Game for kids: Scoop flying and Mirror god

Did you know that babies are much better at memorizing and recognizing faces than adults? In addition, babies often tend to keep an eye on and imitate their parents' actions. With the following 2 games for your baby, the mother will both help your baby develop her abilities and bring her a moment of comfortable play.

1 / Game for kids: The spoon can fly

In fact, even before starting solids, the baby has observed how her mother uses the utensils on the table and is very excited to imitate her actions. And the following Flying Spoon game will be the easiest way for your baby to get used to using the spoon early.

Even if your baby is not in weaning stage, getting used to using a spoon is also essential

- Appropriate age: Children from 5 to 10 months old

Preparation: a children's spoon

- How to play with your baby:

In this game, the spoon will act as an airplane, and your baby's mouth will be the airport. Mother's mission is to help the "plane" to land and take off in the most professional and fun way. One of the very favorite "flying ways" is that when the mother holds the spoon under the table or chair, then suddenly flies out, straight up it vertically and gently "lands" at the baby's mouth. Try not to let the food spill out, mom!

In addition, the mother can also move the spoon horizontally with the baby's eye level or a combined up and down movement, like a dolphin show. During the process of moving the spoon, mothers can create a sound by themselves by mouth, with a clear rhythm to add "drama" to the performance.

2 / Game for kids : Mirroring

According to one study, babies from 5-9 months old have better ability to memorize and recognize faces than adults. As an instinct, children are born very excited to see faces. Compared to other shapes, babies tend to focus on standardizing images with a much better human face. That is also one of the reasons why children's toys often have a picture of a person on them.

Based on this principle, mothers can try to use the Mirror game to "have fun" and help the baby develop their abilities better.

According to many studies, regularly giving your baby a mirror is also a way of developing a baby's brain

Preparation: a small mirror or hand-held mirror

- How to play with your baby:

Place your baby on a chair or lie on his back on the floor. Mom should pay special attention to the baby's eye level. If the baby is lying on the floor, the mother needs to bend over or lie down beside him to be able to interact with the baby directly .

Warm up by slowly changing your facial expressions. For example, a mother can change from a smiling face to a sad, sullen, or pouting face ... Whenever the face changes, she can pause for a moment to observe the baby's reaction. Even when a little older, your baby may imitate his mother's actions.

Use the hand mirror to show your baby's facial expression. Along with this action, the mother can also have a little conversation with the baby “Are you very surprised? Looking at your face, are you having a lot of fun? " Besides, the mother can also make a certain type of face and tilt the mirror towards the baby so that the baby can see the actual image and what the image in the mirror will be.

Is your baby growing healthy? There is no need to take your baby to the hospital for a general check or use modern machines to test, mothers can still easily recognize the baby's health condition based on daily manifestations. Together "catch the pulse" for your baby!
