Activities at Week 66
- Double Date: Play dates help entertain baby and give parents social time. At this age, “playing” together can be letting baby and friend have their own items to play with while sitting next to each other. Helps baby feel comfortable spending time with new children.
- Sort and Separate: Gather 2-3 objects such as cups, socks, and spoons. Show baby how to group all of these similar items together. Then let baby have a turn. You can ask them to hand you certain objects by saying, “Can you give me the spoon?” Helps baby see similarities and differences.
It’s Important to Remember:

If you are concerned that your baby isn’t meeting these milestones by eighteen months, trust your instincts and talk to your healthcare professional.
