Brainy Baby Activity #2: This Little Piggy...

This little piggy went to market… this little piggy went wee, wee, WEE! The classic song for tiny babies isn’t just for fun (even though wiggling those adorable toes is pretty darn fun)—those little piggies are actually helping your baby build brain connections.

Whether you sing it straight or make up your own lyrics, when your baby hears your words and feels your touch, his brain makes a connection between words and actions. And if he goo-goos, ga-gas, and giggles in delight? Goo-goo right back! Responding to what your child does and says helps him develop the foundation for speaking and reading.
