Shapes and Colors at momstown KW's Baby Basics

momstown KW's Baby Basics program is growing again! It was wonderful to see so many new faces and tiny babies! Our Baby Basics program is often a new mom's first introduction to momstown. It's designed for moms with babies aged 0-12 months who are looking to connect with other moms with infants. But it's really much more than that a "new mommies" group - it's also an opportunity for moms to learn about topics important to them, try out baby's first keepsake crafts, and make friendships that may last a lifetime.

This week at Baby Basics, our momstown Mama's created their own sensory shape book! This easy to make craft is a great way to introduce your newborn to the fun world of shapes, colors and textures!

While your newborn's eyes are physically capable of seeing just fine at birth, his brain isn't ready to process all that visual information, so things stay pretty fuzzy for a while. So, try making black and white images of squares, circles and triangles on separate flash cards and hang them somewhere your baby can see it. As your baby learns to focus, the starkness of the black and white will grab his attention!

For older babies, add fun shapes, colors and texture to the pages and watch them have fun exploring the new sensations!

You can be as creative or as simple as you'd like! Your baby will love anything new you introduce to him. *As we used paper, please remember to supervise your baby while discovering with this book to 
prevent them from eating the paper (always known to happen)* 

Baby Basics runs weekly and moms can join in at any time! Like all momstown programs, it's included with your $45/yr membership and there is no start or end date - it's ongoing and flexible to allow moms to join when they feel ready!
