Brain Builders
Stimulating Activities for Your 4-month-old Baby
By Tammy Morey
Brain building skills: Builds head and neck control, strengthens core muscles, enhances coordination and encourages Baby to roll over from front to back and back to front.
Muscles exercised: Neck, upper body, upper and lower back, and core muscles.
Push, push, push,
Push, push, push.
Take your feet and push, push, push,
Push your little baby.
Repeat several times.
Lay Baby on his stomach. Kneel down behind him and put your hands on the soles of his feet. As soon as he feels your hands, he will try to bring himself forward by pushing his feet against your hands. Sometimes he may need a gentle push from you. While lightly pushing his feet, sing "Push the Baby."
Brain building skills: Builds both small and large motor skills at the same time, head and neck control, and upper and lower back. This is a preparation exercise for crawling.
Muscles exercised: Neck, upper body, upper and lower back, arms and legs, and core muscles.
Repeat on other hand.
