Look At Your Ball

Materials You Need: Ball, blanket

What You Can Do Together: To carry out this beautiful activity, you must prepare the place where they are going to do it. Choose a room with few distractors, place the blanket on the floor or a large bed. Then lay your little one on his/ her stomach, that is, on his/her tummy 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 his/ her attention, when you do it, take the ball, show it to him/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 his/her eyes. Continue for about five minutes or until you see that your little one is tired. If your little one cannot lift his/her head yet, you can show him/her the ball by moving it only from the bottom up, little by little he/she will have enough strength to be able to lift his/her head and follow the ball with his/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.
