Research shows that positive sensory experiences coupled with social interaction contributes to a baby’s cognitive abilities. Lightly blow, touch or kiss a baby’s body part and in a singsong voice tell baby what that body part is. Ex. These are baby’s hands.

 

You can use the poem below for this activity:

 

Hello: With your face close to baby’s face say this poem:

Hello, hello, I love you very much.

Hello, hello my fingers they can touch.

Hello, hello, I’ll touch your little nose (touch baby’s nose)

Hello, hello, I’ll kiss your little nose (kiss baby’s nose)

Repeat this poem using other body parts, ears, cheek, toes etc…
