The best time to play with your baby is when he’s alert and relaxed. Watch your baby closely for signs of being tired or fussy so that you can take a break. You can reuse materials such as egg cartons, yarn scraps, toilet paper tubes, and boxes for many activities. By 18 months, it is age appropriate for your child to try scribbling with a crayon. Backyard swing sets and play areas are wonderful, but make sure they are safe by having a soft surface underneath. Plan times for everyone to get moving together.
