Sure you know how to play patty cake and the itsy, bitsy, spider but here are some other great games to play with your infant or toddler.
--Make puppets out of brown paper bags and put on a puppet show for them.
--Show them how to make a ramp for their cars and trucks and watch them roll.
--Make an alphabet book by cutting out pictures from magazines that represent each letter.
--Blow bubbles and give them a fly swatter to try and hit them with.
--Play "bozo buckets" with balls and buckets. See how many balls they can get into the buckets. Move them farther away as your child gets better at it.
--Fill a big plastic container with water and let them sail their boats and play in the water.
--Make an indoor obstacle course for them to crawl over with pillows blankets, laundry baskets, etc.
--If you're brave, buy some face painting crayons and let them "paint" your face.
--Let them star in their own movie by videotaping them and then playing the tape back to them on your television.
--Teach them how to stack with margarine tubs, plastic boxes, etc.
--Even young toddlers love to dance: turn on the music and let them rock!! (This is also great for tiring them out).
--Play hide and go seek...they will love to hide and have you find them.
--Give young baby "airplane" rides and watch them squeal.
--Teach your baby how to recognize different textures. Let them play with sand, play dough, etc.
