Music and motions – singing action songs to keep your baby’s attention
What to try
- Sing songs and say rhymes that have simple actions.
- Lie your baby on the floor or support them to sit where they can see your hands and face.
- Sing a song and do the actions as your baby watches.
- You can sing old favourites or make up your own simple actions for your favourite rhymes and songs.
