Playtime provides excellent opportunities to teach your baby about words and touch. Try this pretend play activity the next time you are playing together to help your child develop a foundation for talking and reading.
Activity: Toe Tales (0-2 years)
Use: Playtime
Description: As you sit with your child, hold their feet and touch each of their toes, making up a story about each one. The small one is a little piglet that goes "oink oink!" The next one is his big brother, etc. Keep going and respond to what they do and say!
Brainy Background: When your child hears words and feels your touch, they're making connections in their brain between words and actions. When you respond to what they do and say, it helps them to develop the foundation for talking and reading.
Actividad: Historias de deditos
Uso: Desempeñar tiempo
Descripción: Mientras te sientas con tu niño, sostén sus pies y toca cada uno de los deditos de sus pies, inventando una historia sobre cada uno. El más pequeñito es un cochinito que hace "¡oinc-oinc!" El que le sigue es su hermanito mayor, etc. ¡Sigue adelante y responde a lo que tu niño hace y dice!
Fondo Inteligente: Cuando tu niño escucha las palabras y siente tu contacto, él establece conexiones en su cerebro entre palabras y acciones. Cuando respondes a lo que tu niño hace y dice, lo ayudas a desarrollar las bases para el habla y la lectura.
