Play with sounds, songs and rhymes.
PLAY
Baby Babbles
Making sounds is so much fun! As soon as baby can figure out how to make a sound, he starts making it all the time. Encourage this sound play by babbling with him. Repeat the sounds he makes and add a few new ones from time to time. Before you know it, your house will be full of baby babbles!
SING
Round and 'Round the Garden Tickle Rhyme
Round and 'round the garden, [Gently circle your child's belly, back or hand.]
Goes the teddy bear.
One step, two step, [Walk fingers up child's arm.]
Tickle under there! [Tickle under chin.]
Repeat as long as your little one enjoys tickle time!
