 Baby
Be Loved by Susan
Ann Stelfox is a spiral bound,
unique book that at first glance
looks like a wall-hung calendar.
But it's not . . . at least not in
the usual sense of the word. It's
a casual, but well-thought out
weekly guide for "Growing and
learning together during the first
24 weeks" of your new baby's life
-- those all-important six months
when new parents must begin the
process of developing life-long
relationships with their new
babies while aiding their
emotional, cognitive, physical,
and social development..
Baby Be
Loved is not a
definitive schedule or measure of
your child's development from
birth, as each child develops in
their own way and time. But it is
a quick week-by-week
doctor-approved reference and
daily guide of simple,
age-appropriate ideas and
activities:
• Loving parenting "tips"
• Bonding ideas
• Parent-child creative play
suggestions
• Baby and Mom exercises
• Lullabies, songs and rhymes
• Finger plays
• Activities to help your baby
comprehend cause and
|
effect |
|
• And fun images and colors to
stimulate baby's
|
|
developing vision!

Visual Stimulation
|
|
| Baby Be Loved
provides a wide range of interesting
graphics to entertain your baby and
stimulate visual development! It starts
with simple, black and white patterns to
provide the maximum contrast during the
early weeks. Bold, primary colors and
more complex patterns are introduced as
your baby's vision develops.
Interesting facts on early visual development:
- Babies can see from the moment of birth.
- Newborns see most clearly between eight and twelve inches directly
in front of them.
- Babies are able to distinguish a human face from all other
shapes and patterns.
- Enjoy high-contrasting patterns such as checkerboards, stripes
and bulls-eyes.
- Prefer bold, vibrant colors.
Lullabies, Songs and Nursery Rhyme

Can’t remember the
words to your favorite children’s songs?
Baby Be Loved
contains a variety of traditional songs and
lullabies! And the songs are scored in music
notation for the instrumental player.
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle.
That's the way the monkey goes.
Pop! Goes the weasel!
Nursery Rhymes
Nursery rhymes go
beyond playful games. Nursery rhymes and poems
with an up-and-down rhythm and tone emphasize the
musical characteristics of language. Rhymes with
gestures help to link actions with the action
words. It is said they improve a child's memory
and anticipation skills. As your child grows
older, nursery rhymes will help with the beginning
phases of reading. Build a repertoire of songs and
rhymes and sing, say, or play them frequently.
Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed
To see such a sport,
And the dish ran away with the spoon.
Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,
Upstairs and downstairs, in his nightgown.
Rapping at the window, crying at the lock,
"Are the babes in their beds, for it's now ten o'clock?"
Fingerplays
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker man!
Bake me a cake as fast as you can.
Pat it,
And prick it,
And mark it with a "B".
Put it in the oven
For Baby and me!

(as with a fork)
(draw a "B" or baby's initial)
(pretend to do so)
(point to each of you. Hug and kiss!) |
