So... a lot of these ideas are not just for summer time. They are however more suited for a 1 yr old give or take a few months, seeing as how my daughter is turning 10 mo old, I really want to open her eyes up to everything wonderful out there in this world starting now. I found the majority of these ideas at
ourbabyoflove.com It is a wonderful blog full of great ideas for babies.
Sensory Play
- a bucket of water and a paintbrush (how perfect is that for a baby in the summer)
- non toxic finger paint on butcher paper
- sandplay
- musical instruments
- homemade play dough or jello
- reading books with vibrant pictures or interactive books
- filling and dumping containers full of blocks, noodles, or crackers
- singing nursery rhymes or even make up your own song about your baby
Anything that enhances and entices a baby's hearing, smelling, tasting, feeling, and seeing is going to be good and fun for them.
I appreciate this post as my daughter just turned 1!

3. You can add painting with pudding. Nothing like putting your baby in a diaper on the lawn with paper and a bowl of chocolate pudding. It's messy, but that's the point! :)
