The Animals In the Jungle Say
(Tune to the tune of "The Wheels on the
Bus")
The parrots in the jungle say squawk,
squawk, squawk,
Squawk, squawk, squawk, squawk,
squawk, squawk.
The parrots in the jungle say squawk,
squawk, squawk, all day long.

Continue, substituting additional
animals:
Monkeys…eee, eee, eee
Lions…roar, roar, roar
Tigers…grr, grr, grr
Snakes…sss, sss, sss

Play with your baby with
stuffed elephants, lions, and
tigers (if you don't own any,
head to the toy store for some
fun). Be sure to name each
animal for your child

Baby Okey
Capture your baby squeaks and
squeals on tape. Insert a fresh
tape into a portable tape
recorder. Seat your baby in her
infant chair and sit down beside
her. Turn on the tape recorder
and talk to your baby, make
mouth noises, vocalize in a
variety of ways, and so on, to get
your baby to talk back.
Pause between your
vocalizations so your baby has
a chance to answer you. After
you’ve both made some funny
noises, turn off the recorder and
play back the tape for your baby.

Upsy Daisy
Lay your baby on a soft,
unslippery surface, such as a
carpet. Sit at her feet, facing her.
Place your thumbs in your
baby's palms and let her grasp
them. As she does, wrap your
fingers around the backs of her
hands. Slowly pull your baby to
a sitting position and say, "Upsy-
Daisy" as you go.
After your baby's had a moment
to see your happy face and
enjoy the game, lay her back
down and play again.

If You're Happy and You Know It
Sing "If You're Happy and You
Know It" to your baby, moving
the appropriate body parts for
your baby as you sing.

Touch and Tell
Prepare a number of
interesting foods for
your baby to touch,
taste, and smell —in
very small amounts—
such as fruit flavored
gelatin, yogurt, banana,
O-shaped cereal,
oatmeal, spaghetti, and
so on. Spread a plastic
floor covering in the
kitchen, and place the
highchair on the
covering. Seat your
baby in the highchair
and place one food
item on the tray. Let
your baby play with the
food for a few minutes,
exploring it with her
hands and mouth.
Remove the food and
offer a second item for
exploration.
Watch your baby’s
expression as she
examines each new
food. Make sure to
name and describe
each item as you place
it in front of your baby.

Face to Face Interaction:

Sing to your baby during his
bath time:

Splishy, Splashy
Splishy, splashy
In the tub,
Wet the soap,
Then scrub, scrub, scrub.

This is how
The washing goes:
Start at the head,
Then go down to the toes.

Wash the shoulders,
The belly, the knees.
When you get to the feet,
No tickling, please!
