    Activities with baby

    - Picking things out of and into boxes, for example using a claw box or picking toys from a basket or similar.

    - Playing outside with a bucket and spade.

    - Read and look at books together.

    - Games where you take turns like rolling a ball between you or building with blocks. Help by putting into words what is happening, what the child is doing and what you are doing.

    - Playing with things that can be opened, made noise with and moved is fun, such as unwrapping packages, picking with kitchen utensils or empty packages.

    - Explore rooms by crawling around and moving around. Until the child learns to walk, many people appreciate a baby walker or a baby swing.

    - Drag toys with wheels behind you.

    - Pretend play with the phone.

    - Prancing, for example by chasing each other crawling.

    - At 10-12 months, you can let your baby sit in a safe swing. Put into words what happens when you swing.
