free play on the play mat

  • 2 to 9 months
  • 10 to 20 min
  • 1 or 2 children
  • indoors

materials: play mat, rattles, unbreakable mirror, fabric squares

step by step

  1. lay the mat on a flat floor, away from walkways and draughts, with no direct light in the eyes
  2. lie down for a moment where the baby will be, to check what they will see
  3. lay the baby on their back, without a play gym or a bouncer
  4. place rattles, cloth books and things to touch all around them, within reach
  5. stay close by: talk, smile, sing, without guiding their movements

what it brings

free to move, the baby discovers their hands and feet, rocks, then rolls over when their body is ready.

safety

do not sit the baby up or prop them up with cushions. if they get stuck on their tummy, help them roll onto their side to get back onto their back.

the app only suggests the cards that suit the age of every child present: 11 for a 3-month-old baby, 88 for a 2-year-old.

download for free

illustrations created with the help of artificial intelligence. holiday activities: one per holiday in the free version, all 50 with serenity.

faq

frequently asked questions

how much does the serenity subscription cost?

the serenity subscription costs 49 € per year, after a 14-day free trial. there is no commitment: you can cancel at any time during the trial and you will not be charged. it's the ideal formula to support you year-round in your work.

can i stay on the free plan as long as i want?

yes, with no time limit and no credit card required. the discovery plan lets you prepare your days and print your schedules. you only switch to serenity when you want to.

how does the 14-day trial work?

you enjoy all serenity features for 14 days. the ai-assisted features (tailored activity creation and photo material recognition) are capped at 20 uses in total for the duration of the trial; everything else is unlimited. if you do not confirm, the app simply reverts to the free version — you are never billed by surprise, and all your data is preserved.

is my data and children's data protected?

completely. everything is stored on your computer, never on our servers. names and photos never leave the app unless you decide to send them. p'tit planning is gdpr compliant by design — a real asset to reassure families and pmi inspectors.

how do i cancel if i change my mind?

in one click from settings, at any time. your subscription remains active until the end of the period already paid, then the app reverts to the free version. no justification required.

is it tax-deductible?

serenity is a professional tool. if you declare actual expenses, its cost can be deducted as a business expense. if in doubt, your childminder network (rpe) or accountant can confirm this.

what devices does p'tit planning work on?

on windows and mac computers, and on your phone. the computer is the main workstation: the app is lightweight and starts quickly, even on an older family computer. the phone version, at app.dahlikit.com, pairs with the computer with a simple qr code: use it to note how each child is doing, take a photo and write the daily report during the day.

do you have activities for babies under 6 months?

yes, since version 2.1.7. until then, the cards started at 6 months; a 3-month-old baby now has eleven, including free play on the play mat and rattles to grab. each card gives the step-by-step, the variations and the safety points, and the new ones are illustrated. they are all in the free version.
