You need
- a towel
- a soft toy or teddy
Steps
- 1. Sit teddy on the floor in front of your child.
- 2. Cover teddy with the towel. Where did teddy go?
- 3. Pull the towel off: peekaboo! There is teddy!
- 4. Your child's turn to hide teddy for you.
⚠ Safety · Stay nearby
Cover teddy only, never a child's face.
Stop if:
- Your child is upset when teddy disappears — leave a paw showing
Easier
Leave teddy's head peeping out.
Harder
Hide teddy under one of two towels. Which one?
Only 5 minutes?
Three peekaboos.
Why it matters: Peekaboo is a first turn-taking game, and it shows that things still exist when hidden.
Clean-up: Towel back on its hook.
