PLAY IDEA OF THE DAY

Switch Swatch

SUITABLE FOR AGES 0-2

Babies love to feel different textures, and a collection of fabric swatches is a great way to help develop his sense of touch. Gather a range of fabrics, from leather to silk to faux fur, and put them in a pile on the floor. Pick them up one by one and run them through your baby's hands, letting them tug and pet each one as they see fit. Talk to them about what they're feeling. As they get older, they'll be better able to grasp each item on their own. Because babies like to put everything into thier mouths, be sure any swatches you use are clean and big enough not to present a choking hazard.
