Any activity during which Baby is reaching for or batting an object promotes eye-hand coordination. Another option, appropriate for infants as young as 3 months, is to sew a bell or bells onto an elastic band that you can slip on Baby's wrists or ankles. Once on, gently shake the body part until Baby looks at it.

Also, when Baby is able to sit unassisted, make him comfortable on the floor, legs apart. Sit opposite him in a similar manner and roll a large, brightly colored ball toward him. Describe what you're doing, and encourage him to push it back to you. Another possibility is to give her two large paper or plastic cups, one of which is filled with dry cereal, and encourage her to pour the cereal from one cup to the other. Because this can be a messy activity, it's best to first prepare the floor area with a large vinyl tablecloth!
