Chasing the Balloon
Parent shows baby an inflated balloon floating and moving in different directions, encouraging visual tracking without handing the balloon over. The agent coaches the parent to observe smooth pursuit eye movements, attention span, and reaching motivation — building visual processing and early cognitive engagement.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Baby seated in supportive seat or on parent's lap, alert and attentive. One inflated balloon ready. Important: keep balloon out of baby's reach at all times for safety — this is a watching activity only.
