Thinking - Be curious
Emotions - Relax
Relax on the soft play mat. Use massage and lullabies, rocking and soft pressure to encourage relaxation. It is never too early to start experiencing relaxation techniques!
Encourage curiosity about the world and what is in it. Experience new textures, shapes and sounds. Start to seek hidden objects and reach for things you want. Begin to recognise yourself.
Communication - React
Play Peek-a-boo. React to high interest objects moving and making sounds. Watch and start to copy facial expressions of others and notice how your face changes in the mirror. Develop the motivation and the skills that lead to communication.
Movement - Watch it move
Develop depth, colour and shape perception. Start to explore hand-eye co-ordination. Track movement of high interest objects. Move eyes, head or body to seek out colours, patterns and textures. Soft spaces make experimenting with movement safe.
