Slow floating movement can really captivate babies and helps them build visual tracking skills essential for focussing as they get older, making this activity perfect to help your little one's eyes develop.

Ingredients

  • Lightweight 'dancing' scarf 

  • A safe space (even on your knees will do!)

Method

  • Float scarf slowly above baby and get their attention with baby talk and cooing

  • Move scarf from side to side, up and down, even gently on their face

  • Pause the scarf to wait for their eyes to track (and catch up!) 

  • Repeat!

How to level up

  • Introduce multiple scarves or gently blow around your baby's face/hands/feet 

  • Add a foil blanket under baby
