An exploration into the world of patterns was the theme for today's play. I set up this quick invitation by laying out some colourful play dough and textured rollers for her to use. I then got her to go around the house and look for other everyday objects we could use to create different patterns. It's a simple activity which can help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and exploration of textural differences.
Exposing children from a young age to different kinds of books and reading materials is an important part of their development. It can help in language development and they'll begin to make the association of what you're reading to what they see. If nothing else, babies will just love hearing the sound of your voice.
Flash cards are a great way to interact and teach babies about the world around them in a short and concise manner.
Allowing children to play with play dough can be extremely beneficial for their development in more ways than you could imagine.

Such a simple activity that helps encourage younger bubs to practise their gross motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Inspired by one of our favourite books at the moment, this book play with play dough and coloured rice is a great way to engage little ones during story time.
