Paper Play with Friends
Parent facilitates a simple paper-tearing activity with your child and another baby, observing social interactions, imitation, and shared enjoyment. The agent coaches the parent to notice peer engagement, attention-seeking behaviors, and joyful expressions — building early social skills and cooperative play foundations.
Free to do together whenever you like.
