Texture Play

As you help your child dress, put different kinds of fabrics on their bare feet. Talk about how a soft blanket feels on their toes. Then switch to something else, like a scratchy sweater, and describe it. Watch your baby’s reactions and then respond. Which textures do they smile at or pull away from?
