Step 1: Make eye contact with your baby as you sing a song.
Step 2: Add finger movements. For example, if you sing “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” make your fingers crawl up your baby’s belly or arm.
Step 3: Sing songs and add finger movement every day. Your baby will one day surprise you and make the movements with his own hands and fingers.
