Make eye contact and smile gently
Use a soft, playful voice
Sing simple songs or nursery rhymes
Make funny faces
Gently blow raspberries
Play peekaboo
Gently tickle their feet or tummy
Bounce them softly
Make silly sounds
Use a favorite toy with a bright color or sound
Repeat actions they seem to enjoy
Watch for signs of comfort and interest
Stop if they look tired, upset, or overstimulated
