Finger painting is a fun thing you can do with a toddler. I made edible finger paint, put down some paper, then stripped my little Picasso down to her diaper–she had a great time! The recipe: 1 Tbsp of water and drops of food colouring (liquid). Just mix and paint. When finished, put sticky child into the tub and rinse off (it did not stain her body).

Introducing books at an early age is the best way to raise a child who enjoys reading and does well in school. Here’s how to share story time with your little one.

Reading to Baby

 

  • The earlier babies are exposed to reading, the better they perform in school.
  • Babies have short attention spans, so start by reading for 10 to 15 minutes once or twice a day.
  • At four and five months, babies like to look at images they're familiar with, such as other babies, animals and basic objects.
  • Board books are best until age one, as paper books tend to get chewed and torn.

 

As I sat reading Goodnight Moon night after night to my unresponsive one-month-old, it was difficult to convince myself this classic was actually for his benefit. But experts recommend reading to your newborn from day one. "They won't understand the story or be able to follow along, but they will benefit from the intonation and inflection in your voice," says Dr. Tanya Remer-Altman. To view the full story click here.
