Everyday things like cooking and playing help your child to learn new words, put sentences together and practise having conversations.
Simple things like chatting about what you’re doing can help spark your baby’s senses and everyday tasks like changing a nappy can be a great time for lovely interaction.
Playing “let’s pretend” games gives your little one a chance to try out their new skills and brings the big real world into their home in small ways they can relate to.
Whether there’s time to build a “spaceship” from cardboard boxes together or you use bathtime to make up a story together about the toys going to the beach, it’s all great stuff.
Let your little one choose a doll or other favourite toy, and together make up a story about how they are going on an exciting adventure.
