Baby Play

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Parents are natural teachers, but they often need inspiration to direct their babies' energies into interactive activities, as well as guidance on what games to play and how to play them. Baby Play offers parents, older siblings, grandparents, and other caregivers baby-friendly, skill-building activities that are easy and fun to do. Developed exclusively for this book by Gymboree's play experts, each activity is based on ideas pioneered in the Gymboree Play and Music Programs.

The activities included are for infants from 0 to 12 months and are grouped according to age-appropriateness. Activities range in scope from quiet observation and reading time to boisterous climbing games and music making. Each activity helps your baby develop skills, whether physical, emotional, social, or cognitive.

Each activity was conceived first and foremost to be fun -- development and learning naturally follow. Whether you're new to parenting or want to expand your existing repertoire of activities and songs, Baby Play is a wonderful tool. It will help you and your baby learn new ways to play together, help your baby develop skills and learn about the busy world, and -- most important -- give your family hours of fun.
