Curious Hands

Materials You Need: Small toys for your little one, for example, rattles, blocks, rings, dolls; soft blanket; pillow 

What You Can Do Together: Before starting the activity with your little one, prepare the environment. Place the blankets that you are going to use on a carpet or flat surface. Then place the pillow on the blankets. Your little one must be put down with her/his chest on the pillow for the activity to be effective. 

Next, place the toys some distance away so that he/she should reach out and pick up the toy. 

The objective of this activity is for your baby to begin to utilize and exercise muscles in her/his body and to stimulate hand-eye coordination. 

What Your Child is Learning: This activity helps your child develop fine motor skills and control of their smaller muscles.
