Sticker Fun *

This treasure hunt will have your baby searching right under her nose. With this game of hide-and-seek, your baby's whole body is a winner!
You'll be helping your 18 to 24-month-old's development when you try this fun activity together.



Learning Skills

•Body awareness
•Fine motor development
•Object permanence
•Social interaction

Materials:
• 20 to 30 paper stickers
• Paper and pencil
• Your baby's body

What to do:
1. Buy a variety of paper stickers that will interest your baby.
2. Write a list of all the stickers so you can identify them.
3. Draw an outline of your baby's body on a sheet of paper, both front and back.
4. Stand your baby in the middle of the room and apply stickers all over her body —some hidden, some in plain sight.
5. Read the name of one of the stickers from the list.
6. Have your baby try to find that particular sticker hidden on her body.
7. When she finds it, have her remove it and stick it in the appropriate place on the paper body outline.
8. Continue until all the stickers have been moved from your baby's body to the paper body.

Safety: Don't put any stickers in your baby's hair, and make sure to retrieve all the stickers when the game is over.
