Things and objects of daily use

Such a great source of toys are simply daily used things such as toothbrush, comb, plastic cup, sponge to bath etc.

I realized that Edie was fascinating by watching me while I was brushing my teeth or combing my hair. I tried to brush his 2 teeth too and comb his hair but he always run away from me. But when I let the things around him he got so interested and started to play with them and imitating me.

Game: Daily object

Surround your baby with the things you used on daily basis, such as toothbrush, comb, sponge for bath top,dummy, pencil, napkins, etc and show him what you used to do with them. He will try it for a while you will see and later he will invent his own way to used them. Edie for example started to brush his knee and his head and he was brushing my teeth. I nearly thrown up because he put the brush very deep to my mouth but we laugh a lot together.

Short video demonstration:

It is curious how many object are surrounding us and what we are supposed to teach our babies to use.

Advice: There is never to late to start introducing tools of daily use to your child. Just be careful which kid of tools you are giving your child. Probably knife and scissors are not the best tool for early childhood!
