• Cognition: Help the child play hide and seek. Let the child hide toys and find them back.
  Introduce sorting and functions of various objects. Engage in pretend play, (for e.g. telephone talk or horseback ride)

• Motor: Let the child do tasks that build gross motor skills, for e.g. throwing balls; sitting on a trolley and being moved around, moving in and out of a cardboard box, using stairs, jumping on the bed, etc. Fine motor tasks should also be encouraged e.g. building / breaking blocks, opening containers, scribbling, connecting toys, turning pages, etc.

• Language: Imitate specific words, sounds, expressions. Give simple commands and small tasks to the child to compete. Point things out to the child in books, and in the surroundings and label them. Teach the child to indicate wants through speech.

• Cognition: Play hide and seek. Play / help the child put 2-3 shapes in a shape sorter. Let the child stack three blocks /toys, let him place the toys in the container. Show ‘problem-solving’: e.g. using the string to reach and get an object.
