Small Talks which can be a better start

Ideas to make them help in the kitchen with vegetables. In a week decide a day they going to clean these vegetables or peel it Tell them we going to use these cleaned vegetables which they cleaned to cook and let everyone know they helped with the cleaning of vegetables. Praise them, children love when they are praised, appreciated, applauded and given attention Pick a game such as counting, name the colour, parts of plants, racing, and make them sit. Make them put each vegetable in the container and let them open and close those containers. Children love to play with containers and open and close the lid many times. This will keep them occupied much more time. Let them carry those containers and keep them in the refrigerator or designated place. They enjoy doing these tasks of carrying as well. Give them two containers one is for waste and one is for vegetables. This will improve their analytical skills and sorting activities. Make mistakes and see how they correct you. E

Please do these only if you can supervise. These activities are for kid

Those toys were tied at a place where the baby could see it, basically on the side or  above the baby’s head. This basically improved their sight. Seeing basically meant, improving their vision, and trying  to move their heads side by side looking at the toy which is making sound and thinking from  where is the sound coming?  The toys which were tied with the sound on the crib had long strings infants tried kicking,  catching those colorful strings. These moments were basically are hand-eye coordination moments a big milestone that  infants take. When the babies are small we always have toys that they can easily grab to improve their  hand-eye coordination. The development of fine motor starts from a very small age around, 1 or 2 months.
