Since moving to Odessa I have for NOTHING to do with my baby. No classes, No clubs and the only mommy group that I can find is focused on older kids (my 5 month old would not enjoy the activities yet). So I made a proposal and I have received permission and am now starting a Baby Time Class (ages 18mo and younger) at my church!!!
I am so excited about this because it is giving me the opportunity to research enrichment activities, help parents find things to do with baby, and gives me time to socialize with other mommys. I am trying to host this class once a week (Schedule dependent) and am totally going to post it on here to so that others can view and get inspired for their own classes!
Each weeks lesson will include:
· Opening Prayer
· Sign Language Time - I
am learning (self taught) Sign Language and have read about how beneficial it
is. Introducing children slowly to this second language to children can help
develop verbal and nonverbal language skills.
· Baby and Me workout time
- There are several types of workouts that can be done with both parent and
child.
· Music Time - Time to
introduce a new instrument to the class and then play with “shaker eggs”.
· Developmental Time -
This activity will change every week and include activities to develop young
children's minds and give parents new skills.
· Story Time -
· Parent Chat Time -
Gives parents a time to chat about things and ask other parents about anything
that they would like feedback on (feeding tactics, potty training, teething, etc)
· Closing Prayer
Materials needed -
· Each parent to bring a
blanket for their child to lay/sit on
I am just thrilled to share this with you. Let me know if you have any fun ideas for a class
