FOR INFANTS
Learning Objective – Developing positive emotional stimulation.Think of all the different places that are good for watching.
When babies can watch things move, they are happy.
A front-loading washing machine or dryer is fun for babies to watch.
Windows that are close to trees are wonderful watching places, or sit outside with your baby for an amazing amount of stimulation.
Watch birds fly from one place to another.
Watch cars moving down the street.
Watch the branches of a tree blow in the wind.
Take time to sit with your infant and watch together. Having you next to him will give him the comfort and security that he needs to enjoy the wonders of the world.
Ideas that take this activity to the next level:
For building confidence – Talk about how nice it is to sit and watch things together. Use lots of loving conversation.
For developing the idea – Name specific things that you are watching. For example, a bird, a tree branch, or the sky.
For moving forward – Say the words that you have just named in a sing-song high pitched voice.

Take his index finger, point it to the ceiling and say, “There is the ceiling.”
Do this with a few more objects like body parts, tables, and windows.
Now say the poem.
