Suitable age: 8-13 months

Games for babies under 1 year old always need support from mothers
How to play:
Mother kneel or sit on the floor, hold the baby in front (how both mother and child look in the same direction), one hand around to hug the baby's chest, the other hand supports behind the baby's buttocks and thighs. Put the ball in front of you, then "support" by lifting the baby to kick the ball to make the ball move. When you are familiar with this game and can perform the act of kicking by yourself, you do not have to pick it up anymore, but just help your baby "control" the still not mature legs so that you can touch and kick the ball.

Mom remember to cheer and encourage baby every time the baby's feet come in contact with the ball and show the baby that the ball has been "moved" by her feet. And do not forget to let your baby bounce and dance rhythmically to enhance the strength of the legs!
Rest assured, even if the ball only rolls a few centimeters, the baby is very excited!
This game will be even more fun when your baby has friends to play with . Parents can hold the baby sitting in a position facing each other and kick the ball back and forth.
