Performing simple puppet theater with socks or stuffed toys to captivate a baby's attention, stimulate early language development, and spark the very first seeds of imaginative play.

Letting babies explore safe household materials — fabric swatches, dried pasta, cool water — to stimulate their senses and build early cognitive and fine motor skills.
