5 Stimulating Activities for baby’s cognitive development

Written By Lia Douglas

Enjoy this exciting and fun time with your baby watching them grow and development new little skills like holding a rattle, shaking a toy, reaching to explore, mouthing toys and making vocalizations! These are some simple things you can do to help your baby’s brain development. Make eye contact, smile, play social games like peek a boo, imitate their vocal play back to them, use a sing songy voice, read nursery rhymes or simple rhyming books and sing little songs to them. Enjoy and have fun!
