The rest comes naturally along with it like language, cognitive, motor, and perceptual.
You can easily cover all of the domains at the same time with a super simple activity like singing songs that have different hand motions like “Wheels on the Bus” or “Twinkle, Twinkle” and go slowly to allow them to watch your mouth movements or to try to control, time, and coordinate their movements with yours.
Or grab an object and explain it. Grab an apple and talk about how it's red, tastes sweet, is round like a sphere, it smooth and hard etc. (language development) while making eye contact (social-emotional). Babies will watch your mouth and possibly try to mimic you, may reach out to touch the apple or bring it towards their mouth (physical & cognitive ... tasting and feeling the apple and discovering texture, smell etc). I personally find that the simplest activities with infants and even toddlers are the most enjoyable.
Hey! Thanks for giving me this idea. This will help
