From dawn to
dusk as they say my girls can play this game pull it out and discover the
wonderful array of toys with which they can play.
This activity
is great from about seven to eight months onwards it takes effect when your
baby has body control and can grasp objects.
Fill a
container of small toys things that are easy to grab and place it in front of
your baby.
The below
photo is an example of what I use.
I find
depending on the time of day or mood of the baby they will take them out
carefully , looking, exploring each toy. Or it is like tornado alley and they
come flying through the air with claps and laughter.
I also use
this toy taking out technique when I am playing explaining "Mummy took out
the Doll" this helps the children to develop language skills.
Added to this
now as they are getting older when we take toys out I play the yes/no game
which helps develop mental capabilities.
If it is a
doll for example I say is "Mummy holding a Dog?" and shake my head
saying No. Then I say is "Mummy holding a Doll?" nod saying Yes.
A simple past
time that has so much development opportunities.
Just another
example of how at this age everything that we just think is play really is all
about development so it is so important we give lots of time for play and
experiences.
Happy Play
Times :-)
