[Childcare] Games that 3-month-old babies like

9 years of experience as a nursery school teacherShibata Risa
I am an active nursery school teacher with 9 years of experience. After graduating from university, I worked at a daycare center. The time I spent happily with children—playing piano, singing songs, and doing finger-play—are priceless memories to me. Currently, while raising three children of my own, I work at an after-school day service, engaging with children and providing individualized developmental support. Drawing on my diverse experiences as a childcare worker and as a mother, I hope to express and convey my thoughts through writing.

Around three months after birth, babies start to smile a lot more and respond adorably to our voices and physical contact.

At three months old, their necks begin to steady, and as their hearing and vision develop, they start showing interest in many things.

We hope they continue to grow well, taking in plenty of stimulation from familiar adults and their surroundings.

With that in mind, we’ve gathered many play ideas that babies will love.

We’ll focus on activities suited to three-month-old developmental stages, so please try them at daycare or at home and enjoy lots of interaction with your baby.

You’re sure to see some adorable moments.

[Childcare] Games That 3-Month-Old Babies Enjoy (11–20)

A bouncer that babies can enjoy once they reach the age when their leg strength and overall body strength start developing.

It’s like a spring-type swing chair for babies, perfect for little ones who spend a lot of time lying down.

Since it’s powered by people, it can be used anywhere, which is another advantage.

It’s a convenient item for busy moms and dads who can’t always be by the side of a lively baby during the phase when they want to be gently rocked.

It also comes with a sturdy safety belt to prevent the baby from falling out of the seat, so you can use it with peace of mind.
