Stimulate your baby’s development with the game of avoiding obstacles
Turn sideways, sit down when necessary, come back… So that your child can master his movements, place various obstacles on the floor where you will play the game.
The obstacles, of course, should be simple and they shouldn’t have any kind of danger to him. Prefer:
– Medium sized cardboard boxes so that it rotates around them.
– Chairs and tables for him to pass under them.
– Folded duvets and pillows that he can pass through.
All objects you choose must be made of fabric, cardboard or plastic.
It is obvious that, in order for the child to crawl around these objects, it is necessary that you place toys in certain places, or that you put them in each of the corners where you want him to go, and call him to come to meet you.
You will see how happy he will be every time he reaches his goal.
Stimulate your baby’s development with the rattle play
Rattle in some parts of the world, rattle in others. Whatever the name, it is important that you stimulate your child’s development with the sound of this peculiar object.
The sound the rattle makes develops the baby’s hearing. The material’s colors stimulate vision.
When the baby picks up the rattle, he uses his sense of touch and when he moves it so that it makes a sound, he uses his motor skills.
Every time the child learns that moving the toy will make a sound, it will also coordinate all of his senses.
Stimulate your baby’s development with hide-and-seek play
Hide and seek for babies is very different from hide and seek for older children.
Here it is the baby who is always looking for something in a very small area of action.
- To play hide and seek with your little one, sit him on the mat facing you.
- Put several pillows beside him and get a toy he likes.
- Show the toy well and place it immediately under one of the pillows.
- Surprise him, open your eyes and say:
- “Oh, it hid! Where’s the toy?”
If your child doesn’t look for the toy under the pillow where it is, lift it up a little and let her see a part of the toy so she knows it’s there and go get it. When you find him, congratulate him!
Take the object right away and place it under another pillow.
Hiding and finding things will be fun and profitable for him.
When your child learns to walk, you can make small variations. The pillows can be replaced by the rooms of the house: behind the doors, under the beds… and the toy, by any member of the family, including you.

This game will also make it possible to identify the sounds and speak better.
