This is a great sensory activity for your young baby. It’s an easy activity that can provide a few minutes of fun. We like to do this in the highchair on the tray as it cleans very easily.
Plain yogurt
Food colouring (optional)*Note: Let the yogurt sit on the counter for a few minutes so it’s not too cold on little fingers.
- Encourages creativity
- Stimulates hand-eye coordination
- Adding a drop of food colouring adds visual stimulation
- Baby can eat it with no worries (as long as dairy is safe for your child)
- Baby can make designs with fingers, which helps develop fine motor skills
- Stimulates sense of touch
When doing artwork, don’t worry about always having your child produce a product. I have to admit I love keeping their paintings and random pieces of work, but sometimes it’s the process that is more important than the product. It is also the experience that builds creativity.
