Your baby could hear you talking even before they were born. They recognised your voice right from the start. They might not understand the words that you say, but they will be listening and learning. You can talk about what you are doing right now and what you are going to do.
Next time you have a few minutes or you are waiting for the bus to arrive play peekaboo with your baby. You can play using your hands to cover your face. You can also hide behind a book or a paper and pop out from behind it. Before you start make sure you are facing your baby and have their attention.
It is never too early to begin singing to your baby. You can even start before they are born. Sing songs that you know. Your baby won’t mind if you are not a great singer. You can sing about what you are doing or looking at.
Treasure baskets are wonderful ways for babies or children to explore sensory materials. Just put some items in a basket and let your little one explore them. Stay close by but let them choose which item they want to explore and for how long.
