Look and hold – time to explore some toys with your baby

What you need

A rattle or toy

What to do 

1. Lie your baby on their back.  
2. Hold the rattle or toy close to your baby for a few moments so that they can look at it and try to reach for it.  
3. Give your baby the rattle or toy and some space so that they can move it and practise putting it into their mouth.  
4. Smile and comment as they move and explore the rattle or toy. 

Make sure any toys or objects are safe for your baby to explore, and always supervise them while they play.
