This activity will help your baby to strengthen his legs

Whether it is the exhilaration a toddler feels when beating on a bevy of kitchen pots, or the way a familiar tune can soothe a crying infant, music is a powerful influence in every child's life.

In addition to the joy it brings, music is also important to a child's development by strengthening the ability to concentrate, increasing coordination through movement, and encouraging language development through exposure to new words and patterns.

Step-by-Step:


Gently place your baby on his back on a soft blanket.

Hold baby's feet and gently glide them in a bicycle motion. The more you practice this activity the stronger your baby's legs will become.

Sing to your baby using the melody from "All Around The Mulberry Bush" and substitute these words:
This is the way we bicycle, bicycle, bicycle,
This is the way we bicycle to get our feet to move.

Materials:
A soft blanket
Your sweet voice
