With this activity your little one will learn to distinguish, identify and locate where different noises are coming from, developing their auditory skills.
Although your little one was able to hear some noises in utero, they sounded distant and muffled. When born, your little one started to become curious about the new sounds around them, which is why exposing your little one to music and a variety of sounds helps them develop their auditory skills.
Before you start, we recommend that you look for music or other suitable sounds to show your little one. You can look for familiar sounds, like the bark of a dog, footsteps, a telephone, nature sounds, children laughing, or others. You can also include unfamiliar or rare sounds for your baby that will not bother him or her.
Now that you’ve prepared the sounds that you would like your little one to listen to, it’s time to start.
