I can move to keep things in sight: An eyes and body game Purpose of the game: To teach your baby to use his body and lift his head and part of his upper body when watching a moving object. How to play Put your baby on his stomach and sit facing him. Use a ring of keys, or a toy that makes noises. Dangle the noise-making object in front of your baby’s face and say, “Look at the keys.” Raise the object slowly in the air to encourage him to lift his head and push up with his hands. Say something like, “Follow the keys” or “Keep your eyes on the keys.” Watch your baby and see if he can lift his chest off the floor.
Another Eyes and Body Game Move objects slowly behind your baby’s head. See if he will move around to find the object. Encourage your baby to use both eyes and both sides of his body when he is playing. For example, if you give him a toy for his right hand, try giving it to him in his left hand the next time.
