Let’s Go For a Walk

Materials You Need: Two soft blankets.

What You Can Do Together: Place the two blankets, one on top of the other, so that your little one has more support and softness on the back. When you have the two blankets ready, place your little one on his back. To start the activity, make sure there are no obstacles on the way.

Take the ends of the blanket and start dragging your little one around the space of the room. During the activity, I recommend that you talk to your little one and ask him or her: What do you see in the room? Look at the ceiling. What's up? Do you see these toys, whose are they? Think of other questions or statements that stimulate your child's language and movements.

What Your Child is Learning: This will help your child in his or her development when he or she begins to speak. Try to maintain balance within the blanket to develop strength, balance, and encourage him or her to move more.
