To have fun and interact with your baby you can play together with everyday things you have at home:
- A cardboard box can become a car or train
- A plastic bowl or metal pan can become musical instruments to bang
- A squishy sponge is an adventure in texture
- A wooden spoon can be a magic wand

The most important thing is YOU. Your baby will learn so much from the simple activities contained in this short leaflet.
