Baby Sensory Victoria
Award winning Baby Sensory classes run in Bentleigh on Fridays.
Suitable for babies from birth to thirteen months each class is unique & full of developmentally appropriate activities to promote your baby's social, physical & cognitive development.

They can enjoy these books almost anywhereโwhether in the park, on a chair, on the floor, in a pram, in the bath, or at the library.
You can even read a magazine, the newspaper, or look at a holiday brochure together.
Your baby will cherish the time spent snuggling with you. The sound of your voice, combined with the closeness and warmth, makes reading a truly special experience.
๐๐ Let Those Tiny Toes Go Barefoot! ๐๐
Did you know that any opportunity for your baby to go barefoot is great for the growth and development of strong, healthy feet? ๐ฆถโจ
Walking barefoot helps build arches, strengthens ankles, and encourages muscles to work harder. Itโs completely normal for your babyโs feet to appear flat-footed at this stageโthe layer of fat that fills out the arches usually disappears by the end of toddlerhood.
Experts agree that your baby's feet develop best when left barefoot for as long as possible. So, let those little toes wiggle and explore the world around them! ๐๐
๐ซ๐ท๐๐ With Paris on our minds, letโs have some fun with the well-known French rhyme, โFrรจre Jacques,โ and ring some bells!
These instruments create beautiful sounds when played together or separately to the classic tune.
Babies absolutely love making music, and the bells will certainly add an extra layer of joy to their musical playtime!
Letโs get those little hands ringing and enjoy the magic of music together! ๐ถ๐๐๐

Babies show a natural fascination with mirrors, typically starting around 4 months of age. At this stage, your baby may begin to smile or show interest when presented with their own reflection. Placing a mirror in front of your baby allows them to see their own face and explore this newfound discovery.
While babies may not fully comprehend that the image they see is their own reflection until they're older, around 18 to 24 months, there are ways to encourage self-awareness. One method is to point to their reflection and say their name, providing verbal reinforcement. Over time, this can help them make connections between the image in the mirror and their own identity, fostering a sense of self-awareness.
