- Try the Baby Games Printable Pack, designed for children from birth up to 18 months old. An example of one of the cards that prints out is a swing game. The parent counts to three, pauses for a moment and then lets the swing go. Parents are advised to look for signs that the baby starts to recognize when the moment of release is approaching. All of the games involve the process of developing skills.
- When you are out of traditional coloring books or simply want to try a new activity, print out some coloring pages for your little one. Coloring allows your children to be creative, while helping to develop motor skills. This website includes a large assortment of different coloring pages, including Precious Moments, Halloween Monsters, Beauty and the Beast, Power Rangers and a plethora of animals. Educational coloring pages are available for older babies or small children.
- Working with your child to create paper dolls is a pleasant way to spend the day together. Different selections of paper dolls exist, including animals, toys and fantasy. There are also paper dolls appropriate for teenagers, so a babysitter can play along with the kids. Additionally, there are paper dolls set up for adults, as well. Once you have taught your child how to make paper dolls, you can each make your own together.
- Customizing Bingo cards allows you to tailor them to the age level of your child. While such a game would not be appropriate for a 3-month-old baby, you could create some that would work for those in the 18-to-24 month range. Instead of using numbers or words on the Bingo card, put pictures of animals or different colors on them.
