Activities
-
Name the things your baby looks at. Tell them what you’re doing or what’s happening in the world around them: It’s time for bed, it’s time to be feed. Activities like these help build vocabulary and routine.
-
Read to your baby.
-
Give your baby time to crawl and practice new movements: maybe make a trail of toys for your baby can work towards and investigate.
-
Help them with play: playing hide and seek or helping to stack blocks can work on developing your babies’ skills.
-
Let your baby explore their sense: touching ice cubes, crinkling leaves, shaking a container of rice. These activities involve touch and sound and are great for a young baby.
