Play

Look at pictures of animals and make their sounds. 'What does the cow say? Mooo!' Baby will start to connect animals with their sounds and try to imitate.

Fill a small pool or large box with plastic balls. Let baby climb in, sit, and throw balls. Name colors as they play. Great for sensory and motor development.

Give baby large stickers to peel and stick on paper. This is excellent for fine motor development and hand-eye coordination. Start with easy-peel stickers.
