You&#8217;ll be able to both divert and assist her in discovering something new every day by playing various games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s take a look at what are the<\/span> <b>activity recommendations for one-year-old<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Pillow-Cushion_Tent\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Pillow-Cushion Tent<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the easiest activities you can easily perform in your living room is setting up a tent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try making a tent using pillows and cushions from the house. Use the wide and soft ones as a roof on the bottom and thinner cushions on top. If you take care that your little one is large enough to get in and out of the tent comfortably, you will set up a tent that will not tip over easily and allow it to linger for at least half an hour. Try to walk through this tent with your baby, hide or sit. This new area will interest and entertain her quite a lot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is an activity that develops muscles and joints, especially for toddlers or crawling babies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Colourful_Bottles\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Colourful Bottles<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every colourful and audible object attracts the attention of babies. That is why one of the practical activities that can be applied at home for babies one year or younger is coloured bottles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collect plastic bottles of various sizes. Remove and clean the labels on the bottles. Fill each with different coloured products. For example, fill the bottles halfway with materials such as chickpeas, rice, lentils, and beans, which you can easily find in every kitchen. If you want, add water to them and close the lids tightly. Put a blanket on the floor and place the plastic bottles in front of your baby. Take each bottle in turn and shake them to inspect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your baby will also follow the different sounds he makes as he examines each image. It will be possible to develop motor skills by holding and shaking, and the baby&#8217;s hearing sense with the sounds it makes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Animal_Voice_Imitation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Animal Voice Imitation<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this period in which the imitative aspects of babies are at the forefront, you can use your baby\u2019s imitation skills in everyday activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animal photos or miniature animal figures found in infant picture books might be used. Show your infant an animal and then try to imitate its voice. Encourage your baby to follow your lead and replicate the same sound. Even repeat the name of the animal you&#8217;re showing, so he becomes familiar with the names.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this activity, which will activate hearing and speech skills, your little one will learn new words and improve her speaking ability by using her imitation ability.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Nested_Containers\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Nested Containers<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the successful activities that can be tried at home to teach the concept of big and small is the nested containers game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select a variety of plates that can be nested in the kitchen. These plates should be as small and weighty as feasible for your baby to hold. (If you don&#8217;t have any suitable plates, nested plastic toys can be used instead.) Place the plates in front of your baby and demonstrate how to assemble them. Allow her to help you figure out which plate goes where.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Fishing\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Fishing<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The activities that babies have the most fun with are always those related to water. They like the sound and feel of the water.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a large bucket, basin or basket. Fill it with water. Let the water be at a level that your baby can easily reach from where he sits. Leave objects or light ping-pong balls that will not sink into the water. Give your baby a toy shovel or a bowl. With this shovel, let her collect the objects in the water one by one and transfer them to an empty basket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this activity, which will develop hand, arm and grip skills, your baby will also make progress in providing hand-eye coordination.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Color_Table\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Color Table<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The materials you need for this activity; are a large selection of art paper, tube paints of different colours such as gouache or acrylic paint, and cling film.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take the picture paper and pray paints of various colours on the paper in different places and gently cover the top of the paper <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cling film,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> trying not to scatter <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the paints. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wrap the cling film <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">well to the back of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paper and ensure that no paint comes out of the edge. Put this prepared paper in front of your baby and tell or show her to distribute these paints using her hands and fingers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this activity, your little one will learn how to use hand muscles and the feeling of accomplishing something. But just in case, don&#8217;t forget to put a protective suit over your baby and lay a cover on her seat. If you prefer, when your paper is dry, you can frame it as your baby&#8217;s first work.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Toy_Rescue\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Toy Rescue<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saying to a baby, \u201cOh! Where was this?\u201d should be the most important sentence and trying to find an object is among the most enjoyable games for babies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Show your baby an object and a toy. Also, say the name of this object. Then hide it somewhere in your immediate vicinity and ask where the object is. Ask her to find it and bring it. You can easily apply this activity, which effectively establishes cause-effect relationships from time to time during the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-32928 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bebek.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/play_and_learn_play_suggestion_for_your_1_year_old_baby-1-1024x775.jpg\" alt=\"play_and_learn_play_suggestion_for_your_1_year_old_baby\" width=\"1024\" height=\"775\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every different activity you do with your little one will undoubtedly positively impact their development.\u00a0 You can contribute to their development by doing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a <\/span><b>1-year-old baby activity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> based on a different sense or skill every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Would you like to share your experiences and questions as a comment?<\/p>\n<p>Wishing you well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first year of your baby&#8217;s life is critical for her mental and physical development as she develops social skills and awareness.
