YES! If I could lie down, I would! I just sit and encourage her with my arm movements! (Usually 1 handed movements, since I have the 2 month old in 1 hand!)

In reply to Wendy P.. I love that!! Thanks for sharing! And don't worry about the grammar. My baby is 5 months and I totally get what it's like to type one handed. Keep enjoying your little ones.

I love this article! It’s all so true & only a mom who had actually done all these things would know just how much enjoyment everyone gets out of these play time activities. So if I didn’t do these things with my kids already, then I’d know for sure after reading this article that kids really dig these things. I like to lay down on my back bending my knees and bringing them up like you would doing bicycle crunches. Then my kids, 1 at a time, lay their tummies on my shins & I’ll hold them with my hands too while I lift my feet up/down. They enjoy that but they love love love when I count while I lift them up & down when I get to 3 I use my legs to flip them over my head and they stick the landing. I never let go of them until their legs are already coming down to land. It’s actually helped them learn how to do front & back handsprings by themselves. But thats their favorite right above the Superman. (They hold my hands with my feet on their tummy & when they’re ready they push off the ground with their feet while I straighten my legs lifting them up like they’re flying) Now I can’t wait for my older ones to get home from pre k and school so we can play. Thanks for the great article & I apologize for my poor grammar lol my 3 month old is sleeping across me laying on both my arms so iit’s difficult to type. ?

Get ideas to play with your toddler. My kids are grown up, but my grand daughter is 2 today and she loves to be tickled and loves to wrestle. Little ones are so much fun to play with.

Great tips! When I play with my little cousins (and even the kids at school) I’m alwayss on the floor with them. It’s better to be at their own height.

Katelyn, these are such great tips. I know my guys had “better days” when we were engaging all day long….touching, sitting on “Mom or Dad’s” lap reading, playing…having fun!
