Learn how everyday objects and playful interactions enhance your baby’s natural development! As babies become more mobile and explore their environment, how can we best support their development? This 5-week course has been developed from the research into how babies learn at this age and play at this age. Based on the principles of heuristic play theory, each class encourages exploratory baby-led play; parent-baby interaction, plus an opportunity for parents to chat and reflect on issues related to parenting and babies of this age range, refreshments for adults included. This course is for mobile babies (crawlers, bum shufflers or, very early steppers - age approx. 8-12) months to attend with their parent/primary care-giver. Places are limited to just 6/7 parents/babies per course.
