BABY GAMES
Invite your children to choose partners and take turns being
Parent and Baby. Let the Parent try teaching a familiar game,
such as Peekaboo, or a made-up game to the Baby. When the
Baby has "learned" the game, have the partners trade
places. Extend the activity by encouraging the Parent to sing
a song or a lullaby to the Baby. Continue as long as interest
lasts.
BABY, BABY
Tune: "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
Baby, baby wants a nap.
Rock him gently in your lap.
Watch him as he falls asleep.
Quiet now, don't make a peep.
Baby, baby wants a nap.
Rock him gently in your lap.
Liz
Ryerson
Let your children rock pretend babies as you sing.

TASTE AND COMPARE
At snack time, set out a few prepared baby foods, such as mashed
carrots, bananas, or peas and their "grown-up" matches,
such as carrot sticks, banana slices, and whole cooked peas.
Invite your children to taste and compare the foods. How are
they the same? How are they different?
