Teach Your Baby Math

Very important and easy to do! Jett started this at 13 months and he loved it (at first)! Make sure you only do a couple a day because Jett got really sick of them quickly.
Read How to teach your child through the dot method from childandme.com.

Also, there's a free e-book about it on brillbaby.com. 

Making your own dot cards

You can make your own power point presentation and show the slide show or print them out. I just painted the dots with non toxic tempera paint on paper by "swirling" the brush into a circle. You can use a small "spouncer" (round sponge on a stick from a craft store) or dot stickers as well. He loves having the papers in front of him, plus, you want to avoid exposure to computers/electronics as much as possible. It's a good idea to keep some plants by your computer and printer at all times (away from baby!) to absorb the toxins they emit.
