How to Play with Your Baby (Hint: Involve the Senses!)

May 13 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Sometimes parents wonder how to connect with newborn babies - here are 8 fun things to try!

Did you know that newborns like sensory play every bit as much as preschoolers?  Of course, I’m not talking rice box or play dough sensory play but activities that engage baby using the senses (especially sight, sound and touch) are wonderfully engaging to young babies.

Recently eHow’s Mom Channel asked me to write a couple of posts on babies and sensory play and today I’m sharing them with you. I had a great time writing them and reminding myself of all the easy things I can do with baby M to connect.  For more info., check out:
