None.
Age: 6–12 months; choose for the individual child.
Set up: Hold your awake baby securely or sit face-to-face while they are supported in a safe position.
Adult's role: Watch your baby's cues and stop if they turn away, seem tired or do not enjoy the game.
Let's make it happen
- Smile and say hello to your baby.
- Briefly cover your own face with your hands, then uncover it and say hello again.
- Pause for your baby's response and repeat only while they seem interested.
Make it simpler: Keep your face visible and offer a gentle smile and hello.
Clean up: No cleanup needed.
Never cover your baby's face. Stay with your baby throughout and follow their cues.
