Activities at Week 80
- Dancing: Have a dance party with your toddler. Put on some upbeat music and dance around the house or outside. Help baby’s coordination, balance, and increases creativity.
- Exploring ‘Guitar’: Put a few rubber bands of different sizes around a thin box to create a guitar. Let your toddler use their fingers to strum the rubber bands and make different sounds. It helps your toddler learn to use just one finger and strum a specific band. Helps with fine motor, listening, and visual skills.
