High Chair Games Make Mealtime Fun
for Baby and You
Put on Some Music
Make mealtime a mini-entertainment show for baby.
Turn on the stereo and sing and dance along. The
smiles you'll receive from your "audience" will be
worth every melody you croon.
Play Peek-A-Boo
While you're spooning applesauce, play peek-a-boo
with the baby by squatting and hiding under the tray
and then popping up to surprise your delighted
little one. Not only will mealtime become fun time,
your legs will get a workout!
Put on a Puppet Show
Grab a few puppets (or small stuffed animals) and
act out a silly play for baby's benefit, using the
tray as a stage. This is a great way to pass the
minutes while you're all waiting for dinner to
finish cooking.
Get Messy
Try some new, fun foods at an older baby's next meal
- gelatin, shredded cheese, jelly, crackers, fruit
and grain bars, etc. Look for foods that have
exciting textures, tastes and possibilities for your
little explorer. Be sure to have a washcloth handy!
Try a Little Water
Put a small amount of water in the tray and let baby
splash away. A waterproof bib keeps baby dry but
doesn't inhibit the fun. Add a couple floating toys
and you'll have an instant mini-sink for baby to
explore!
