What will your child practise?

Notice a movement and a word together.

What you need

A large sheet of paper and a thick, age-appropriate crayon. The adult holds the crayon for a baby.

Step by step

  1. Slowly draw a large raindrop and softly say “tap”. Pause and follow your child's gaze.
  2. Continue when your child looks back. A toddler can trace a path with a finger or scribble alongside you.
  3. Point to the mark and repeat the sound. Finish when your child turns to something else.
