Activities at Week 74
- Ride-On Toys: Grab a toy that your toddler can sit on top of as you bring them around your house or on the sidewalk. Your toddler has to stay on by holding a handle and using their legs. Helps baby learn to use their eyes and hands together and builds gross motor skills.
- Foot Paint: Did you know kids can paint with their feet too? Let them step in brightly colored paint and use their feet to create a masterpiece. This is best done outside, but if it’s a rainy day, you can put some plastic down on the floor for an easy cleanup. Helps with baby’s sensory development.
It’s Important to Remember:
The activities listed over these next few months are designed to help your baby as they move towards the following eighteen month milestones.
If you are concerned that your baby isn’t meeting these milestones by eighteen months, trust your instincts and talk to your healthcare professional.
