Hands-On Fun: Play Activities for Your 5-Month-Old Baby

By five months, your baby is becoming more coordinated and ready for hands-on play! Encourage their curiosity with toys that promote grasping, shaking, and passing objects between hands. Rolling a soft ball back and forth can improve their motor skills while tummy time remains a great way to build strength. Introduce textured toys or sensory books that they can touch, feel, and explore. Sitting with support allows them to observe their surroundings, boosting spatial awareness. Singing songs with hand motions or clapping games will delight them while developing their listening and social skills. These activities nurture both mind and body!
