How To Play
In this version of peek-a-boo, you’ll be using the play gym and blanket to create the hide and seek. Start by showing your baby the blanket, letting them feel it and pull on it. Then toss into the air, but holding onto one side of it and allow it to float down onto the play gym, over baby. All while talking to baby. You can say “peek-a-boo” as you pull the blanket off. Repeat if baby is interested in the game. Leaving the blanket on for longer periods of a time. Encourage baby to pull the blanket off, if their skill level allows it. Lots of excitement is key.
