Playing in the Sand
Bury your hand in the sand and ask your baby 'Where
is my hand?' she may pat the sand on top of your hand
or dig for it. When she finds your hand, hold it up
and exclaim 'There is my hand! You found it!' Next cover
baby's hand in the sand and talk about how the sand
feels, ask baby where her hand is. To make things more
interesting, bury her toy and ask her to find; if she
has problem finding it, help her.
Building blocks
Give your baby a few large plastic blocks to play with.
He may stack or arrange them in a straight line. If
he doesn't stack them, teach him how. Help him arrange
the blocks in different ways. Talk about how the arrangement
changes as you shift the blocks to different positions.
The photo album
Bring out the family photo album. Let him look at it.
He is getting old enough to turn the pages. If he doesn't
seem to recognize a familiar face, tell him who it is.
Holding the album and turning the pages is a big accomplishment
for baby.
