Time

  • 5 to 10 minutes

  2. Demonstrate pulling to bring the item closer.

Extensions

  • Make several yarn toys so your baby can choose which to pull.
  • Sing a song as you swing the toy back and forth toward or above your baby, just close enough that it can be reached.

  • Use 2 objects and pull them in different directions so your baby can choose which one to follow.
