Touch and Name My Face
Parent lets baby touch different parts of their face and hair while naming each part aloud. The agent guides the parent to observe how baby reaches out, explores with open hands, and begins to associate words with body parts. This activity builds tactile exploration, fine motor control, and early receptive language.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Baby held on parent's lap or sitting with support, facing the parent at close range. Baby's hands should be bare and free to reach.
