When you give him a toy, encourage him to crawl to reach it and let him figure it out himself so that he gets that sense of achievement.
Your baby will be intrigued with something “new” if you rotate toys and keep the rest hidden. He’ll love the thrill of being able to grab, bang, and shake all the different objects. Though you may have babyproofed your low kitchen cupboards by locking them shut, you might like to keep one cupboard open to store safe, unbreakable items like small pots and tubs with lids and wooden utensils for your baby to play with and explore. Let your baby handle and feel the different materials. Put clothes of different fabrics such as coarse wool, smooth silk, beaded materials, or netting in a tub, box, or bag. You can pull a funny face to create even more laughter. Your baby will be delighted as you reveal your face from behind your hands or from behind a blanket or tower. You can also name the features of the ball as you do it for example, you could say “Roll the yellow ball to me!” Once your baby is older you can also play this with a few different balls and say things like “Roll the big striped ball.” Traditional wooden blocks are nice, but you can also make your own box blocks by stuffing milk cartons, cereal boxes, or shoe boxes with paper and taping them shut. Piling blocks into a tower that can later be knocked down is a big favorite among many older babies and toddlers. Blow bubbles around your baby and watch him try to swat at them in wonder. He’ll love the sense of achievement, and he’ll love finding you waiting on the other side. Place a towel or blanket over the top, encouraging your toddler to crawl under the bridge. Pull two chairs together with about a yard between the backs of the chairs. Pile up pillows and blankets to create a mountain in your living room, and then encourage your little one to climb over and around it, as you stay close by. Create an obstacle course using pillows and boxes, and your little one will be thrilled at the challenge of getting over, under, and around the objects. Your older baby or toddler loves to crawl, climb, and explore. You may remember one or two from your childhood, but you can also check out these popular nursery rhymes. You’ll love seeing your baby squeal along even if he doesn’t yet have the words or actions down pat. Those rhymes and songs that have simple hand movements will particularly delight your little one. Sing or chant nursery rhymes together.Get your baby involved by helping him hold the book and turn the page. Point out the characters in the story and use expressive voices to bring the story to life. It’s great to start reading picture books to your little one at an early age. If your baby is old enough to stand with your support, he will love that you’re dancing hand in hand. Turn on some fun music and dance with your baby. Hold your baby up to the window and point out birds, passing cars, a squirrel running along the fence, or the shape of clouds. Seeing you press a switch that turns on a light or pressing a doorbell that makes such a loud sound will be magical for your baby. Another fun activity you can do at home is to show your baby how certain things work. Just make sure whatever you give him isn’t breakable or dangerous. Your baby will enjoy handling each item and banging it to see what noise it makes. Gather some safe household objects like an empty box, a wooden spoon, and the lid of a tub and let your baby pick which one he wants to play with. Make noise with random household objects.If you’re working from home or need some indoor play inspiration, here are some ideas for activities you can do with your baby at home:
