Unlike adults, children's fun is simple. Just a soap bubble or a fantasy game can make your baby laugh forever. Although simple, but these 2 games can "follow" the baby throughout childhood. Even when I get older, many kids still love it, mom!
1 / Game for kids: Soap bubbles
In the period from 4-12 months old, babies' limbs will become more flexible, can "grope" everywhere. Once you see something in your eye view, your baby will hold out their hand until they can touch it. This is how your baby's hands learn to follow signals from the brain.
Soap bubbles can make your baby's bath time more enjoyable

- The game will help your baby develop eye-hand coordination skills
- How to play with your baby:
Have your baby sit in a bath chair placed on a plastic mat, rug or towel. Then, the mother will blow gently for the bubble to slowly fly out for the baby to capture. Even if your baby cannot catch the ball, he or she will be very interested in touching the touch of reaching out and then holding it again. Note, avoid the bubbles from getting into my eyes, mom!
Continue blowing bubbles on your legs, arms, hands, abdomen, and elsewhere. When blowing the balloon to the point, you can name each part of the baby's body like "Now I will put a bubble in your hand" or "Can you see a bubble on my stomach?" If you want to let the bubble burst so that your baby can watch for a longer time, you can make your baby's skin a little more humid.

Slowly lift your arm over the baby's head and say, "Now you will come out of the cocoon and become a beautiful butterfly." At the same time, the mother can hold the baby's hand up and down like a flapping of wings. “And now you can fly. 1,2,3 flying… ”. Repeat the game many times, and your baby will gradually learn to flap his arms like butterflies.
