You Will Need:
One or two scarves of different textures and colors
Directions:
When your baby is feeling happy and playful, lay him on his back on the floor or bed and stand or sit next to him. Take one of the scarves and wave it over your baby’s body. Hold the scarf over the baby within his reach and encourage him to reach up for it. Then, hold it off to the side and see if he can turn his body toward it. Say things like, “Where’s Michael? Peek-a-boo, there you are”; “Whee, it’s soft”; “Can you reach it? Stretch…that’s it. Yeah!”
Tip:
Let your baby get used to the feel of the scarf before you put it over his face and pick up on his cues if he doesn’t seem to like it. If he’s not interested in peek-a-boo, continue holding it over his body instead.
