Activities for the Littlest of the Littles

Need some ideas of activities to keep your little one busy for a few minutes?  Here is a simple idea using a box and ping pong balls.  There is also a link to the Kids Activity Blog for more ideas of simple baby games.

What You’ll Need for Simple Baby Games

• A box with holes in the bottom (This is a yogurt box from Costco)
• Ping Pong Balls

It could not be simpler to set up this game, but it is my baby’s favorite way to play.  In fact, he got pretty creative after a few rounds…but, I’ll tell you about that later!

Note: If you can’t find this type of box , you could always cut holes out with a box cutter.

How to Play Simple Baby Games

1. Turn the box over and place ping pong balls nearby
2. Let baby practice picking up the balls and playing with the box
3. Show baby how to put the ball inside one of the holes
4. Let baby play!

After a few rounds of placing the balls in the holes, my baby turned the box upside down.

I love that he thought outside of the box {literally} and put his own twist on simple baby games.

Remember, baby games don’t need to be complicated to be FUN!
