What to Show a 1-Year-Old on a Screen

Most health guidance says screen time before age two should be rare — we say the same thing plainly on our About page. If you're looking anyway, for the moments it does happen, here's what tends to work at this age.

A 1-year-old doesn't follow a story. What holds their attention is something simpler: one object, one clear action, repeated. Colour matching, a shape appearing and disappearing, a small sound tied to a small movement. Fast cutting or a lot happening at once tends to lose them rather than engage them.

TiniMilo's colour-matching and shadow series are built around exactly that: one idea, repeated slowly, no dialogue to follow. A few minutes, not more.

Again — very little to none is what's generally recommended at this age. This page exists for the "anyway" moments, not to suggest more is better.
