Fun Activities to Do With Your Child to Help Them Grow and Learn

Raising a newborn can be a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun! There are so many simple activities you can do with your little one to help them grow and learn. In this blog post, we will discuss some simple activities that can be beneficial for your child like reading, dancing, and exposing them to music.

Reading is a great activity to do with your newborn. You can start by reading simple stories or even just looking at pictures together. This is a great way to bond with your child and help them develop their language skills.

It can be hard to know what books to choose for toddlers. They're young enough that you want simple stories with easily identifiable characters and situations, but they're also old enough to start wanting more complexity in their stories. Here are 5 great books that manage to walk that line perfectly.

"The Cat in the Hat" by Dr. Seuss is a simple story that toddlers love. The easily recognizable characters and clear plot make it great for young readers.

"Diary of a Worm" by Doreen Cronin is another great choice for toddlers. It is a simple story about - you guessed it - a worm. The illustrations are also basic and easy for toddlers to follow.

"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" by Bill Martin Jr. is a classic book for toddlers. Its clear, repetitive text is perfect for young readers. Plus, the bright colours and simple illustrations are sure to keep your toddler engaged.

"The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle is another classic toddler book. The light story and illustrations, and the story’s valuable moral about being grateful for what you have, make the book an excellent choice for a young child.

Finally, "Where the Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak is also a great choice for toddlers. The basic plot and illustrations are ideal for a young reader.

These are just a few of the great books that are perfect for toddlers. So get reading and enjoy some quality time with your little one!

Making your newborn listen to music is also a great way to help them grow and learn. You can do this by playing music softly in the background or even singing lullabies to your little one. This is a great way to help them calm down and fall asleep. Different types of music will have different effects, so it’s important to expose them to as many genres as possible. Classical music is known for its ability to promote brain development, but other types of music such as jazz, blues, and even rock music can be just as beneficial in helping your newborn develop their musical taste. So, turn up the tunes and enjoy some quality time with your little one!

Dancing is another fun activity you can do with your newborn. Just put on some music and hold your baby close as you sway back and forth. This is a great way to bond with your child and help them develop their gross motor skills. There are some great songs to dance with your newborn. While the classics like "The Twist" and the "Macarena" will always get people moving, there are plenty of more modern tunes that can get both you and your little one up and dancing. Here are a few suggestions to get you

• "Happy" by Pharrell Williams
• "Can't Stop the Feeling" by Justin Timberlake
• "What Makes Your Beautiful" by One Direction
• "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift

These simple activities are not only a great way to bond with your child, but they are also effective ways to help your newborn grow and learn. So, don’t be afraid to get creative and have some fun with your little one! They will love it and so will you! So, get reading, listening to music, and dancing today!
