About this adventure
A market is a feast for the senses: bright colours, new smells, busy sounds, and friendly faces. Carrying or walking your baby through the stalls exposes them to a rich, real-world environment far more varied than home. Letting an older baby touch a smooth apple or smell a bunch of herbs links words to direct sensory experience and builds comfort with new people and places.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Walk slowly past stalls, naming fruits and colours.
- Let baby safely touch or smell an item or two.
- Talk to vendors so baby hears social exchanges.
