Have you ever wondered why babies stare so hard at you? Your eyes are amazing to them! Aren’t we all captivated by lovely, big eyes? Your baby has a natural attraction to faces. While he is staring at you he is making a map of your face and memorising all your details. When you talk to him and sing to him, his experience is heightened to an interactive one. This stimulates his brain even further and really gets those brain-growing connections going. Widen baby’s interactive experience by using props such as a face puppet on a stick . Even a very young baby will find a large face drawn onto a paper plate quite captivating. Sing “Baby Face” (lyrics below) by Bobby Darin to your baby while gently rocking your puppet to and fro in front of baby’s eyes. Hold the puppet about 15 to 20cm away from his face. Baby face You’ve got the cutest little baby face There ain’t nobody can ever take your place You baby face My poor hearts jumping You started something Baby face Well I’m in heaven when I’m in Your, your fond embrace Yeah I never need no shove Cuz I just fell I fell in love with your Pretty pretty baby face Let’s twist awhile Baby face, you know you got the cutest baby face They’ll never be nobody to take your place You baby face You got my two knees knocking You ain’t the girl with a hole in your stocking But you’re a baby face I’m in heaven when I’m in your fond embrace yeah I never need no shove Cuz I just fell in love with your Pretty pretty baby face
