Outdoor Fun
Blow bubbles for infants, naming the parts of the body they land upon. “The bubble’s on your head. Uh-oh, there’s a bubble on your tummy!”
Sing songs and finger plays while outside with infants. Give infants musical instruments to shake, rattle and roll while you sing.
Take toys outside and play on a comfy blanket. Hide a toy behind your back, asking “Where’s the ball?” Bring it back to the baby saying, “Here it is. Here’s the ball”
Take infants on a stroller ride, while naming the sights and sounds. “Look at that bird! It says, tweet, tweet.”
Find a shaded area and look at books or a photo album with infants. Point to and name pictures of familiar objects or people.
