Games for babies from 4 months old: Ooo
Peeping games are extremely suitable for teaching children to socially interact, as well as building memory and visual expectations for your baby. Use this game as a basic foundation to teach children to share the same attention with their mothers and they will definitely be excited to play!
Suitable age: From 4 months old
Development skills: Games for babies from this age will help children understand fixed objects, help them understand that objects they cannot see can still be nearby and they will find.
My way :
Hide her face behind her fingers, say "peek"; then opened her hand, revealed her face, and said: "wow".
When you let your baby play this game with you very early, your baby will automatically form a "concept" (in his own style) about the temporary absence of his mother. She was not "gone", she was just playing a game. And only a few seconds the mother appeared again. You can gradually increase the “peek-up” interval to 10 seconds or more.
Game baby peekaboo is as fundamental to teach children about the same attention, interaction with the mother.
Some suggestions when playing peek-a-boo help increase the fun and appropriate for each age:
- Instead of covering the mother's eyes, cover the baby's eyes with his hand when playing this game.
- When your baby gets used to the game, mother and baby cover their faces and open them at the same time, they will surely enjoy it. The time when the baby "poop" in the palm of the hand is longer, then "burst" with the mother, helping the baby to adapt and learn gradually "away from his mother".
- Use a towel or thin sheet to cover the mother's face when playing so that the baby can pull the towel easily.
In addition to the mother's face, the baby can peek out with a funny stuffed animal or a favorite toy. You can put a towel over the toy, and then watch your baby say "uh"; Next, you pull out the towel and shout "peek".
Games for children from 8 months old: Soccer Mom does not need to wait until the toddler is to "mess around" with the soccer game. Right from the age of 8 months, with the support of the mother, playing this game will help the child move the agility of the body and the stronger leg muscles.
- Hiding behind the door or seat and jumping out suddenly.
- Or you can paste or draw human faces with different emotions : happy, sad, natural, ... on a cardboard, then cover the drawing with thin cloth (fix the top of the sheet. cloth is made of glue, the lower part is left open so that the baby can open it on his own). Mom, encourage the baby to open the cloth. Before your baby is about to open it, tell him a story related to the emotion his face is about to see behind the cloth. It could be: "She met you today, he greeted her and she smiled at her so she was very happy!". When the baby opens the cloth and the picture appears, remember to shout "wow" to make the baby excited!
