activities for newborn

Tummy time in small increments, sidelying play (both with black and white imagery in front of them), reading to them and talking to them/narrating your moves and everything you do, mobility and body awareness exercises like touching their hands to their feet, clapping, tapping feet together and movements like rolling them side to side with hands on knees. These all help with development as well and help them sleep after stimulation.

Massages and letting them feel different materials and textures are great too!

thank youuuu

Highly recommend the Lovevery play gym

I sing a lot and tap her tummy so she can feel the rhythms. Or use a rattle to shake along to the song.

Play mat with high contrast cards to look at and hanging rattles to bat around, tummy time, sing/music time, practice pulling to sit once they have some head control.

I second the Lovevery play gym. It also has a book that gives tips on age appropriate activities.
