Be ready when those precious opportunities for your child to play and laugh and learn happen throughout the day. Here are a few ideas for giving your child a balanced diet of wholesome play every day. AGES: Fun with babies: age birth to one year - Peek-a-boo is a tried and true favorite game for
babies. Play it throughout the first year by hiding your face or
a toy behind a blanket. Watch how your baby grows to understand
that even though she can't see an object, it's still there.
- Give your three-month-old a little target practice.
While she lies on her back, hold up a pillow or a toy by her feet
and let her try to kick it as she exercises her legs.
- Nurture the musical side of your baby by helping
her clap in rhythm with songs you sing or shake a rattle or bang
on some pots and pans with a wooden spoon.
