Continue ShoppingRoll the ball | Roll a soft, bright coloured ball to your baby and show him how to stop it and push it back to you. |
Naming body parts | Play naming games with your baby. Point to his nose and say "nose." Do the same with his eyes, hands and toys. |
Hunting teddy | Hide a toy in one room of the house and carry your baby from room to room saving "Where's teddy?" and telling him what rooms you are looking in. |
Hide and seek | Hide objects under boxes, behind couches, under blankets, or really anywhere, is a wonderful way to develop object permanence. Show your baby the object before you hide it, then hide it and say "Where's it gone?" |
Pouring games | Pouring games are great to develop the shoulder muscles. Your baby will love pouring games and the bath is the best place for this. Give him beakers or plastic cups to pour water. |
Get that toy | Tie a piece of string onto a toy so that your baby can pull it himself and retrieve it independently. This is most fun when done from a highchair. |
Animated conversations | When talking to your baby, use exaggerated tones and gestures and copy the sounds he makes. |
Cycling | Once your baby can sit stably, fasten him into a baby seat on your bicycle and take him for a ride. |
Sitting in the bath | Now that your baby can sit on dry land, you can start allowing him to sit in the bathtub. Get a sitting frame for the bath, or a bath support, or at least a non-slip mat. Do not leave your baby sitting alone in the bath for even a second. |
Big shakers | Fill empty plastic bottles that can roll, with small, colourful and/or noisy things e.g. bells, scrunched coloured paper and small stones. Make sure the lids are secure. Encourage your baby to shake them and make music. |
