About this play
Long before your baby understands the words, they are absorbing the rhythm, tone, and structure of language just by hearing you talk. Keep up a running commentary on ordinary moments — nappy changes, dressing, feeding — and your voice becomes the soundtrack that teaches sentence structure and everyday vocabulary long before your baby can answer back.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Pick a routine task — a nappy change, dressing, or bath time.
- Describe each step out loud in short, simple sentences.
- Use the same words each time so patterns start to repeat.
