For: Infants

What you'll need:: Empty oatmeal container, colorful pictures or photos, clear contact paper (available at hardware or discount stores).

Cut a piece of construction paper to fit around an oatmeal container. Glue colorful pictures (from magazines) or photos on the paper. Cover the oatmeal container with a piece of clear contact paper. Place the container (on its side) on the floor during your baby's tummy time. This will give your child something to look at while on his tummy and encourage him to reach out to grab it. Join your baby on the floor to point and talk about the pictures!
