Stimulation Sensory in the child is very important and the games you play with him will be vital for his development. Here are some tips for your child to learn to explore the environment safely, spending unique and fun moments together.
The games that I will talk about are games for babies from 0 to 12 months and you will see that they are very simple: many of them are based on imitation, one of the most effective ways of learning. Do not forget that, being so small, the attention span is very short.
Play singing songs, fairy tales and stories
Although it may seem too young for this type of activity, all children love to hear the voice of their parents. You can tell stories or fairy tales by using different voices to represent the characters and exaggerating the tone of the voice.
This will help him, day after day, to learn the language better and therefore to understand what we say. In general, children also love songs, which relax and stimulate the sense of hearing.
play make faces
You may have noticed more than once how children react when someone makes a funny face.
Turn this all into a game: make faces, exaggerate your movements and you will see that little by little your child will begin to try to imitate what you do.
Water games
You can start by using a small basin with two fingers of water and with some small object inside from the basin. And if you notice that your baby likes it, then you can do the test with the bathtub, let him splash in a few centimeters of water and never lose sight of it. Of course, do not start directly in the bathtub because it could scare you.
Give him various toys that he can put in the water and see how he reacts. As it grows, you can do new experiments: water with different temperatures, colored water, ice... In short, let your imagination run free and fun (for both of you) is guaranteed.
tower games
Surely you have noticed that At this stage of life, destroying is more interesting than buildingAt least for the children.
Building towers and letting them destroy them is very important to them: it helps them understand the limits of their body, their body moving in space, their strength. In addition to putting them in front of one of the simplest cause-effect phenomena.
reflections
An object of daily use very loved by children is mirror. They are always surprised to see another child around and will do anything to reach out to find out that it is just their reflection.
Play hide and seek with your child in front of the mirror: you will be amazed by the magic of disappearing – you appear in the mirror image.
You can play the same game with a stuffed toy or other toys and then watch their reactions.
chinese shadow games
Shadows fascinate all children and the little ones even more. They love them because they don't have very developed eyesight yet and they are fascinated by the movement of the shadow on the white background, precisely because it has no clear boundaries or bright colors.
Try to create simple figures with your hands, in a kind of shadow theater and watch their reactions.
Soap bubbles
There is nothing easier to do and more successful than soap bubbles. All you have to do is make bubbles in the air and drop them near your baby so that she can grab them or gently burst them on contact with her body.
You will promote fine motor skills, sight and attention.
baby dance
Music generally calms children, and dancing also improves balance and coordination.. Pick him up and dance with him, moving his arms to the beat.
follow the sound
Again to stimulate the sense of hearing, here is another very nice game: place an object that makes noise near it, but without it being visible. You can use a rubber duck, a radio or an alarm clock. You can also move it in different directions so that it follows the path of the sound.
music boxes
Music boxes and carousels that hang from cribs are an excellent game for little ones: when they start to move you will notice that their attention is immediately captured by the movement of the toy and they will be delighted for several minutes.
If you can, change the games they have hanging from time to time and watch his reaction when he notices.
