Activities to help you grow happily.
Even without understanding anything at all, your baby loves nature. You can spend unlimited time in the stroller watching the pigeons in the park and the bugs doing their thing, listening to the sound of a river, or scanning the shadows of the tree under which it stands. Nature has something that hypnotizes your kid and gives him valuable and subtle information about how things work. Get outdoors whenever possible and take advantage of the thousand and one stimuli that each season offers to have a good time together.
To turn
With the baby in her arms, she takes a large, wide leaf and throws it from the small bridge into the water. Your baby will love to see it fall (or launch it himself), check how slowly it goes down and watches it perch in the water.
Quickly rotate 180 degrees with the child in your arms and position yourself facing the other direction of the river (the one that follows the current). The objective is to see the leaf pass under the bridge and see how it continues on its way.
Look how he sails! Point to the sheet. Is it possible to follow her with her eyes until she loses her? or that does not show the least interest. The more you repeat it, the more you will like it.
The boat sails on the sea
After doing the above activity several times, repeat the experiment with a stone. The little one will be amazed to discover that the stone does not appear on the other side of the bridge. “Well, the stone does not navigate!”, You will see. What do we throw now, my love, a leaf or a stone?
With this game you train their ability to pay attention and follow an object while fostering their curiosity about natural phenomena, logic and language development.
Do we make a bouquet?
Flowers first … Making a bouquet of flowers, especially if you can collect them yourself from the field, can become an extraordinary adventure that will allow you to play with all your senses. With your little one attached to the body or in a sling or shawl if possible, take a walk in the field, choose the plants that you like the most and bend down to cut the chosen ones. Choose some green leafy plants and many varied flowers, as many as you can, and give them to smell while you tell him stories about flowers, forest beings or the bouquet you will make. “Look what more beautiful flowers we are going to give to dad!”
And then the meetings…
Once you have them all, sit down with the little one, his back resting on your chest. First select only the branches with the green leaves. Slowly show him how you do it.
