‧ Encourage your little one to explore the toy independently. Does your baby know what a camera is? Does he or she discover the pop up flash when they press the button? If not show how this works.
‧ Show your infant how to hold the camera and look through the viewfinder - point out the happy teddy and encourage your child to talk about what he or she sees.
‧ Help your child's language development by talking about what a camera does and all the interesting 'pretend' pictures they can take. Encourage lots of photo taking - just like Mummy and Daddy.
‧ Praise any efforts at role playing and imitation - role play will become an important developmental play tool and your child will be able to role play more effectively when a little bit older.
