Play guide
- 1Sit together on the floor with a large unbreakable bowl and a clean cloth. Make a quiet fingertip tap on the bowl, then a soft cloth rustle.
- 2Offer the objects one at a time, watching for a reach, look or movement that shows interest.
- 3Repeat the chosen sound gently, or let an older toddler tap the bowl with your support.
Success signals
The caregiver responds to the child's attention and repeats a real chosen sound.
If it's tricky
The child dislikes either sound: use a familiar soft greeting and finish the exploration.
