Cover your face.
Wait a second.
Then...
Peekaboo!
Suddenly your baby is smiling or laughing.
Why is such a simple game so entertaining?
Peekaboo combines familiar faces, anticipation, repetition, and surprise—all things babies can find fascinating as they develop.
And the best part is that you don't need special equipment.
Try peekaboo:
🙈 Behind your hands.
🧺 With a small cloth while you remain attentive and in control.
🚪 Around a doorway.
🧸 With a favorite toy.
Keep it playful and follow your baby's reactions. If your little one turns away or seems overstimulated, give them a break.
Simple games like this create wonderful opportunities for interaction.
At BareBloom Babies, we believe some of childhood's biggest laughs come from the simplest games.
