If you're looking for fresh, playful ideas to spark your baby's curiosity, build their confidence and support their development, look no further!
Written by the renowned childcare experts at My First Five Years, the popular app designed to help parents support their child's physical, cognitive and emotional development, this unique book of 60 activities explains the why behind different types of play, and shows you how to make the most of short, daily moments together.
You might be wondering why your baby loves to show you objects they've found, or why they prefer some toys to others. Have you questioned why they can roll from their back onto their tummy, but not the other way around? This book breaks down the science of early childhood development into concise summaries, and includes easy, realistic ideas for play that make the most of development opportunities. The activities are clearly set out with step-by-step instructions, lists of equipment, and benefits for your baby.
The book is split into six streams of development - social and emotional, gross motor, fine motor, sensory, language and cognitive - and each chapter includes a summary of the underlying science followed by simple, fun play ideas you can do at home with your baby. From tasty finger paint to egg box puzzles, the ideas fit neatly into daily life and focus on enhancing play into pivotal learning moments. There are also QR codes featured throughout, linking to additional related content.
Beautifully colour illustrated and full of tips and advice, this book is perfect for building the foundations for your baby's lifelong learning, development, health and wellbeing.
