Play With a 3-Month-Old Baby - Put him on his tummy on the floor. Roll a ball about 2 feet in front of him. With a little practice he'll be able to coordinate his eye and hand movements and reach toward the ball.
Ring a bell while he's watching, and then ring it again just out of his line of vision. See if he'll turn and search for the bell with his eyes.
Play With a 3-Month-Old Baby
Play music with a strong rhythm. Try a variety songs - fast, slow, loud, soft - and soon your baby will learn to recognize the difference.
Bring your baby outside. Place him under a tree, and he'll enjoy listening to the leaves, watching light and shadow, and seeing birds and airplanes go by.
Sew a bell securely into a wristband and put it on his wrist or leg. Noticing the sound it makes when he moves will help him develop body awareness and eye-hand coordination.
At three months, a baby's favorite toy may be his hands. He'll use them to explore his facial features, and he might join his hands together and let each hand take a turn playing with the other. He'll enjoy interacting with you, too. (The following information has been adapted from Dr. Segal's book series, "Your Child at Play.") - by eHow
