Look At Your Ball

Materials You Need: Ball; blanket.

What You Can Do Together: To carry out this activity, you must prepare the environment where it will happen. Choose a room with few distractors, place the blanket on the floor or a large bed. Then lay your little one on her stomach on the blanket. You should sit facing the front with your legs open, one leg on each side so that you make a barrier in front of your little one.

Now talk to your little one to get her attention, when you do it, take the ball, show it to her and put it on the floor. Roll the ball slowly from one side to the other so that your little one can follow the ball with her eyes. Continue for about five minutes or until you see that your little one is tired. If your little one cannot lift her head yet, you can show her the ball by moving it only from the bottom up, little by little she will have enough strength to be able to lift her head and follow the ball with her eyes.

What Your Child is Learning: Strengthen your little one's muscles while stimulating their eyesight by developing the ability to follow moving objects with their gaze, a necessary skill to perform hand-eye coordination tasks such as reading and writing in the future.
