Engaging in activities with your baby is both important and fun. Everything from smiling at your newborn to taking a walk with your toddler can provide quality time with your child and turn everyday experiences into great opportunities to learn. Take a look at some of our suggestions for getting active with your baby.
Storytime. It’s never too early to read. Spend valuable time together reading books at home or visit your local library for storytime and make reading a social event. Here’s a list of suggested reading.
Learn music together. Introduce your baby to music – it’s a great way to nurture your baby’s development right from day one. For musical fun for both parent and baby, check out local music classes and summer concerts.
Adventure in the outdoors.
The colors, sounds and smells of the outdoors are extremely stimulating
for babies. Take your young one on a walk, out for a picnic, to play at
a park, or for a visit to the zoo. Here’s a list of places to go.
Indoor playtime. From a game of hide and seek, to an art class with your toddler, there are lots of exciting ways to have fun with your little one indoors. Here's a list of area indoor play places.
Baby Yoga. Yoga while you are pregnant and after you give birth (with your baby!) can be a great way to relax and get to know your baby. Check out one of the many organizations that offer these classes. Where do you take your baby to play? We'd love to hear.
