Activities at Week 56

  • Simple Directions: Baby is learning at a fast pace. Instead of using babble or baby words, speak simply to baby. They should understand simple directions like “Roll the ball” or “No, don’t touch that.” Helps baby develop communication skills.
  • Shapes and Spaces: Use a shape sorter to talk baby about how to push shapes “in” the holes and dump them “out” of the container. Baby learns best by interacting with you and hearing the words you speak. Helps baby develop communication skills.
