Get plenty of fresh air and explore what comes with the great outdoors (e.g., dirt, water, sand, leaves, etc.) Talk to your baby about what you see.
Allow plenty of opportunities for baby to move around by crawling, cruising or walking.
Limit time spent in equipment such as play pens, jumpies, strollers, walkers, and highchairs.
Offer simple household items for play and imagination (e.g., plastic bowl, spoons, cardboard box, washcloths, socks for puppet play).
Talk to your baby while you do everyday tasks such as, dusting, folding laundry, stirring foods.
Create a special reading spot where baby can reach and explore books on her own.
