Congratulations on your baby. How great for you to be able to stay home and enjoy baby. Hey - how 'bout those Hawks? Woo-Hoo! You can use many of the same things you used with your 3 years olds, just in smaller amounts and you'll be monitoring closely. Like water, water with bubbles, sand, rice with cups and spoons, cornmeal, fingerpaint, roller paint, brush paint, cornstarch and rice goop mix, newspaper tearing and crumpling, playdoh. I'm not sure I'm saying anything you don't already know, or haven't tried. I'd just encourage you to involve baby in everything you do as well as watching to see what baby enjoys doing. Does baby show interest in the dirt when you are outside? There's your next sensory experience. Learn about the properties of dirt, then another time let baby add some water to it and find out about mud. Show interest in the washing machine filling up? Let her feel the water coming in and then the soapy water when full. Interested in being with you when you're cooking? Put some flour in a bowl with a spoon and have baby sit right by you while you cook. Watering flowers outside? Baby would love own watering can. Washing riding toys with soapy water is great fun. Get a package in the mail? Baby will love to walk and jump on bubble wrap, or throw packing peanuts in the air. Have fun playing with your precious baby!
