Leaf shadows: a play idea for 0 to 3 months

You need: a blanket, a shady tree.

1. Spread a blanket in the shade under a tree.
2. Lay your baby on their back so they can see the leaves moving above.
3. Lie next to them and talk about what you see: "The leaves are dancing."
4. Pick them up for a cuddle when they've had enough.

Builds: thinking and problem solving. Moving light and shadow give your baby something calm and interesting to watch.

Safety: Keep your baby in the shade, and bring them in if they seem too warm or too cold.
