"Choo-Choo ... All Aboard!"
"Brrrrum Brrrum..."
"Moo Moo"
"Baa Baa"
Have you found yourself saying these types of phrases a lot recently to your little one?
Imitation of sounds is a skill that typically develops between 8 and 14 months of age.
For many children, this will begin with imitating raspberries.
As children get better at controlling their mouth and voice, your little one will start producing more “speech-like” sounds, such as b, p, m, w, t, d, n, h, and a variety of vowels; a, e, i, o, u.
Animal noises are also fantastic for encouraging speech and those with duplicated syllables are the easiest.
Singing nursery rhymes are fantastic for this too. Find a few examples of nursery rhymes to sing with your children or your nanny charges below:
Baa Baa Black Sheep
The Wheels On the Bus
Old Mc Donald Had A Farm
Leo The Lion
Tiny Turtle
1,2,3,4,5 Once I Caught A Fish Alive
5 Little Speckled Frogs
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
