Filled with developmental games based on the latest brain research, this book helps you build your baby's brain power--one activity at a time! Complete with lists of developmental milestones, every activity builds the foundation for future learning.
I started taking books out of the library so that I could switch up the games/activities I was playing with my little one. Baby smarts gave me lots of simple ideas that didn't require buying expensive toys. It really helped fill up the day with fun little games that benefit babies development.
No new ideas here, but a nice reference to remember games and activities appropriate for different developmental levels. It is sorted by age ranges and includes some baby sign language. Might be a nice resource for a teacher or therapist who could use it as a reference and storage of future ideas.
I started reading this book as soon as my wife gave birth to our son and i read one chapter (trimester), more than one time, every 3 months since then. It's very well structured, simple and at the same time it's backed by science, it's not just like these generic "Be the best dad in the world" kinda books. These games and activities are lots of fun for the babies but also for the parents and the book explains how the baby's mind work and learn at this first so very importand year! I'd recommend it to any new parent without second thoughts! A second book about the second year would be great!
great little book when the uncreative mom runs out of ideas for things to do. I like that its broken down by age group and by the current new milestone the kid has recently acquired.
