Prep:None/Activity Time:34 Minutes
At this age, most babies say their first words. Your baby will collect new words to use, and she may say about a dozen words by the end of this stage. Expand her one-word response by stretching it into a sentence. Go a step further by making up a story, rhyme or song that has to do with your babys new favorite word!
Step 1:When your baby uses a word, stretch it into a sentence or two. For example:
Baby: Dog
You: Yes, its a dog. He has very soft fur.
Baby: Dog
You: Yes. Look at the cute dog!
Step 2:Take it further by making up a song, rhyme, or story about your babys word. For example:
That little dog is black and white.
He doesnt bark and he doesnt bite.
Hell run around and sit and stay.
Throw a ball! He loves to play!
Hell sniff your hand and give you a smooch.
This little dog is one nice pooch!
