Catch Ups
Playdates, sorted around naps and school runs
Matching nap times, school pick-ups and four different family calendars. Plynr makes it easy to find a time, share the plan and actually get the kids together.
Sound familiar?
Working around nap times
One kid naps at 12, another at 1, and finding a window feels impossible.
The parent group chat
Plans get buried under photos, questions and everything else in the chat.
Last-minute changes
Someone’s sick, the weather turns, and updating everyone takes ages.
How to plan it in Plynr
1
Send a Quick Plyn
Add the time, the park or house and what to bring. Parents RSVP in seconds via the app or on the web.
2
Find a time that works
Start it as still planning and let parents vote on a time around naps and school.
3
Keep parents in the loop
Share updates in the Plyn if plans change, and let reminders do the chasing.
4
Relive it afterwards
Once it’s done, it becomes a Past Plyn. Everyone adds their photos, and you can keep private notes of the funny things the kids said.
Questions
How do you organise a playdate?
Pick a time that suits naps and school, choose a place like a park or someone’s home, and share the details with the other parents in one place.
How long should a playdate be?
For toddlers, an hour or two is plenty. Older kids can manage longer, especially with an activity.
Where are good places for a playdate?
A local park, playground, beach, library or someone’s backyard. Indoor play centres are good for rainy days.
Can I make a playdate a regular thing?
Yes. Set your Quick Plyn to repeat weekly or fortnightly and it’s sorted without organising it each time.
That playdate you keep meaning to organise?
Just send a Plyn. Free on iPhone and Android.
