Do you have a tiny newborn at home who just joined the family?
A baby in its first steps?
A toddler with preferences, desires and inexhaustible energy for more and more fun?
So this article is just for you.
Bat Al Glazer
, a baby development instructor, shares with you excellent ideas to pass the time with fun, while also developing the baby's skills according to his age.
Sounds good?
Let's get started:
From birth:
●Read stories together and serve related foods after the children have already started eating solids.
For example: Eliezer and the carrot, the lion who loved a strawberry, hot corn and more.
●Have gibberish conversations with the little ones - funny facial expressions, exaggerated faces and low and high voices will encourage communication between you.
●Play music you like and dance together.
The movement develops the baby's weight system and warms the body.
Massage time - warm the room and massage the baby's body.
This is a great opportunity to touch, communicate, feel and connect.
●Look at home for accessories with different textures (soft, hard, rough, pleasant or spiky) and let the baby play with them.
The more the baby is exposed to more textures, the more he will shy away from changes later on.
●Lie on your stomach facing the baby and surrender to the ball, notice how he makes eye contact with the ball and improves lying on his stomach.
●Take a warm, pleasant and relaxing bath.
●Play hide and seek or tail games.
They are fun for any age.
Of course, depending on the age of the baby, you can challenge the game.
●Also allow time alone.
A baby of any age should not be turned on every moment, all the time.
Allow him to be with himself, to explore the body, the movement and the environment.
From crawling:
●Build an obstacle course at home from pillows, blankets and chairs and encourage the baby to go through the obstacles.
Challenge him to reach on his own and experience a sense of victory, thereby increasing his motivation to crawl - which is one of the most important elements for development.
In addition, crawling on different surfaces perfects the crawling skill.
●Draw the baby on a blanket, when he is lying on his stomach.
The sense of movement and deep touch develops his sensory systems and encourages crawling.
You can perform the activity while sitting when the baby has already learned to sit stably.
●Play cat and mouse - let the baby crawl under the blanket and try to catch him.
He will thus learn to distinguish between above and below and perfect his crawling skill.
From walking stage:
●Cook and bake with your baby.
Share with them the preparations and let them touch, feel and taste the ingredients.
●Even at this age, you can serve foods according to the books related to food that you want to read (for example, a bowl of strawberries during the story of "The Lion Who Loved a Strawberry" will be received with great love).

The Jama application was established with the aim of responding to mothers of babies between the ages of birth and three, and to gather for them content, activities, tips from experts and videos that will accompany them throughout this challenging period.
All the content in the application "grows" together with the baby and is precisely adapted to the stages of his development, so that the mothers receive only what is relevant to them and interests them at any given moment.
The Jama app is the place for mothers in Israel to meet and get to know other mothers around them, and to create new and exciting friendships in the fascinating journey.
