Imitating Mom and Dad

Materials You Need: None

What You Can Do Together: To carry out this activity, you may take advantage of any situation or activity you are doing and carry it out because you only have to take your baby and place her/him in a comfortable position where you can have face-to-face contact.

When they're ready, try making different kinds of faces and sounds and wait the reaction of your baby.

  1. Here are some ideas:
  2. Sing her/him a song while moving your mouth exaggeratedly.
  3. Blink excessively.
  4. Stick out your tongue.
  5. Make faces.
  6. Make sounds by pressing your lips together. Cough and yawn.

What Your Child is Learning: With this activity, your child will be able to distinguish features of a face while developing sight and hearing to get to know the world affectionately and enjoyably.
