Babies have a natural love for towels, and they often enjoy playing with them themselves! Mommy, why not play towel games with your baby? It can improve your baby's tactile and body coordination abilities, and help them develop better. Let's play towel games together.
How to play the towel game
1. Towel wiping: After the baby has undergone touch massage, bathing, or swimming, use a towel to dry all parts of the body, with a focus on wiping the baby's palms and soles of the feet.
2. Towel wrapping: Wrap the baby with a towel, being careful not to wrap around the baby's head. Use your hands, pillow, or soft cushion to gently press from the baby's chest until they reach their ankles, or you can gently push them back and forth with your hands. Wrapping the baby in a towel will give them a feeling of being tightly embraced, which can directly stimulate their skin, enhance their body coordination and sense of gravity.
3. Rolling towel: Use a large towel to roll up the baby, then quickly pull apart one end of the towel and let the baby roll to one side along the opening of the towel. This game needs to be played on a spacious carpet, or you can lay a blanket on the ground. Do not do it in bed to prevent the child from rolling under the bed and falling.
PS: Playing towel games with babies can increase their tactile perception by using towels or blankets of different textures. It's best to talk to your baby while playing games, telling stories, or listening to music.
