Splish, splish, splash! Did you take a moment today to make bath time giggly, musical and fun? For you and your baby, water play is a great sensory experience -- mixing play time, water, a rhyme, baby and you!
And although we call it play, your baby's mind calls it thinking, experimenting, figuring it out, exploring and problem solving. Play that taps into many of your baby's senses, is fundamental in helping your baby learn, prompting actions or responses, and interacting with others.
This week include some sensory play time. Take a look around your house for a common household item that would be engaging, fun, safe and employ many of your baby's senses. You don't have to limit yourself to the bathtub! Some ideas: empty boxes, pots and pans, or just plain paper can provide sensory play opportunities.
Until our next Kindermusik day,
Miss Peggy
