Floor Pictures

Liz

Encourage baby to crawl to identify objects and familiar people.

Sit with your baby and flip through a magazine with brightly coloured pictures.
Pull out the ones, your baby points or responds to. OR
Choose a set of flashcards that you would like to teach your baby OR
Select some family photos.
Put either of these options into a plastic sleeve to protect them from baby (dribble, dirty hands etc).
Start off with 5 different pictures in each plastic sleeve.
Tape each plastic sleeve to the floor, where baby crawls. This area needs to be tiled in order for the tape to stick to the floor.
As baby crawls to each picture, name and describe what baby can see in the picture.

Replace pictures with new ones, if your baby gets bored.
Contact the pictures on the floor, so your baby can't destroy the pictures easily.
