Keeping a baby entertained is really quite easy. They enjoy exploring almost everything and love to take things out of a purse or from drawers.
1
Place the baby on their stomach or back. You can either place them on the floor or in a baby-safe seat. Make sure with there is a toy or an object in front of the baby so he or she can focus on that and play with it.
2
Find a set of plastic keys and jingle them in front of the baby. They can easily get distracted by something like this, and if you can』t find a set of keys, try a toy that shakes or rattles. The below toys are good examples: A rattle A container closed tightly that is filled with dried rice or beans An egg surprise closed tightly and filled with buttons or marbles - ensure they baby cannot access the buttons or marbles Four forks tied together with a rubber band - pointed metal things and rubber bands do not make ideal baby toys Maracas
3
Make funny sounds, talk to them, or even make faces. Babies love to be talked to and have their attention focused on you. Walk around the room with the baby in your arms so they can see what is going on.
4
Sing songs. Play "Patty Cake" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider" or other hand games. Play "Peek-a-Boo" by teaching the baby to lift the blanket up and down himself/herself.
5
Give the baby something they aren't normally allowed to play with, like plastic ware, pots, pans, empty boxes, or even a purse.
6
Go on an outing. Babies love to watch other kids. Take a little one to the park and let them watch the bigger kids play. Even going to a nearby area like the backyard, corner store, or checking the mailbox will entertain a baby.
7
Read a Book to a Baby or Infant. Try using different voices, tones, pitches, gruffness, and accents to make it more entertaining. Point at and name each thing on a page.
8
Build a tower out of blocks together or build a tower and let the baby knock it down.
9
Try moving the baby around the house, apartment, or whatever every half-hour or so. To the baby, it may seem like an entirely new place to play.
10
Take off the baby's clothes and put him or her in an empty bathtub to play for a while. Many babies love having some time without clothes on, and it can be good for treating and preventing diaper rash.
11
Bathe an Infant; many babies really enjoy a bath time. Parents love coming back to a clean, happy baby.
12
Put on some music and dance with the baby held in your arms (not too rough)!
13
Many babies love ripping paper, like newspaper. Just be careful that the paper doesn't get into their mouth. To help prevent such a problem, offer the baby a pacifier as he or she plays with the paper. Try to find paper that is very clean or uses soy-based ink if possible.
14
Make room for baby in their toy box and sit them in there with the toys to play.
15
Play in the closet or under a blanket tent with flashlights and other toy lights.
16
Always talk with them in funny way and create funny sounds that they will enjoy
