Children love playing with balls of all shapes and sizes. And with good reason: balls are great for group play, organised sports or just playing by yourself. They are also suitable for a variety of age groups (from babies to children and even adults).
“Ring a Ring a Rosie” is usually a group activity, but it is fun to play with just you and your baby. As well as being fun, this game assists in sensory and language development.
Using instruments allows your baby to experience concepts such as shape, weight, texture and sound. Shakers help to develop fine and gross motor skills while having some noisy fun.
Playing with wet sponges of differing textures assists in the development of fine motor and cognitive skills.
Putting on a light show provides the opportunity to improve your baby’s visual development and their fine motor skills.

“Where is Thumbkin?” is a lovely game to play with your baby. As well as being fun, it can assist in their sensory and language development.
