Baby and Preschool

I admit it.
I'm the sort of mom who's guilty of doing things the last minute (ask my husband, he can confirm this fact!) Like, I find myself always on the rush when I leave the house with my baby. A few times I'd forget to take along a toy (or two) for her amusement.
If this happens to you, instead of stressing out and making a mad dash to the nearest dollar shop for a cheap teddy bear, here's what you can do...
Raise your hands up and look at them closely.
You'll find 10 toys that you've carried all along. What are they?...
... Your FINGERS!
Fingerplay is another great 'anytime anywhere' play tool! They help your baby acquire skills essential to their development and learning. Aside from being fun, here are the other 'grown-up' reasons why fingerplays are good for your child...
- they help improve and advance memory and language skills
- they help improve eye-hand coordination
- they help enhance gross and fine motor skills
So let your fingers do the... (umm) playing!
