Chair dancing – it's not just for the old fold you know!

Put some funky music on and both take a seat. Try to get your baby engaged with the music by moving your arms and smiling. Your baby might start to copy some of your chair dancing moves, if they seem to be enjoying it, step the moves up and jiggle your body. Your baby may not be able to copy your exact moves just yet, but they will give it a good go. Occasionally, create a move where you turn the top half of your body to the left or right. When you turn, you can make some additional sounds like "Oooh" or "Huh," which may spark your baby's interest. If your baby is not very responsive, try again another day. They might be in the mood to do something more chilled.
