Activities To Boost Your Child's Brain Development
Did you know your child is making massive steps just by playing in dirt, building forts and many other basic activities? It has been proven that 70% of a human’s brain development takes place during the first three years of life by playing and multiple basic activities. Many of the ordinary activities your child is performing at home are developing their brain right in front of you.

- Messing at mealtime aidsin Brain Development
Yes, your kiddo will touch & squish their food. This is because they are making brain connections continuously by exploring the things around them through touch, taste and smell. Help your baby strengthen the vital neural pathways in the brain by giving different textured food to your child to explore their neural powers.
- Climbing on everything in the rooms also aids brain development
When you find your two-year child climb on top of the table, they are not deliberately trying to scare you. They are trying to explore the world while working on the important physical skills of balancing and motor skills. You can encourage safe climbing with lots of outdoor and playground time.
- Blowing Bubbles Encourage Brain Development

So, give your young scientist adequate opportunities to dig and dump. Give your child a magnifying glass so that he/she can look at dirt, rocks and small creatures up close.
- Building Fort helps in Brain Development
Blankets and pillows are the best way to make indoor forts which children usually do at home during bed time. But before you stop construction, consider this building and moving carefully through indoor forts is a good way for children to exercise and can help develop skills such as spatial awareness, planning, and problem-solving skills.
- Scribbling helps in Brain Development
