• Play Peek-a-Boo: Lay baby on a blanket on their tummy on the floor. You can lay on your tummy facing your baby and cover your face with your hands or a scarf. Then uncover your face and say “peek-a-boo.” Helps baby develop play and memory skills.
• Tongue Teezer: Stick out your tongue and encourage baby to try. Try this during diaper changes or playtime. Helps baby develop tongue control.

It’s never too early to start playing games to help your child reach their sensory, communication, feeding and motor milestones. These activities are designed to help your baby as they move towards their three month milestones. These games are not limited to this specific week. You can keep playing these games over the next several weeks as long as you and baby continue to have fun.

If you are concerned that your baby isn’t meeting these milestones by three months, trust your instincts and talk to your healthcare professional.

All the games are developed with and approved by expert pediatric physical and occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists.
