2. Balloon Kicking

This idea comes via Laughing Kids Learn. Great if you have a helium balloon around the house. Tie the balloon loosely around baby’s leg and let her kick away.

3. Tissue Box Play

Use an empty tissue box and give baby items he or she can put in the box and pull out. You can use anything from scarves to milk bottle lids. Just be sure the baby doesn’t swallow whatever you choose. Idea via Learn With Play At Home.

4. Edible Finger Paints

This one is a bit messy, but you can allow baby to paint nude so you don’t get any on clothes and you can put down a tarp or do it outside. Visit i Heart Arts n Crafts for details.

5. Spider’s Web Discovery Basket

The Train Driver’s Wife created this fun discovery basket with a laundry bin, string, and some stuffed animals.

6. Pom Pom Drop

A paper towel tube becomes a fun coordination challenge for the baby. It also helps build fine motor skills; via Laughing Kids Learn.
