Cover a flash light with either red or yellow cellophane (to create soft light). Flash the light on the floor or the ceiling where the baby can see it. Move it slowly and watch to see if they baby’s eye has caught it and is following it. Move it from side to side. Talk to your baby as he/she tracks the light.
