The Mini Kits are similar to The Play Kits in that they’re designed to support learning through play, at specific times in your child’s development. They’re perfect for gifting or giving Lovevery a try.

Unlike The Play Kits, The Mini Kits include fewer playthings, and don’t come with a printed Play Guide or other Play Kit subscriber perks like free access to the Course Packs, exclusives in the Subscriber Shop, and more.

The Play Kits are available by subscription, but The Mini Kits are not.

Yes! You can start with The Mini Kits and later subscribe to The Play Kits, or use both to support your child’s play experiences.
