicked by a paediatric speech pathologist who has spent her career working directly with children and families. I know which toys build language. I know which games teach emotional regulation. And I know which ones end up forgotten under the couch. This is curation from experience, not a catalogue
Made for Real Life, Not Perfect Life
You don’t need to become a play therapist. You need things that fit into your actual week — the one with after-school chaos, screen negotiations, and dinner to get on the table. Everything here is designed to be opened and used, not studied first.
A Starting Point Wherever You’re At
Maybe your family just needs a reason to put the screens down. Maybe your child needs something more targeted. Maybe you’re somewhere in between and you’re not quite sure. That’s exactly who this is for.
The Person Behind the Play
I’m Kylie Toynton (B.Sp.Path, CPSP) — a paediatric speech pathologist, mum of three, and the founder of Small Moments Speech & Play. For over two decades I’ve worked with children and families in rural NSW, learning what helps kids thrive and what gets in the way.
These days, my focus is on creating. I design play resources, curate the products I trust, and I’m developing original games, books, and tools that bring together everything I’ve learned about how children grow through play. Every product in this store exists because I’ve seen — thousands of times over — what the right kind of play can do for a child and a family.
I believe parents are the most important people in their child’s development. Not therapists. Not programs. You. My job is to put the right things in your hands and show you what’s possible
Not Sure Where to Start?
Most families who find us are somewhere between “I know something’s missing” and “I’m not sure what we need.” That’s a good place to be. It means you’re paying attention — and that’s already more than enough.
If you’re not sure which of our products is right for your family, I’d love to help you work it out.
