About this play
Some of the richest play needs no toys at all — just your hands, your voice, and your face. Silly sounds, exaggerated expressions, and gentle claps teach your baby that people are endlessly interesting, and that they can make you laugh just by reacting.
How to do it (Step by step)
- Sit face to face and make a silly sound or funny face.
- Pause and wait for baby's reaction — a smile, a kick, a squeal.
- Repeat what delighted them, then try a new sound or face.
