Sensory play for babies: lights, sounds and gentle movement
In the first year, babies learn through their senses. Soft lights, real sounds and a familiar voice are the best ingredients.
Your voice comes first
The most important sound for a baby is your voice. Use gugiboard as a reason to talk, sing and smile together.
Lights and colors
Colored Light Bulbs and Light Factory show bright, simple changes that babies love to watch. Tap slowly and pause between taps.
Real sounds
Animal and instrument recordings on the Sounds board are gentle and short. Watch how your baby reacts and choose the favorites.
Calm music
Baby Relax songs play softly in the background. Keep the volume low and use them for quiet moments.
Keep it brief
For babies, a couple of minutes on your lap is plenty. Then move to tummy time, toys and cuddles.
