### **Cognitive Development**

**Heart Hunt**

Cut out several hearts from red construction paper. Hide all the hearts, except one, around the room. Show the heart to your little one and ask them to find the hidden hearts. Hide the hearts so that they can be seen or partially seen, depending on the ability of your little one.

### **Physical Literacy**

**Run to the Sun**

Use a yellow or orange ball or a circle cut from yellow or orange construction paper to represent the sun. Place the “sun” in a grassy area. Use a piece of yarn to mark a start line and encourage your little one to run to the sun and back.<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9JPJ8nQTIw>

### **Social-Emotional Development **

**Gently Rock**

Show your little one how to gently rock a baby doll or favourite stuffed animal while singing “Rock-a-Bye Baby” or your family’s favourite lullaby. Demonstrate how to hold the baby gently and rock it slowly. Encourage your little one to sing along, even if they only know a few words.

### **Language Development**

**Hand It to Me**

Gather a collection of toys. Sit on the floor with your infant and ask him to hand you a specific toy. If they don’t recognize the word, hold the toy and repeat its name. Place this toy aside. After you have asked for two or three more toys ask for the one you set aside again. Play this game often.

### **Creative Activity**

**Ice Painting**

Fill a few holes of an ice cube tray with coloured water. You can use food colouring or unsweetened Kool-Aid to colour the water. Freeze. Once frozen, head outside on a sunny day. Provide a large piece of paper for your little one. Give them the ice cubes to explore. The melting coloured ice cubes will leave marks on the paper.
