Second trimester Activity Talk with your partner about these three things. Ask: What are your dreams for this baby? Ask: What kind of person are you hoping they will be? Ask: How do you want to be as a parent? Why you are doing it: Having conversations early helps you get to know more about each other it also sets you out on the same or similar paths in parenting. It also helps you start thinking about the realities of parenting. The things you do, the way you are, will help shape the person your child becomes. Doing it together, and doing it with intention makes all the difference. #newdaddy #newparents #newdad #preggo #preggers #20weekscan #20weeks #20weekspregnant #soontobemummy #soontobemum #soontobedad #soontobedaddy #soontobeparent #firsttimedad #babyapp #firstitmemum #17weekspregnant #thirdtrimester #19weekspregnant #2weekspregnant #13weekspregnant #16weekspregnant #parentstobe #babyontheway🍼 #secondtrimester #mummytobe #pregnancylife #15weekspregnant #firsttrimester #14weekspregnant

A fun day at the @childcareedexpo meeting lots of #earlyyears people. And what a coincidence to bump into my #cousin on the @portsmouthuni stand! Great to catch up for lunch @emma.maynard.378 #workdayout #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #earlyyears #networking

Look, @3mutludunya made an artist 🎨 in the garden! Often the BEST activities are the cheapest and simplist. Another activity from the Oliiki app. Building brains 🧠 and making artists 🎨 all at the same time, and I bet there was a whole load of language development as well! Thanks for sharing @3mutludunya! Xx We realized our first #diyhomedecor project with the little explorer😄 I loved the pottery pot he painted ❤️ video is at the end ➡️ #fingerpainting #babyactivitiesathome #babyactivityideas #sensoryplayideas #sensoryplayideas #duyusaletkinlik #duyusaloyun #diyroomdecor #doityourself #kendinyapprojeleri #saksıboyama #potterypainting #bebekaktiviteleri #carioca #parmakboyası Reposted from @3mutludunya

Thank you so much for this lovely post from @_life_with_lilah_ 🌟 𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝟏𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬, 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲’𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞? 🌟 AD| I didn’t, until I was approached by Clare Stead, the creator of the @oliiki app. I was given the opportunity to try this, and it’s been a total god send. As a parent, do you ever feel like you’re not doing enough with your baby? I sure do at times. I get stuck for ideas & find myself googling ways to interact with Lilah that will benefit her. The app shows an age appropriate activity to do with your baby/child every day. This means you’ll never need to scroll through google for this reason again! It shows you how to do the activity so you’re able to be confident in what you’re doing. The activities are simple and only use things in and around your house. The app also shows you the areas of learning you have helped your baby develop by doing each activity. I’ve been using this for a week and I love to look through the activities, save the ones I like the look of to my favourites and try them with Lilah when I get the chance. Some interesting facts for you; -The first 1000 days of life impacts a child’s life outcomes, their job, their resilience, their ability to problem solve, their creativity and much more. - A range of research shows that the way a parent interacts with their baby predicts children’s later development. I 110% would recommend this app, it’s improved my confidence and has given me endless activities to do with Lilah, all of which I know benefit her in some way. Feel free to message me if you would like more information or reach out to Oliiki themselves 😊 #babyapp #parentingapp #babyactivities #tinyactivitiesBIGIMPACT #Oliiki #mumlife #mumswhoblog  #lifeofmum #motherhoodisthebesthood  #mymotherhoodjourney #honestmom Reposted from @_life_with_lilah_

A fab post from @mummamoore.uk Have you tried a sensory bath yet? Sensory bath 🌸 • One of our favourite things to do with a bunch of flowers is a sensory bath. So when we had the most beautiful delivery of @flyingflowers.uk flowers, I looked forward to the day I could pop the girls in the bath to enjoy all of the sensory wonderfulness they had to offer. I added a few sprigs of Lemon Thyme inspired by the @oliiki app daily activity (previously gifted) to add a lovely smell to the sensory experience. • Ivy kicked so happily. I loved watching her splash away. She cried her little heart out when I got her out. Riley had one the next night (no photos of course as per her no photos rule) and enjoyed adding a sparkly bath bomb to the mix. • Such a simple enjoyable sensory activity that we highly recommend ❤ #gifted #sensory #sensorybath #flowerbath #milkbath #sensoryplay #sensoryfun #sensoryactivity #mamasandme #themamaprojectshare Reposted from @mummamoore.uk

What a lovely post from @homewithjess_. For the past few months, I have been using the genius @oliiki app 🤩 It’s scientifically proven to boost your confidence as a parent - I can definitely see that already! It provides a range of activities that you can do by yourself, with your partner or with your baby ranging from the first trimester to when your baby is 2 years old. It ranges from helping with social skills, numbers, visualisation, language, hearing and more! I highly recommend giving the app a try and I can’t wait to do the activities with my baby when they’re here, knowing that I’m providing meaningful activities to help them develop and learn 😍 #oliiki #oliikibaby #oliikiapp #oliikitoddler #oliikilearning #oliikipregancy #oliikinewborn #oliikifirstborn #oliikiparent #secondtrimester #secondtrimesteractivities #childledlearning #parentingapp #parentingapps #parentingactivities #parentingactivity #babydevelopment #babydevelopmentactivities #babylearning #babylearningtools @social.kat.London Reposted from @athomewithjess__

Why stop at one colour when you can paint with lots? Mixing the colours together is part of the learning adventure! Add different tools to make exploring the paint more interesting. Pouring, filling, spooning, they are all different skills. They use different muscles and actions and work in different ways. They all help develop your baby's skill set for later life. #toddleractivity #toddleractivityidea #toddleractivitytime #toddleractivitytips #toddleractivityideas #toddleractivityathome #toddleractivityoftheday #earlylearning #earlyyearsideas #earlyyearseducation #earlychildhoodeducation #babyactivity #babyactivityideas #babyactivitytime #babyactivitycenter #babyactivitycentre

Love this from @becks2706 AD | @oliiki For the past couple of weeks we have been using a developmental app called Oliiki and we just love the age-appropriate activities it has set out for us to do with Noah. Here is a couple of examples of things we have done with Noah the past week: 💛 Bubbles; helping strengthen Noah’s eye muscles and with his focus. 💛 Aeroplane baby; helping strengthen Noah’s core & neck muscles. 💛Swing sensations; helping with develop Noah’s proprioception & vestibular senses. 💛 Favourite books; reading the same book over and over again may seem dull, but by doing so we are helping Noah’s understanding of language. Most of the activities require no or very few resources to carry out and most are carried out in the comfort of your own home which is just great! A lot of the activities you may already do in your day-to-day routine with your child, but this app gives you an insight into the importance of these activities & the science behind them. It also shows activities to do, you never would have thought of doing. The whole family can get involved which is fun and the app accommodates not just new borns and babies, but also development for your little one from conception up to 2 years old. These daily activities help with social skills, language, emotional control, brain development plus much more. I just love this app & wish I had known about it sooner, but it’s never too late to give your little one the best start in life 💛 #oliiki #developmentapp #beststartinlife #fromconception #thesocialcat #socialmamahub #mamasandme Reposted from @becks2706
