Whisk and Pompom Bowl, a baby activity for 8–13 months

How to play

1
Place a large handful of colorful pompoms in a big bowl.
2
Give baby a whisk and show them how to stir the pompoms around.
3
The pompoms will bounce and fly out, which is half the fun!
4
Encourage baby to pick up escaped pompoms and put them back in the bowl.

What you need

• A large bowl
• Colorful pompoms (large size)
• A kitchen whisk

Simple household items. No plastic toys needed.

Why it works

Stirring with a whisk builds wrist rotation and arm strength. Chasing and picking up pompoms encourages crawling, standing, and pincer grasp practice.
