Let's Laugh!
Parent uses two soft toys or puppets to create playful interactions that encourage baby to laugh and engage socially. The agent coaches the parent to observe baby's joyful responses, imitation attempts, and social connection during play — building early social skills and emotional expression through shared laughter.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Parent and baby facing each other in a comfortable position (baby propped up, in parent's lap, or on soft surface). Two soft toys or puppets within reach. Space should be safe and free of distractions.
