Playing with the child's own body parts
The ability to capture objects stimulates a child to study his own body. He tilts his neck forward and lifts his legs up, so that his toes are within reach of his outstretched arms. As with many other items, as soon as the child has firmly grasped the toes of his feet, he usually pulls them into his mouth. Note that the child often lifts the big toe up so that it is easier to grasp.
A child loves to grab and suck not only parts of his body - he often grabs you for something he can grab, for example, by the nose, by the hair or by glasses. Within reasonable limits, of course, try not to scold the child because he grabs you and draws you to him. Without this kids do not happen.
Note. Matthew at a meal often exercises, reaching for objects with one hand. At the breast, he waves his hand, pats himself on the head, over my face or on his chest and begins to study my clothes. Usually it amuses me;sometimes it turns into a great annoyance, because it distracts him from eating.

targets. Put the child in the grass. First, he grabbed a whole bunch of grass with his entire palm. Then he will be interested in separate, sticking up leaves and try to take them one by one with all five fingers. Then he will improve his technique and select the leaves one by one at a time with his thumb and forefinger.
The game "Pocket thief". Take advantage of the child's strong interest in small items, especially the pens in the pockets of the shirts. Dads, be sure to wear shirts with a breast pocket and a handle sticking out of it. Take the child in his arms and see how he will discover the game "Pocket thief."A child can take a pen with a precise movement and will hold it tightly, very economically, and it will not be easy for you to regain it;At this stage, he is unlikely to put it
back into his pocket. Children love to play this game and eventually establish an association between a dad in a shirt and pockets with handles that can be grasped. One day I came home from work and took Matthew in my arms. He reached for my pocket, but, to my great surprise, I found that he was empty. He had a puzzled and very disappointed look. In his memory, it was fixed that there are no pockets of shirts without handles, without which there is no pope. Children easily become confused when the usual association is not confirmed.
Playing with spaghetti. Put a bowl of boiled cooled spaghetti before the child - leave the sauce for yourself - and watch how the little fingers will choose them.
