Children live to play and play to learn. When your child mimics the nursery songs you croon, he's not only bonding with you, he's trying out your language. When your daughter claps her hands, she's not just having fun, she's learning body awareness, cause and effect, and rhythm. And what do you gain from playing with your children? Play offers a window into your child's soul. You'll find out what makes him laugh and what holds his attention. The way you interact and play at the earliest stages will strengthen the bond between the two of you and lay the foundation for a lifetime of trust and closeness. Like the popular playgroups, Fun with Mommy & Me introduces visual and musical patterns, poetry and rhymes, arts and crafts, songs and dances, along with general fun and games. Moms and children are encouraged to follow along as they learn about each other as well as the fascinating world around them.
