We doing some really powerful about science experiments that also incorporate a sensory experience. These are the activities that kids ask to do over and over again. The best part, is that these sensory science experiments encourage kids to slow down. We all know how excited kids can get during the Halloween season. These can be an invitation for a little peace and calm, all while having fun and learning!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

1. How to dance:<\/strong><\/p>

It\u2019s a while yet until your baby will be up on the dancefloor and boogieing to their favourite tunes. But even at a few months old they can move to the beat. One\u00a0study\u00a0found that babies are literally born to dance!
Researchers looked at babies aged 5-24 months and found they could move in time to a beat. \u2018The better the children were able to synchronize their movements with the music the more they smiled\u2019, say the experts. Awww.\u00a0
So if you\u2019re playing music, or their favourite toy plays a tune, they may well start moving along in time to the music.\u00a0The\u00a0VTech Play & Dream Kicking Piano, suitable for babies from 3-18 months, attaches to your baby’s cot or can be used for sit-down play.\u00a0With 5 plush piano keys they can kick or press, there are plenty of opportunities for a boogie!\u00a0Your baby can press the rabbit button to hear 15 minutes of upbeat music, or slide the owl for more soothing tunes.<\/p>

2. How to make you lough:<\/u><\/b><\/p>

No, you\u2019re not imagining it \u2013 your baby really IS trying to make you laugh.
Experts at the\u00a0University of Portsmouth\u00a0found that from the age of 7 or 8 months, babies deliberately use their faces, bodies and voices to make us adults laugh.<\/p>

According to the researchers, this includes them waving their \u2018sweaty\u2019 feet in the air for you to smell them, or knocking over a tower of blocks their sibling has \u2013 very carefully \u2013 built.\u00a0By around 10 months, your baby will be playing with things they know they shouldn\u2019t (from your phone to the TV remote). And by their first birthday they will find it very funny when \u2018rules\u2019 are broken, like you trying to put on their hat or pulling silly faces when you shouldn\u2019t!<\/p>

They\u2019ll love their very own VTech Squishy Lights Learning Tablet. Suitable for babies aged 6-24 months, they can have fun pressing the buttons (helping with their fine motor skills). And they’ll get a sensory and early language boost from the flashing lights and animal sounds and songs.<\/p>

3. How to make a mess:<\/u><\/b><\/p>

Half of parenting seems to be tidying up after the kids. And your baby learns early on how to make a mess! This is especially true during the weaning stage when their favourite game is smearing food on their faces\/ clothes\/ highchair\/ you.<\/p>

Give them another focus at mealtimes with the\u00a0VTech Twist & Spin Lion. It has a handy suction cup at the bottom to secure to your baby\u2019s highchair tray or your table. They can then spin the beads on the hoops and boost language skills by pressing the lion\u2019s buttons to hear fun phrases.<\/p>

4. How to move quickly:<\/u><\/b><\/p>

You know babies start to move in their first year, whether that\u2019s rolling, crawling or even first steps. But what you might not know is how quick they are!
In fact, they are (mini) masters in causing you to panic: they\u2019re on a playmat one minute, and the next they\u2019re trying to cruise on the furniture.<\/p>

Give them a boost with the VTech Crawl & Learn Bright Lights Ball. Suitable for babies from 6-36 months, it has a built-in motor that makes the ball roll. As your baby crawls to reach and touch it, lights flash. Your baby can have fun pressing buttons and hearing numbers, sounds and songs.<\/p>

And to give them a helping hand when they\u2019re on their feet, try the\u00a0VTech Baby First Steps Baby Walker. A 2-in-1 walker and activity centre, your baby can practice walking, then play with the activity panel when they need a rest.<\/p>

How to add up:<\/u><\/b><\/p>

Believe it or not, your baby is a budding mathematician! A\u00a0study\u00a0found that babies as young as 6 months have a sense of numbers. Scientists showed them displays containing different numbers of dots. Babies looked longer at the displays that had a new number of dots, showing they noticed a difference.
While that all sounds very scientific, there are easy ways to boost your baby\u2019s early grasp of numbers. The\u00a0VTech Play & Learn Activity Table, suitable for babies aged 6-36 months, introduces numbers to your little one. They can see and hear numbers, along with other sounds, songs and phrases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
