Nicole, from Canada, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

This is a super simple DIY activity for tummy time. High contrast images will keep your infant’s attention and support their development.

All you need to create these black and white patterns are a box, paper, marker, and tape.

Wrap your box in paper and draw different patterns on each side – lines, circles, squiggles etc. Voilà! You’re ready to play!

If you can, laminate the paper or use freezer (gallon) bags to protect the images. Our box was starting to fray from all the use!

Do you have any other projects planned?

Sensory board!

How are you finding being housebound so far?

The days are long when there isn’t much to do, so play has really become a focus.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Go for walks and spend time outside to explore nature.
