Dry porridge oats are great for play. Their texture is different to other things your baby might have touched. They're learning all the time from new experiences.
Pour oats into a tray or a bowl and let your baby explore. They might want to sit in the oats or throw them around - let your baby make their own decisions about how to play. Your baby will want to feel the oats.They're exploring through their touch, so describe to your baby how the oats feel.
Make a shaker! Put some oats in a recycled bottle or a cardboard tube and seal the top. Shaking the oats will show your baby how a simple action can make a sound or rhythm.
Your baby is constantly learning from new experiences!
You can help by introducing them to new textures, such as porridge oats. It's a great opportunity to boost their language development too.
