Great, now let's try the next part. And while she touches it, repeat the word cold. Next, do the same with the bowl containing the warm water. Tell me what your child does — any reaction counts!
Watch for: Baby like soft things more than rough ones.

One more thing to try. During this activity, observe if your baby has a different reaction to the ice and the warm water. Does she prefer one to the other? How does your child handle this? What do you see?
