Your baby loves to play! It makes their muscles stronger and builds connections in their brain, too! Fill a box or basket with lots of baby-friendly everyday items. These objects are familiar to us but fascinating for babies. And let your baby explore! They get to choose what to play with. This lets your baby know they can make their own decisions!
Follow your baby's interests -let them decide how to play and you join in. Name the object your baby is playing with and repeat the name.
Use it in simple sentences. It sounds obvious, but your baby doesn't know what things are called. You're helping them learn words, and that different objects have different names. Play with the treasure basket as often as you and your baby like.
