Play is important to your baby's development in al Play is important to your baby's development in all sorts of ways! . Here are some of the skills your baby is learning while you play: . 🥰 Communication skills - Infants learn very quickly that certain faces and noises receive a big reaction from you! They learn when they cry, you will be there to comfort them and when they smile you will smile too. . 🗣 Voice recognition - As you talk and sing more to your baby, he or she learns your voice and eventually learns to respond to the sound of your voice. . 💪Gross motor skills - Holding your baby in different positions, doing tummy time, and allowing them to freely move their arms and legs are all ways your infant is developing gross motor skills. . 👀 Vision - your baby's vision is still developing and by putting your face close to your baby's or showing them colourful images from a story, you are helping their vision to strengthen and develop. . . . #baby #babiesofinstagram #infants #infantsofinstagram #childdevelopment #ideasforkids #importanceofplay #bridgewayfamilycentre #earlyon #peel

Does your child have a favourite song to sing?🎶 Does your child have a favourite song to sing?🎶 Not only do many children love music, but they are learning a lot when they sing, dance, and listen to their favourite tunes! . Here are just some of the things your child is learning through music: . 🎵 Music builds children's vocabulary. Matching actions, photos, puppets and props to the different songs is great for expanding your child's vocabulary. Children's songs are filled with descriptive and labelling words. For instance, you may sing The Itsy Bitsy Spider and THE GREAT BIG SPIDER - emphasizing the difference between big and small. . 🎶 Music encourages dancing and dancing is great exercise! Spin, jump, run, and wiggle to your favourite songs to practice these gross motor skills. Dancing is great for children's overall health and well-being. . 🎵 Music teaches math skills. Many children's songs are filled with numbers and teach counting as well as simple addition and subtraction. . . . #kids #kidsofinstagram #babiesofinstagram #howdoeslearninghappen #wellbeing #childdevelopment #importanceofplay #bridgewayfamilycentre #earlyon #peel
