Handpainting
Create a lovely hand-painted keepsake that you can frame. Start by brushing paint onto your baby's feet or hands, and then press gently onto paper. That's it! Your mini masterpiece is complete.
Fun with porridge oats
Mixing up porridge oats is an exciting sensory activity for little fingers – your baby can use their hands or a wooden spoon and get stuck in. Just give them a wipe-down with baby wipes when they've finished.
Colouring with crayons
You're never too young to try and use crayons!
Simple colouring can help to develop your baby's grasp, create hand-eye coordination and aid the ability to judge distances.
Plus, they're mess-free and tons of fun.
