Choosing the Disney+ Bundle plan will reward you and your family with endless entertainment options. As if having the entire Disney collection on your device isn’t magical enough, The Disney Bundle allows you to add even more to your plan. At $12.99 per month, you can add ESPN+ and Hulu to your Disney+ plan, which saves you money versus subscribing to all three separately. With access to all platforms, everyone in the family can find something they love.

Budding athletes will go crazy for the live sports and archived specials on ESPN+, which you won’t find on other mainstream streaming platforms. This app covers MLB, international soccer, and even collegiate athletics. To discover what else ESPN+ has to offer sports fanatics, check out its video page for full listings, including live-event coverage.

Hulu, on the other hand, has a little bit of everything. From kids shows to R-rated movies, this streaming service has got it all. No one is in the mood for the same shows 24/7, right?

Spending time together as parent and child is an awesome way to show your love and appreciation for one another any day of the year, especially if you can find something to do (or watch!) that you both enjoy. Whether your idea of a perfect Valentine’s Day includes a romantic movie — Disney can help keep your kiddos occupied — or some family time watching your favorite animated classic, the diverse options from Disney+ lets you decide what’s best for you. Whichever plan you choose, you have hours of magical memories with your family ahead of you, which in itself is a Valentine’s Day gift unlike no other.

When should your baby be able to stack blocks? Here’s what to know
Know when babies can nest cups and balance blocks by themselves
A child playing with stacking blocks

When you’re a new parent, the moment someone gifts your child their first set of blocks, you become obsessed with baby learning and when they should be able to turn the blocks into beautiful creations of their imagination. While stacking blocks are an important developmental milestone for babies, it’s also one of those things that evolves with time and practice. Sitting down to play blocks with your little one is an open-ended game that teaches children physics, resilience, and fun. When can a baby stack blocks and nest cups on their own without your help? Here are some general guidelines so you know how to measure your child’s development with their gift of stacking blocks and how to help your child get the hang of it on their own.
When can a baby stack blocks and nest cups? By age

By 6 months old
At this age, your baby might not be ready to stack blocks the way you want them to, and that's okay. This doesn't mean you can't play blocks with your child or that you shouldn't let your child have fun figuring out what the blocks are. It’s perfectly normal for your 6-month-old to gnaw on blocks or simply hold one, just don't expect them to build the Eiffel Tower just yet.
By 12 months old
This is the stage of banging items against each other and blocks or cups are no the exception. If you offer your child blocks, there may still not be a lot of creativity yet. But keep in mind that knocking things down is a favorite activity of 1-year-olds, so your child is right on track if that's all they do. More likely than not, they’ll be happy to destroy any block tower you build. If your little one can’t get enough of knocking down a stack of blocks, rest assured that they’re right on schedule.
By 18 months old
When can babies nest cups? By a year and a half, stacking is the name of the game. After all, your little one is now officially a toddler and proud of it. If you haven’t done so already, this is a great time to introduce baby blocks. At this point, most kiddos are able to stack two or three blocks on top of each other with ease.
By 2 years old
Don’t be surprised if your baby’s block masterpieces start to get taller by age 2. With improved coordination, your child shows better stacking skills and may be able to balance up to seven blocks on top of each other. This is the beginning of sorting for many young children. If they’re now stacking masters, go ahead and challenge your budding genius to sort their blocks by color or separate them in groups.
By 3 years old
Free play takes a life of its own by age 3. At this point, blocks are much more than meets the adult eye. Your child’s imagination is flourishing, and they’ll start to build tunnels, bridges, or forts with just a few blocks. This is the perfect moment to introduce your toddler to teamwork. If the two of you work together, it’s easier to build tall towers and solve construction problems. Get your child's imagination to full speed and see what they create with blocks of all colors and shapes.
