What to do with this activity?

Show and talk to your baby about the different colours and shapes that you see, when you are in your home or out and about together. Point out different colour cars, flowers, balls, or whatever you see. Talk about any round,square or triangular things you come across. That way your baby will learn new words. As your child gets older ask them the names of the colours and shapes they see.    

Toys like the one in the picture above, or similar, where your child sorts out shapes, are good for giving your child the chance to explore and learn about shapes. Talk to them as they play, giving them the right words. 

You can click on the yellow activity link below if you have an android smart phone (any smart phone that is not an iPhone). The activity link will bring you to a free app. Use it to show your baby colours and shapes and how you can match them. This is great if you are out and about and stuck for things to play with. Similar apps are available for ipads and iphones. 

Sit your child on your knee and name the colours and pictures on the app. Don't leave your child alone with your phone.
