improve neck and upper-body strength while
improving visual tracking.
It also requires balance as the baby lifts
herself off the floor.
Place your baby on her tummy with a soft
blanket beneath her.
Surround her with several colourful toys.

3. Get down on the floor with your child and
encourage her to reach for her toys.

bottles with various materials, such as a
rice, beans or a small amount of water.
 Sit with your baby and help him roll the bottles.

the bottles.
 The sensory bottles can be used during tummy
time as well.
 As your baby grows, encourage him to roll the
bottles on the floor and scoot after them.

coordination and gross motor skills.
