Outdoor Fun
Take your baby for a walk, 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 your baby. Point to and name pictures of familiar objects or people.
Take toys outside to play on a comfy blanket. Hide a toy behind your back, asking “Where’s the ball?” Bring it back to your baby saying, “Here it is. Here’s the ball”.
Blow bubbles with your baby,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 your baby. Give him/her musical instruments to shake, rattle, and roll while you sing.
