Preparing children for kindergarten and success in life
Brain
Development Fun!
Sing a nursery rhyme while performing actions to help infants associate words with actions and to develop receptive language skills.
Physical
Development Fun!
Help develop eye-hand coordination and grasping by encouraging the infant to reach or grab for toys. Talk to the infant about what he/she is doing.
Social Emotional
Development Fun!
As the infant is playing with a toy, describe the toy and what he/she is doing with it and encourage the infant to explore the toy in new ways. This helps to develop a self-identity and to continue developing a trusting relationship with a familiar adult.
