Instructions

1. Invite older children in your center to visit the infant class, either one at
a time or in small groups.
2. The older children can play with the infants or "read" a simple board
book to them.
3. Older children can learn about infant care by watching the teachers,
and the infants can learn from and enjoy watching the older children.
This is especially helpful for children expecting a new baby brother or
sister.

together and display them on the wall or bulletin board.
