Baby Obstacle Course

This is a fun way to develop motor skills.

Baby Sand

Exposing your baby to new textures helps to develop fine motor skills.

Fill and Dump

Play the fun game Fill and Dump, where babies will begin to practice fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination they’ll need for writing in the future.

Filling and Dumping

The “fill and dump” activities help infants build strength and coordination of small motor muscles.

Finger Plays

Sing songs that include finger and hand movements to encourage your baby’s eye-hand coordination.

Fun With Pop Beads

Play with your child using pop beads and help build their fine motor skills. For extra fun, write letters on the beads and to introduce some pre-reading skills too.

Fun With Sponge Blocks

Sponge blocks are easy to make and can provide your baby with exploration fun, while nurturing coordinated hand movements.

It’s Part of the Routine!

Talk and read to your baby about the routines you do together, like getting dressed, mealtime and bedtime.

Laundry Time

Your baby’s grasping skills are developing at this age.

Nesting Bowls

Pull out some plastic bowls and watch your baby have fun nesting the bowls inside each other.

Sing It, Baby!

Sing a song your baby knows, then help them connect their own sounds to the song.

This activity will give your baby some fun practice using her thumb and forefinger (pincer grasp) to get the yummy reward!

Yummy Finger Foods

Give your baby practice using the thumb and index finger to pick up small pieces of food and drop them into a bowl.
