Important Tips for Parents while performing the activity with their Kid
• Don’t expect baby to focus
• Let them explore the objects if they want to, either before or after the lesson but not during the lesson
• Demo only- no testing! Logic concepts take time for baby to catch on to
• Use real life objects instead of only pictures
• Older babies: Introduce bigger, biggest, smallest etc using nesting toys
• During general play/meal/bath time, point out to real life big/small objects also to reinforce
• Keep lesson short- 10 to 45 secs depending on baby’s age
