Let's look at some photos – I wonder what we’ll see?

What you need 

• Photos – these can be printed or on your phone/tablet 

What to do 

1. Find a comfortable place for you and your baby to sit. 
2. Start by showing your baby a photo of them. 
3. Talk about who you can see. 
4. If they enjoy looking at the photo, find another one. This might be of familiar people, or a place you have recently been to. 
5. Encourage your baby to point at the photo.  
6. You might say something like, “Ohh there is Grandad David, can you see him?” 
7. Continue with the activity for as long as your baby is interested. 

Good to know 

This is a lovely thing to do if your baby is feeling tired, or if they’ve been upset. Seeing photos of themselves and the things they’ve been doing is a great distraction and usually lifts the mood.
