“Ready or not, be in a place or you will be caught!” Hide and seek can really liven up everyday routines. All you need is yourselves and it will help develop your wee one's ever growing body and memory.

If you’ve got a little time to spare when you’re getting your toddler up in the morning, try taking turns to hide behind the curtains. Of course, there’s a real art in just about finding your wee one and failing to see them hiding in plain view! At bath time, you could hide under a big towel. When your toddler uncovers you, it’s fun to jump out with a gentle "boo!" and a big tickle.
