  28. “Another idea . . . is creeping into the policy debate: that the key to early learning is talking—specifically, a child’s exposure to language spoken by parents and caretakers from birth to age 3, the more the better.” “Talking to baby has become part of middle- class culture; it seems like instinct, but it’s not.” The Power of Talking to Your Baby by Tina Rosenberg http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com

  29. Shake, Rattle and Roll – Ages 7-12 months

  30. Suggested Activity: Put the three rattles in front of your baby. Point out each red car, and each car with a face. Count the cars on each rattle. Showing your baby how things are alike and different will help them learn to sort information.

  31. A Puppy for Me – Age 1 year

  32. Suggested Activity: Ask your child to point to specific features of the dog’s face on the front of Where’s the Bone? Asking questions helps develop listening skills.

  33. Flitter Flutter All Around – Age 2 years

  34. Suggested Activity: Take the round pieces of the caterpillar puzzle and sort them by color and pattern. Talkwith your child about the shapes of the pegs and then assemble the puzzle. Learning to identify simple shapes will help your child learn to identify letter shapes.
