Activities at Week 67
- Sock Fun: Have baby push plastic eggs or balls through a sock with a hole cut out at the toe. This is a simple activity that baby will find very entertaining. Helps baby use fingers to build fine motor skills.
- Salon Ready: Turn the bath into a salon. Wash their hair and ‘style’ it. Try funky styles like a Mohawk! This can be great practice before baby’s first haircut. If baby does not like this – don’t force it. Helps baby develop sensory skills.
It’s Important to Remember:
