Sometimes the best games with babies require only the simplest tools; to wit, this adorable little activity for which you only need an empty toilet paper roll or two!

I spoke through one and called out Veronika’s name, and she eagerly trotted over. This was something she had to come see.

I held the tube up to her ear and whispered a few words. She turned her head eager to see where the sound was coming from!

Of course she wanted to hold one immediately. She babbled down into it, which changed the sound of her vocalizations somewhat.

And of course nibbled on it.

Finally, I held the tube against the bare skin of her arm and spoke into it, which meant my warm breath reached her skin. There were lots of giggles for that one!
