In parenting, don't forget to involve Dad too!
Swinging
This familiar game lets Dad gently swing his arms to give baby a boost, making the ride more thrilling.
Sliding Down the Slide
To add a twist to this classic game, have dad form a "ladder" with one side of his body and a chair. Let the child climb up the "slide," with dad's arms serving as the handrails.
Flying Airplane
Add airplane sounds with your mouth to heighten the fun. For extra excitement, Dad can stretch his arms and legs up and down to simulate turbulence, making the child squeal with delight.
Giddyup, Giddyup, Little Horse Gallops
This game really lets Dad's imagination run wild: gentle shakes mean the horse is trotting, while bigger bounces mean it's galloping. You can even make it run left and right, making your baby squeal with delight.
Rolling Ball
With baby hugging their legs and curled up, Dad can gently push and roll baby's body left and right, even spinning them 360 degrees.
Swallow in Flight
This game might be a bit challenging for your baby—they'll need to tense their whole body and stretch their legs straight to avoid touching the ground and hurting themselves. This up-and-down flapping motion is also a workout for dad, stretching his entire body and loosening his waist.
