Games for Babies

No need to engage in structured games for babies. By simply encouraging your baby to imitate you, they are learning. For adults, imitation can be the sincerest form of flattery but for babies, it truly is a learning tool.. They observe others and then copy body movements. This is how babies learn to hold a phone to their ear and a spoon to their mouth.

According to Andrew Meltzoff, co-author and co-director of the UW Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences. “Babies are exquisitely careful people-watchers, and they are primed to learn from others.”

In the beginning, your face is your baby’s whole world. Babies can only focus on things that are between 8-16 inches from their face, so snuggle in close and try these fun copycat games for babies!

Here are simple games for babies to boost brain development:

Make Funny Faces

Smile Wide

Wink Eyes

Stick Out Tongue

Raise Eyebrows

These games for babies will improve vision, hearing, brain development and social skills. Your baby will learn how to give and receive attention!

Full of activities for infants and games for babies, Teach My Baby is the multi award-winning all-in-one learning kit for babies 6 months+. Requiring no screens, the kit has everything necessary for teaching baby the basics and encouraging imitation and brain development.
