Keeping Baby Happy

Finding activities for babies can be challenging. All though the days are long the weeks and months are short during this stage. The baby stage barely lasts a year! Before you know it your infant is a toddler. It’s a challenging time for kid activity bloggers too! I know when I was in this stage I also found it challenging to come up with ways to keep my twins busy while I tried to make dinner or clean up after lunch and this is my job!!

But the good news is that you don’t need a ton of ideas to get you through this stage. Just a few key ones that you can repeat every week will keep your baby happy and learning. You can substitute items for instance instead of using cork one day you can use straws for a posting activity.

The great things about many of these activities is that they are great for developing your babies’ fine motor skills as well!

Keeping it Safe

When it comes to playing with babies safety is your key concern. You will want to make sure that any activity you set up is going to be safe for your baby who is most likely still putting things in her mouth.

At this age you don’t want to discourage this exploration. It is a key stage in development and a way babies learn about their world until after 12 months.

So you want to make sure that you use taste-safe items or things that are edible or you want to use age appropriate toys.

Remember supervision of your baby is key at all times during these activities.
