Here’s a final cute game I’ve found to play with Veronika using a flashlight, just before bed.

After her bath tonight, I simple shined a flashlight on the floor. Veronika was instantly intrigued with the spot of light on the floor.

Now drag the flashlight in a line or zig zag around the room. This game will be great for encouraging early crawlers, plus amusing for any already-fast crawlers! I shined the light in a path along the floor, and Veronika had to go chase it.

Almost there…

Caught ya! Babies will marvel that they are touchign the light but not feeling anything in their hands. The game is also a great way to engage older siblings in baby’s bedtime. Travis loved running the light around the room for her, admittedly sometimes too fast.
