Thank you, Chip! Thank you for sharing your first-hand experience in seeing babies act like clowns. That is really valuable. Have a playful day!

I consider babies “Clowns in training”. They definitely develop that sense of play and laughter early on. As a pediatric nurse, I have seen it as young as 6 or 7 months. To follow up on your previous post… yes, the connection of play and brain development is less commonly known. I think it is a really important aspect to educate people on! Playing helps children problem solve during a “game” which helps them to learn how to problem solve better during crisis or “real” life. Again, Thank you for all this info, education and fun! Keep playing on!
