Stack me up before you go, go – the excitement of a pause!

What you need 

• Blocks or other stacking toys 

What to try 

1. Build the blocks into a tower in front of your toddler. 
2. Pause when you get to the top and make eye contact with your toddler. 
3. Then say ‘1,2,3’ and pause before you knock it over saying the words ‘GO!’. 
4. See if they can knock it over themselves the next time.
