How to try it

Prop your baby and a baby friend on a blanket facing each other, close enough to reach. Stay beside them and guide hands gently as they pat, stare, and babble at one another.

Materials

  • Blanket
  • Cushions

Safety note

Stay within arm's reach — babies grab hair and faces, and toppling happens fast.
