PURE LOVE FROM THE BEGINNING
Can babies already play?
Absolutely! Babies can already play in their first months of life. Of course, playing for the first time is very different from playing later on, but if you observe closely, it is quite obvious.
Social interaction
Social interaction is a baby's first game. It observes its parents and siblings and reacts with alert glances, still somewhat awkward movements and first noises.What can you do?
Lots of physical contact, playfully massaging hands and feet
Direct speech and singing
Play silk for the ‘peek-a-boo’ game
Show objects and pictures with high colour contrasts, e.g. black and white
Grasping and sensory exploration
Babies discover their hands first and then begin to grasp objects more and more purposefully in order to bring them to their mouths and feel them. Grasping toys and rattles made of natural wood and dolls made of harmless cotton fabrics are particularly suitable as the first play material and for sensory exploration due to their material properties.What can you do?
Offer grasping toys and allow them to be touched extensively
Scented lavender dolls for the first nudge games
Rattles make noises when moved
Moving and locomotion
As the baby's motor skills grow, it also becomes increasingly mobile and starts to turn, push, roll and sit down, and the many playful movements develop into the first movement.What can you do?
Rolling play material inspires movement
Naturalness - safety - aesthetics
