Boogie Down
- Put on your favorite music and dance with your child.
- Let the child feel the way your body moves by holding him or her close as you move around. This body-to-body contact will stimulate concept development.
- Encourage your child or imitate your movements on their own when they are ready.
- Talk about your movements. For example: "I'm going to sway to this music." "I'm rocking." "I'm jumping and hopping around."
- Most of all, just have fun by moving and enjoying the movements together.
Senses used: proprioceptive, tactile, kinesthetic, haptic, hearing, smell, vision, vestibular
