Tie a piece of string to a favorite toy. Show your baby the toy and string
and then place the toy out of his reach. Encourage him to pull the
string to get the toy. Remember, since strings can be a hazard for small
children, watch him to make sure he does not wrap the string around his
neck.
Do you hear your
rattle, Rashid? Pull
the string some
more!
Show your child how to drop an object into a box and then shut the
lid. Then show him how to open the lid and reach in to find the object
again.
Juan, where’s
the rattle?
There it is!
