Executive summary about Play Toys by Trevin Wax
I miss the sounds of children playing outside in the neighborhood. There are many kids in our neighborhood, but few venture outside to play anymore. I suspect a good number are indoors playing video games or watching movies.
Give your kids access to non-stop entertainment, and you might begin to miss the sounds of children playing inside the house too.
1. Instead of watching a movie, create your own movie story.
In five minutes, organize the toys with your child. If you need a flood, have blue sheets nearby. Then, create an iTunes playlist with movie music that you can play in the background. Here’s our favorite five-song playlist for a twenty-minute story:
a. “The Wardrobe” – from The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.
b. “Prince Caspian Flees” – from Prince Caspian
c. “Battle at Aslan’s How” – from Prince Caspian
d. “Return of the Lion” – from Prince Caspian
You can anticipate the musical cues, and begin to play with the toys accordingly. The music makes the playing much more exciting, and it gives you a creative way of adding drama to the story. It’s fun.
2. Instead of playing Mario, let your son be Mario.
Set up an obstacle course in your living room.
3. See who can find Waldo and his friends the fastest.
For Christmas, we got Timothy the six-pack set of “Where’s Waldo?” books. It’s fun enough to look for Waldo and his friends together.
Happy playing!
What Infants Are Learning
Your baby in 1-3 months will even give you a smile! Encourage the learning process by talking to your little one, responding to his vocal expressions, and providing colorful age-appropriate toys.
You'll now see your baby's personality emerge. Your baby will be carefully watching your facial expressions and listening to your voice, responding to you with coos and gurgles, and around 2 months, respond to your smile with a smile. Babies also start to explore their surroundings with their hands, reaching out, swatting at, and grasping for a favorite toy.
