[Knowledge: Baby] Playtime for Babies - Month 4

At week 13:
Let your baby practice his most recent skill - rolling over. Place him on a quilt, lay him on his tummy, and show him a favorite toy just out of his reach. If he tries to roll, help him out so he begins to understand the cause and effect of rolling.

At week 15:
Put some entertaining mitts on your baby's hands and watch her wiggle away. You can buy the mitts or sew silly faces and bells to some of her socks. The new sensations of sound and touch allow her to further expand her world. When her hands get tired, move them to her feet!

At week 16:
Right now play for your baby is all about exploring, and the focus of his fascination can be as simple as a clean diaper. Hand one over and watch him hold it, shake it and suck on it. Hey, that can take several minutes! A rattle can also be a source of fun: Your baby will love the sound!
