Turn the handle and up it pops – comment to help your baby link words, actions and events

What you need 

  • A selection of toys that do something as a result of your baby’s actions, for example, a pop-up toy or a tower of blocks 

 

What to try 

  • Put the toys where your baby can reach and play with them.  
  • If your baby hasn’t quite mastered the physical skills to make the toy work, show them how to do it.  
  • Talk about what they are doing and what is happening as they play.     

 

Good to know 

Your baby’s understanding and vocabulary grow when you talk about what they’re doing.
