We like to look at and talk about photos of those who are special to us, such as family members, brothers and sisters, friends and pets
We like to listen to stories about children and families
We like to explore things to see what we can do with them: We might shake them, hit things with them, look at them, touch them, put them in our mouths or pull them to find out what happens
We put things together that belong together, such as a lid on the teapot or a lid on a box
We learn that when you press the button on the remote control the television comes on or the button on the car key the car makes a noise and a light comes on
We press buttons on toys to make a noise or get something to pop up

Encourage children to climb up a little hill and run down it
