What a Lovevery Play Guide Is
Each Lovevery Play Kit ships with a printed Play Guide named for its developmental stage. It explains what is happening in your child's development right now and gives stage-specific ideas for how to play along with it. The Babbler guide covers different ground than The Helper, so the stage matters.
Why Buy a Play Guide Secondhand
Lovevery does not sell Play Guides separately to the public — subscribers can request replacement parts with proof of purchase, and everyone else is pointed to resale. That leaves peer-to-peer listings, where condition and completeness vary. We stock gently used originals, check every one by hand, and back them with our 30-day return policy. If you bought a Play Kit secondhand, lost a guide in a move, or joined partway through, this is the straightforward way to complete the set.

Lovevery Play Guide FAQs
Does Lovevery sell Play Guides separately?
Not to the general public. Lovevery's help centre directs subscribers to request replacement parts with proof of purchase, and points everyone else toward resale. Buying a gently used original is the usual way to replace a missing guide.
Which Lovevery Play Guide stages do you have in stock?
We currently carry 21 stages, from The Charmer (months 3-4) through The Persister (months 55-57). The Looker and The Planner are sold out right now. Stock changes as guides sell, so the live list on this page reflects what's available today.
What condition are the Play Guides in?
They are gently used originals, hand-checked by our team before shipping. They are the same printed guides that came with the Play Kits — not reprints or copies.
Is the Play Guide the same thing as the Play Kit?
No. The Play Kit is the box of toys; the Play Guide is the printed booklet that comes with it. This collection sells the guides on their own, which is useful if you bought a kit secondhand or lost the booklet.
Can I get a discount on a Play Guide?
Yes. Buy any Lovevery toy from our Lovevery collection and your Play Guide is 50% off, applied automatically at checkout.
Do you sell a PDF or digital version?
No. We sell the original printed guides only. Lovevery's Play Guides are copyrighted, so we don't offer digital copies. If you're missing a guide, a gently used original is the way to replace it.
