SCARVES
While your baby is young, they will enjoy the feel of the scarf against them. They will enjoy to see and feel the scarf floating in the air and in time they will start to see the colour.
As your baby grows you can play games with the scarf such as peek-a-boo.
You can use it as a prop within your sing songs such as ‘Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer’
The scarves are UKCA tested by an UK lab and proven to be baby safe.
Maracas, Egg Shakers and Bells
Maracas and shakers make a sound when moved which is great for helping to develop their hearing skills. Babies love to grasp new things, play with them by shaking them and making noises.
Your baby will learn to reach out for the maraca and shake by themselves which promotes gross and fine motor skills as well as hand-eye coordination. They are a brilliant way to learn cause and effect - when they shake, they hear a sound.
You may even start their love of music and as your baby grows you will see a real enjoyment for these items.
Team with some nursery rhymes for some music class fun at home.
LIGHT UP SPIKEY BALL
When your baby is ready for tummy time, put the ball out in front of them and they will love watching the lights. Especially if you lay them on the foil so the light bounces off the material.
As your baby’s grasp gets stronger they will love the feel of the ball as it’s texture is always a hit with sensory play.
Your baby will love to watch them as they float through the air. Watch their facial expressions if a bubble pops close to them.
As your baby grows they will be amazed by the bubbles and will crawl to catch them or will reach to try and pop them.
HIGH CONTRAST CARDS
High contrast patterns allow your baby to focus clearly in an otherwise blurry world. Use these cards to help attract your baby's focus and attention during the first 3 months.
Hold the card around 20 - 25cm away from your baby's face, keep switching cards every 10-20 seconds and continue for 3-5 minutes.
MIRRORS
Mirrors are a simple but great way to help your baby explore. Babies love looking at faces so mirror play is perfect for little ones!
By about 4 months they will be interested in mirror play, especially if you prop it in front of them during tummy time. A mirror can motivate your baby to lift their head and keep it up to have a look around.
