Buddy Copies
Buddy helps your child learn to copy, one spin at a time.
- Your child doesn't copy your actions or gestures yet
- They watch you but don't join in
- They aren't talking much yet, and you've been told copying comes first
- They learn best through play, not drills
- You want a simple, low-pressure way to start
The idea behind it
Buddy Copies turns that practice into a five-minute game. You spin, you demonstrate, you wait, and your child has a go. It starts with easy actions using real objects, a stir of the spoon, a roll of the ball, then moves to copying your body, and finally your funny faces.
You are building copying, not obedience, so every attempt is a win. A short, happy turn most days does more than one long session.
Best for
Children aged 3+ who are just beginning to copy actions, gestures and play, especially where imitation is emerging and comes before talking. A foundational Getting Started kit.
What's inside
How to use it at home
Be their mirror first
For a minute, copy what your child does. They tap, you tap. They wave, you wave. Let them notice, keep it playful, no pressure.
You spin, you go first
Hold the spinner, give it one spin, then demonstrate the action slowly and hold the pose for two seconds.
Wait and celebrate
Count slowly to five. Celebrate any clear attempt with "You did it!" Don't correct, just model it again.
Move up when ready
Start on the Objects disc. Move to Body, then Faces, once your child copies 4 out of 5 spins across a week. No prize for rushing.
Every product is designed with occupational therapists
Our clinical panel works with Indian children every day. Every product is reviewed for safety, developmental fit, and how well it works in a real home — not just a clinic. If your child's OT recommends something different, listen to them first. We're a tool, not a substitute for therapy.
