As your child grows from infant to toddler to preschooler, Baby Games supplies rhymes, songs, fingers plays, and games to create a magical childhood. Introduce your newborn to a new world with "The Elevator Game," "Eeezy-Kneezies," or "Touch the Sky." Challenge your cruisin' crawler with "The Cushion Climb" or "Grandfa' Grig." Watch your toddler's gaze of amazement when you blow frozen bubbles or fill up the tub for a "Superbath." The terrible twos are easier to take when your little one learns to sing "I Want to Do It Myself!" And three-year-olds are full of self-satisfaction when they master paper batik or marble painting in your kitchen/art studio. Baby Games also helps you decorate a nursery or child's room for interactive play, and suggests high-quality books, recordings, and toys for little ones. "Birthdays, Unbirthdays, and Other Excuses for a Party" shows you how to turn any ordinary day into a holiday when you're with your child. Whether you're a new parent who has forgotten the words to "Rock-a-Bye Baby," or an experienced parent who needs new ideas for the nursery, Baby Games is your guide to playing joyfully with your child.

Among the author's suggestions are the "Live Jack-in-the Box" game (featuring Dad), "the Magnet Trick," which involves moving an object across baby's high-chair while holding an undetected magnet underneath, and a "Silly Face Contest." They're a little nutty, require no training, and few props, and are guaranteed to work-with one condition: grown-ups can't hold back. Which means not only will you be tickling Baby's funnybone, but your own as well. Book Description: Set your inhibitions aside. Completely nutty yet effective, 97 WAYS TO MAKE A BABY LAUGH, is the perfect, charming gift book for parents who want to tickle their baby's funnybone, and their own. It's like a book of parlor tricks, except that the person who's being entertained is six months old and often as impassive as stone. Adult readers, especially those harried by the day-to-day details of caring for an infant, will rediscover their own sense of the absurd and delight in the suggestions and illustrations. Like countless parents before him, Jack Moore was frustrated trying to amuse his baby son, Brick. Then he set aside his inhibitions and discovered the sheer family pleasure of playing "Live Jack-in-the-Box" (put Dad in a large cardboard box, then have the family sing the familiar tune-at "pop," Dad jumps out). "Three Card Monte for Babies" (using plastic cups and a lemon). The "One Torso, Two Heads" trick (Mom and Dad stand back to back and drape a sheet over their shoulders). "Mr. Ed Impression Contest." "The Human Carousel." "Who's Behind the Door?" And an updated "Stinky Feet Act."
