A classic, but how my baby loves it when we sing, especially if she knows the song. Then she’ll join in (though her lyrics are a bit of) and try to imitate us if there’s any gestures like clapping or throwing her arms in the air.
I’ll give my little one new stuff to play with once in a while (or just look at, chew in and then shake). Simple stuff like spoons and other kitchen utilities work wonders. Just make sure that what ever you hand your baby that it’s safe. Some babies already have a mouthful of razor sharp teeth they’ll bite into anything, which means there’s a dange...
I try and keep a few balls away from my daughter’s other toys. Mainly because I don’t want to trip and fall over them, but also because she gets so excited when she gets to play with one of the “new balls” and can spend a good amount of time chasing after it, picking it up and then chasing it again. It’s one of the toys that’s always in rotation.
We’ve recently started looking at books together. We did try it a few times before, but on those occasions she’s was not ready and more interested in exploring the books by chewing into them. But one day this changed, and she’ll gladly sit on my lap and look at the pictures in the books while I talk and she (sometimes) points. She especially likest...
A favourite of ours! It can always help bring a smile to my baby’s face if she’s been a bit frustrated with me not letting her play with the plastic bag she pulled off the table. We mix it up a lot. Sometimes we do play peek-a-boo in front of the mirror, where I hide behind my daughter. Sometimes I make a new face whenever I pop out. Sometimes I we...
I’ll pop my daughter into my arms and we’ll dance around like 2 people gone nuts. I’ll swing her from side to side, throw her in the air, jump up and down with her and so on. Sometimes we dance to music, sometimes we just move around to my wonderful home made songs which I usually make up on the spot. It’s always a success and laughs are guaranteed...
This is a great game for 5 a.m. in the morning when my body is telling me, that I should be sleeping, but my little one has other plans. The game is simple: I just lie down on my bag on the floor and let her crawl all over me. That I can manage at 5 a.m. I just have to stay awake enough to keep her from pulling my hair. I’m not completely certain w...
Every once in a while I’ll lay different objects on the floor for my daughter to crawl all over and under. And to practice standing with. She especially likes the foldable foam mattress, but our couch pillows, her big foam elephant from bObles, our coffee table and some big tin containers are also a hit. And of course Mom and Dad (see no. 7 on this...
I know, sounds boring, but if I pick my little one up and carry her around the apartment she gets excited by all the new and strangely thrilling things she can suddenly see and touch. Like the light switch, books on the top shelve and even her own socks. As long as it has been out of reach before, it is interesting. And then she also enjoys helping...
It’s so much fun when my daughter starts clapping, cringing up her nose and blowing air of it, putting her arms in the air, shaking her head and saying “aeh” just because we are doing it or she wants us to do it. When she realises that we are imitating her she’ll laugh so sincerely that you can’t do anything but love her a bit more.
- Easy as ABC: Using flashcards, have your bigger kid show the baby the letters of the alphabet, reciting each one and talking about its accompanying picture.
- Show Off Shapes: Help your preschooler draw different shapes on pieces of construction paper. Then present them to baby, with a running commentary on each one.
- Show and Tell: Have the preschooler gather some of her favorite things from around the house and present them to the baby. A simple demo provides exciting stimulation and interaction for both.
- Dance Dance Revolution: By 6 or 7 months, babies enjoy rhythm. Play some favorite songs and let toddlers dance, while baby claps and watches the fun. If you want to join in, take baby in your arms and dance too.
- Lego or blocks. Even if your little one doesn’t have the coordination to stick the blocks together yet, they will still get lots out of looking at the different types of blocks.
- Non-messy finger painting. Trying to finger paint with two small children is a risky business when you’re inside the house. One of them is bound to take off and smear paint on a piece of furniture that just so happens to be pretty valuable.
- Tissue or wrapping paper. This stuff is so versatile and the beauty of it is you probably already have some sitting round the house in a box somewhere!
- Make slime. Use a mix of cornflour and water to create a non-toxic and gooey mess to play with. Simply mix to the consistency that you want, so that it’s not too runny and not too thick.
