BEGIN WITH A BLANKET
You prepared your home for baby’s arrival
but you didn’t prepare for how to play with a newborn.
You don’t need 200 page baby development book on your bedside table.
What you need are some easy nuggets of information about this tiny new person in your life and something you can do with minimal effort in 5 minutes to feel like you're winning at your baby’s development today.
As a pediatric Occupational Therapist specializing in the first years of life, I wrote Begin With A Blanket: Creative Play For Infants as a unique combination of baby play activity book and infant development guide.
-Rachel Coley, MS, OT/L
Begin With A Blanket features 45 ways to play that promote healthy cognitive, motor and sensory development. You’ve probably looked up when your baby is expected to meet certain milestones - grabbing toys, holding her head up, rolling over - but this book explains just how that progress happens, PLUS how you can help.
Go to bed with the peace of mind that your baby’s development is off to a great start!
What others are saying:
"...hands down THE best purchase I've made as a parent thus far. The reason my {baby} has been such a happy Tummy Timer since day one."
"This book was a life-saver through providing simple, basic, and highly effective strategies to engage my infant in productive play. It was exciting to watch her develop and achieve milestones through play and gave me some peace of mind that I was doing something right!"
"Before I was a stay at home mother to twin boys, I taught elementary school for 15 years. Upon my sons' arrival, I quickly realized that I had no idea of what types of activities that I could do with them that were developmentally appropriate (other than store bought toys, etc.). This book has taught me how to best meet their needs and to do so in a fun way."
"This will definitely be on my resource list for expectant/new parents and my go to baby shower gift!"
